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.
Mechatronics — What This Subject Is About
Mechatronics is where mechanics meets electronics: sensors, drives, hydraulics and pneumatics working together in one system. This subject builds an understanding of mechatronics — its systems and elements, drives, and hydraulic and pneumatic systems — and helps you identify problems and decide applications for future development. This is Open Elective-2, Option 2: you choose either this subject or Economic Policies in India.
The five units are an introduction to mechatronics, elements in mechatronics, drives, hydraulic systems and pneumatic systems. The elements unit — sensors, transducers, microprocessors, microcontrollers, PID controllers and PLCs — carries the most weightage at 23% (08 periods). One honest note: the PDF's printed course objective for Mechatronics is about developing a project plan, which does not match the subject; the aim above is drawn from the learning outcomes instead. Note the marks: this is a (Q) qualifying subject — 50 marks internal, 2 credits. Passing is compulsory, but the marks do not count for your percentage or division.
