Syllabus

The official syllabus is on the Kerala PSC site. The AE level course covers the shared core, and we teach Part I with a separate printed book. Lecturer in Polytechnic shares about 70 marks of its syllabus with the AE exams and adds 30 marks of technical mathematics and basic engineering (see the comparison). We turn it into a topic-wise study plan inside the course.

Five extra basic portions

The Lecturer paper adds five basic-engineering portions on top of the electrical and electronics subjects:

  • Basic Civil Engineering
  • Basic Mechanical Engineering
  • Basic Electronics
  • Basic Electrical Engineering
  • Basic Computer

We teach these portions in class for Lecturer aspirants, and a separate printed textbook is available for them.
