The degree of engineering in the department of computer science is a good choice for the students as the demands in this sector from the last decade is very good and job opportunity is very good for the students.

What is taught in this paper?

The paper is related with designing, developing and working with communication devices and working principles behind it, signals and types of frequencies are some major part of the paper.

Importance of this paper:

The paper is about the development in the area of communication, that will improve the technology and new way of communication will come in place. Students get to how communication takes place with the help of AM, FM waves etc.

Paper Pattern:

The paper is a technical paper and questions in the paper are divided in two parts; Section A is of 10 very short answer type questions and each question is compulsory, all questions are of equal marks whereas Section B is of 5 long answer type questions, each of equal marks and each question is with its own alternative to choose. Some questions in 2nd part are required to be solved with diagram if required.

Frequently asked questions:
