Questions

Which syllabus is followed?

The current AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus of Engineering Chemistry (Semester 2, all branches (Semester 1 for some groups)). If your university or college follows a different syllabus, the centre teaches from your own university syllabus.

Are numericals included?

Yes. Nernst equation, hardness, Beer-Lambert law and calorific value numericals are practised in every batch.

Is the lab taught separately?

Yes. Titrations and water analysis are covered in the Engineering Chemistry Lab course.

Which unit is most scoring?

Laplace transform and differential equations are formula-based and scoring; regular practice is given on them.

Are previous year papers solved?

Yes. Previous AKTU question papers are solved unit-wise and used for weekly tests.

Is it useful for non-electronics branches?

Yes. Every branch now uses sensors, controllers and digital systems; this course gives the basics.

Is the lab part covered?

Diode, transistor, op-amp and logic gate experiments are covered in the Basic Electronics Engineering Lab course.

Is it difficult for non-mechanical students?

No. Each topic starts from Class 12 physics and is explained with everyday machines and simple numericals.
