Dear students,

After observing the questions asked in all PSU interviews, I found some common/important topics.
I have listed all these topics in video format (each video max 15 min) mostly before May 28’th or June 5’th I will try to
complete all videos.
I advise everyone to have continuous focus .So that no one will miss any topics.
Control Valves ( 10 Videos Approx.), Controllers (10 Videos), Controller Strategies (5 Videos), Extra Copy(5 Videos)
