- For Boiler Inspector, both Paper-I and Paper-II emphasize boiler-specific technical knowledge, calculations, and operational management, with a total of 400 marks (200 per paper).
- Context for Fatima Academy: If this syllabus is being adapted for educational purposes at Fatima Academy, it can be used to prepare students for competitive examinations like Factory Inspector or Boiler Inspector roles. Practical demonstrations, such as the burning of magnesium ribbon, can be integrated into the curriculum to teach concepts like combustion (relevant to Boiler Inspector syllabus) or safety considerations (relevant to Factory Inspector syllabus).
If you need further customization, such as integrating specific topics (e.g., combustion of magnesium ribbon) into the syllabus or designing a teaching plan for Fatima Academy, please clarify!
