Questions

Which syllabus does this follow?

The course follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) first-year Engineering Physics syllabus of the current scheme. Where your own university syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

Are derivations covered?

Yes. Important derivations such as Schrodinger equation, particle in a box, Maxwell's equations, Newton's rings, grating and numerical aperture are written step by step.

Do you solve previous-year AKTU papers?

Yes. Previous-year questions and numericals are solved unit-wise before the semester exam.

Is the lab part included?

This course covers the theory paper. Viva questions for the physics lab can be discussed on request.

Which syllabus is followed?

The current AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus of Engineering Mathematics-I (Semester 1, all branches). If your university or college follows a different syllabus, the centre teaches from your own university syllabus.

How are numericals practised?

Every unit is taught with solved examples, then home assignments and unit tests from previous AKTU question papers.

Is a calculator allowed?

A non-programmable scientific calculator is used for practice, as permitted in the university examination.

Will weak Class 12 calculus be a problem?

No. Short revision of differentiation and integration is done before Units 2 to 4.
