Questions

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.
