BTEB Diploma in Textile Engineering Examination study plan

Classify natural and man-made fibres by origin, chemical composition and generic name, and write a one-line identification note for each of at least 15 fibres.

Draw and label the morphological structure (cuticle, cortex, medulla for hair fibres; skin, lumen for cotton) of four major fibres from memory.

Relate fibre length, fineness, crimp and maturity to the yarn properties they influence, listing at least three consequences per parameter.

Solve five numerical problems on fibre fineness (denier, tex, decitex) and moisture regain conversions, showing every step.

Sequence the blow-room to ring-frame flow and state the purpose and waste extracted at each machine.

Explain the carding action between flats and cylinder and calculate draft and production for a carding machine using given feed and delivery speeds.

Compare ring, rotor and air-jet spinning on speed, yarn structure and suitable count range in a table you construct yourself.

Compute twist per inch from twist multiplier and count, and total draft across a draw-frame with given sliver and delivery hank.

Identify five common spinning defects (neps, slubs, thick and thin places, hairiness) and trace each to its likely machine stage.

Describe the primary motions of a loom (shedding, picking, beating-up) and the secondary motions (take-up, let-off) with the function of each.

Sketch and label the path of warp yarn through a loom from warp beam to cloth roller, naming every element in order.

Distinguish weft-knitted (plain, rib, interlock) from warp-knitted structures by loop formation and stretch behaviour.

Calculate fabric cover factor, ends per inch and picks per inch from given construction data, and compute fabric weight in grams per square metre.

Explain four common woven fabric defects (missing pick, broken end, float, warp streak) and their probable causes.

Explain the preparatory processes (singeing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerising) with the purpose and one key parameter of each.

Classify dyes (reactive, vat, direct, acid, disperse, basic) by fibre affinity and describe the dye-fibre bonding mechanism for reactive and vat dyes.

Outline the screen printing and rotary printing methods and compare them on production rate, design detail and cost.

Describe five mechanical and chemical finishes (calendering, sanforising, resin finish, water repellency, flame retardancy) and the property each changes.

Calculate dye and chemical recipe quantities for a given batch weight in kilograms and liquor ratio.

Sequence the garment production line from pattern making and marker planning through cutting, sewing and finishing, stating the output of each section.

Compute fabric consumption per garment from given marker width, garment size and fabric width, and calculate marker efficiency.

Select the correct test method concept for count, strength, elongation, crimp, shrinkage and colour fastness, and state what each test measures.

Interpret given test data against a specification and decide pass or fail, explaining the reasoning.

Distinguish the roles of quality control and quality assurance in a garment factory with one concrete example of each.

Describe the function and typical maintenance schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) for three key machines: card, ring frame and loom.

Distinguish preventive, breakdown and predictive maintenance, and list the cost consequence of each if neglected.

Compute a simple cost sheet for a yarn lot covering raw material, power, labour and overhead, and derive cost per kilogram.

Calculate break-even quantity and margin from given fixed cost, variable cost and selling price.

Outline the main functions of management (planning, organising, leading, controlling) applied to a textile unit, and list three traits of an entrepreneur in the sector.

Identify the textile applications of CAD in fabric design, marker making and colour matching, and state one benefit of each over manual work.

Use a spreadsheet to build a small production or costing calculator, entering formulas for at least three derived values.

List the main hazards in spinning, weaving and dyeing sections (dust, noise, moving parts, chemicals) and match each to a control measure.

Explain the purpose of personal protective equipment and the correct use of at least four items in a dye house.

Outline effluent treatment steps in a wet-processing plant and state the environmental risk of untreated dye liquor discharge.

Consolidate the full syllabus into a one-page revision map linking each domain to its key formulas and definitions.

Write a structured project or attachment report outline (objectives, methodology, observations, conclusions) for a chosen textile topic.

Complete a timed mock paper across all domains and score it against an answer key, recording weak areas.

Re-drill every formula from weeks 1 to 6 (draft, twist, cover factor, GSM, consumption, cost, break-even) without notes.

Review and correct all weak areas flagged in the mock within the final study hours.
