The numbered study subtopics are editorial elaborations for teaching and study, rather than a separately issued TU syllabus. Unit or component allocations apply at their stated level; no separate topic hours or marks are assigned here. Examples involving current laws, rates, institutional products or Nepalese status must identify the relevant period and official materials; no changing numerical or legal requirements are invented here.
