Verified vs. official syllabus Checked 2026-07-01

Both the subject list and detailed unit topics are sourced from an autonomous JNTUK-affiliated college's published syllabus and have not been independently cross-confirmed against JNTUK's own exam records -- autonomous colleges may adapt content locally.
