Questions
Which syllabus does the Hydraulic Engineering and Machines course follow?
It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Hydraulic Engineering and Machines. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.
Will this help in the university examination?
Yes. Teaching is unit-wise as per the AKTU scheme, with previous-year question practice, MCQ tests and doubt sessions before the semester exam.
Are turbine and pump numericals covered?
Yes. Velocity triangle, efficiency and power numericals on turbines and pumps are practised unit-wise as in AKTU papers.
