Hello students,
I am Devendra kumawat , I have competed my graduation from university of mumbai, from universal college of engineering. I have very good subjective knowledge in electrical engineering subjects like Analog circuit, digital circuit, network theory, control system, signal and system, communication and eme. I can solve your problems related to physics also.
As I am an electronics engineer, I teach many of my friends for their exams. I have you tube channel also, where I am supplying daily quizzes to my subscribers for their GATE exam preparation.
At last teaching is my passion.
Thank you.
