Please note — cover year vs approval: BTEUP's own file for this curriculum prints "YEAR 2025-2026" on its cover, while carrying the approval line "UPDATED AND APPROVED BY BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION U.P. LUCKNOW IN C.D.C MEETING HELD ON 16.07.2026" on every page. It is filed in BTEUP's 2026-27 folder (folder2627), so it is treated here as the 2026-27 syllabus on the strength of that approval. The scheme it carries is identical, subject for subject and mark for mark, to the 2025-26 scheme.
