Questions

Which syllabus does the Mobile Computing course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Mobile Computing. 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.

Is this subject only theory?

It is a theory elective, but the centre also shows simple demos of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Android networking so concepts are easy to remember.
