Questions
Which syllabus is followed?
The current AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus of Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering (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.
Is it difficult for non-mechanical students?
No. Each topic starts from Class 12 physics and is explained with everyday machines and simple numericals.
Are diagrams taught?
Yes. Neat labelled diagrams of engines, turbines, pumps and machines are practised for the university paper.
