Anyone with passion and hard work can pass out with minimal preparations" This is what we always say, and hence we have prepared the Engineering Physics A (For Circuit Branches)- PH100 for those who want to pass out in spite of their busy schedule. The self-study and self-assessment features of this course enable students to prepare themselves and clear their doubts with minimum guidance from us. Some students may not be able to attend the class but are still able to develop an interest in learning Physics through our excellent study materials comprising of Notes, Presentations and Previous Years Question papers which are easily available on our website (www.keralanotes.com).
