Questions
Which syllabus is followed?
The current AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus of Universal Human Values and Professional Ethics (Semester 3 / 4, all branches (AICTE UHV-II)). If your university or college follows a different syllabus, the centre teaches from your own university syllabus.
Is it only theory?
Classes include self-reflection, discussions and case studies along with preparation for the written paper.
Which book is used?
The AICTE textbook 'A Foundation Course in Human Values and Professional Ethics' and the AKTU lecture notes.
Will I learn hacking?
The course explains attack methods only to understand and prevent them; it focuses on safe and legal practices.
What should I do if I am cheated online?
Call the national cyber crime helpline 1930 immediately and file a complaint at cybercrime.gov.in.
Are practical examples used?
Yes. Common sensors used in phones, cars, Arduino projects and industry are shown with each unit.
Is it useful for IoT projects?
Yes. Sensor selection and signal conditioning taught here are the base of IoT and automation projects.
Which syllabus does the Applied Thermodynamics course follow?
It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Applied Thermodynamics. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.
