UPDA MECHANICAL - https://sowl.co/yAvTM
UPDA CIVIL - https://sowl.co/BHb24

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY


Disclaimer: Passing the UPDA exam depends on the candidate's ability to understand
engineering concepts and apply it in real life. There is no guarantee that studying this guide
alone will help in passing the exam. You should have your own engineering knowledge that you
have studied from university and through the work experience you have gained over years.

1. Concepts: Like for every engineering exam in university, No questions will be asked from
the guide exactly, only the concepts will be the same. All the questions in the exam will be
just application of the concepts. This guide is prepared to refresh your engineering
concepts so that you can have a better chance of passing the exam. However it depends on
the person's ability to understand concepts and apply it in real life.
2. Topics: Full topics of engineering cannot be covered in one full document, so this is just
and overview of the basics in electrical engineering
