V1- Introduction to Thermo Syllabus

 

This blog is dedicated to syllabus concerning syllabus for Thermodynamics.

[For Indian Students]

AICTE(All India Council for Technical Education)

This statutory body basically gives accreditation,

 which means colleges or school needs to follow the rules and guidelines set by them.
