Preparation Material Circuital Core(EE,EC,EI)

This preparation material has been divided into 2 important sections,

If anyone wants to prepare for the circuital core, they can start with either of the 2 sections
depending upon their interest.

For EE core the major subjects like Power electronics and Electrical Machines are covered
which are frequent in OT and interviews.

For VLSI major subjects like Digital, Analog, Verilog, and STA are very important and in this
document, we have covered verilog projects but you can have any VLSI projects.

Note: The depth of the subjects required varies as per the profile offered.

ALL THE BEST !!!

The subjects that are needed to be focussed in the electrical core are: -
1. Electrical Machines
2. Power Electronics
3. Network Analysis

Electrical Machines must be studied from the book

P. S. Bimbhra Electrical Machinery

The chapters that you need to focus on are:

Chapter 1 - Transformers
Chapter 3 - Basic concepts of rotating Electrical Machines 3.1 to 3.3 & 3.10
Chapter 4 - D. C. Machines
Chapter 6 - Polyphase Induction Motors

The above sections can be studied in detail in the following playlist, but please try to read the
chapters from the book line by line.
