Haryana BSEH Senior Secondary NSQF Automotive study plan

Haryana BSEH Senior Secondary NSQF Automotive · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Automotive Engine Systems and Overhaul & Automotive Workshop Safety, Tools and Equipment

  • Label the four-stroke cycle events and identify valve timing points on a cutaway engine diagram from memory

  • Measure cylinder bore taper and out-of-round with a bore gauge and record readings against the service limit

  • Demonstrate correct use of torque wrench, feeler gauge, micrometer and dial indicator, stating each tool's least count

  • List the personal protective equipment and fire-safety steps required before starting engine dismantling

  • Explain the purpose of each component in the valve train and cooling-lubrication interface of an overhauled head

Your checkpoint

A handwritten overhaul worksheet for one engine: measured bore, taper, out-of-round, piston-to-bore clearance, and a labelled valve-train sketch with service-limit comparisons

Week 2

Automotive Engine Systems and Overhaul & Fuel, Emission Control and Alternative Fuels

  • Assemble a cylinder head in correct bolt-tightening sequence and state the torque stages used

  • Diagnose three common engine symptoms (blue smoke, low oil pressure, overheating) by mapping each to at least two probable causes

  • Describe the construction and working of carburettor, MPFI injector and CRDi injector and compare their fuel-metering principles

  • Identify the function of catalytic converter, EGR valve and PCV system in controlling emissions

  • Compare properties of petrol, diesel, CNG and an ethanol-blended fuel relevant to engine operation

Your checkpoint

A one-page fault-cause table linking six engine and fuel-system symptoms to test methods, plus a completed head-assembly torque record

Week 3

Transmission, Drivetrain and Differential Systems & Braking, Steering and Suspension Systems

  • Trace power flow through clutch, gearbox, propeller shaft and differential and label each stage on a drivetrain sketch

  • Explain the working of a synchromesh gearbox and name the parts that wear most often

  • Measure differential backlash and state the acceptable range and the effect of too much or too little

  • Describe the construction and bleeding procedure of a hydraulic brake system including the master cylinder

  • Compare disc and drum brakes and identify the checks used to judge pad and lining wear

Your checkpoint

A labelled drivetrain-and-brake diagram set with a written procedure for brake bleeding and differential backlash measurement, including limits

Week 4

Braking, Steering and Suspension Systems & Automotive Workshop Safety, Tools and Equipment

  • Inspect steering linkages, tie-rod ends and ball joints and classify each finding as serviceable or rejectable

  • Explain wheel alignment angles (camber, caster, toe-in, kingpin inclination) and the handling fault each incorrect angle causes

  • Describe the working of a MacPherson strut and a leaf-spring suspension and name their wear points

  • Demonstrate safe jacking and axle-stand placement on a vehicle and state the checks made before working underneath

  • List the steps for wheel balancing and tyre rotation and state why each matters

Your checkpoint

A 15-point under-vehicle inspection checklist filled in on a real or simulated vehicle, with each item marked pass, attention or reject and a reason

Week 5

Automotive Electrical and Electronic Systems & Diagnostics, Troubleshooting and Vehicle Inspection

  • Explain the construction and testing of a lead-acid battery, including specific gravity and load-test interpretation

  • Trace the charging circuit from alternator to battery and describe how a faulty regulator shows up as a symptom

  • Describe the starter motor circuit and use a multimeter to test for voltage drop across a cable

  • Read a simple wiring diagram and identify the effect of an open circuit, short to ground and high-resistance joint

  • Explain the role of ECU, sensors and actuators in a modern engine management system and name three commonly used sensors

Your checkpoint

A completed electrical diagnostic log for five simulated faults, each with measured values, the circuit traced and the conclusion reached

Week 6

Diagnostics, Troubleshooting and Vehicle Inspection & Vehicle Body, Paint and Trim

  • Apply a structured diagnostic sequence (verify complaint, gather data, isolate, confirm repair) to three case-style faults

  • Interpret OBD trouble-code categories and state what a code does and does not prove about the fault

  • Describe the stages of vehicle body repair from dent removal through primer, putty, base coat and clear coat

  • Identify paint defects such as orange peel, runs and blistering and state one cause and one remedy for each

  • Explain how a vehicle inspection is documented, including what a roadworthiness check covers for brakes, lights and emissions

Your checkpoint

A mock inspection report for one vehicle covering body, paint and mechanical items, with a written diagnostic justification for each defect noted

Week 7

Fuel, Emission Control and Alternative Fuels & Employability Skills and Entrepreneurship

  • Compare BS-VI emission norms with earlier norms in terms of the pollutants regulated and the hardware added

  • Describe the working of an LPG or CNG kit and the safety checks required before and after installation

  • Draft a simple business plan for a two-bay auto workshop covering services, pricing, staff and break-even estimate

  • List the customer-handling and workplace communication practices expected of a technician

  • Explain the employability skills of punctuality, teamwork, record keeping and workplace ethics with one workshop example each

Your checkpoint

A two-page workshop business plan with a break-even calculation and a short customer-handling script for explaining a repair estimate

Week 8

Practical Workshop Practice and Project Work & Diagnostics, Troubleshooting and Vehicle Inspection

  • Complete a timed full-length mock test and score each domain separately to find weak areas

  • Re-perform the two weakest practical procedures from earlier weeks without referring to notes

  • Revise all service-limit and specification figures collected during the plan into one reference sheet

  • Explain your project work end to end: what was done, which tools were used, safety followed and the result measured

  • Draw up a final one-week revision schedule targeting the two lowest-scoring domains

Your checkpoint

A completed mock-test score sheet by domain, a consolidated specification sheet and a project write-up with safety and result sections
