Questions
Which syllabus does the Blockchain Architecture Design course follow?
It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Blockchain Architecture Design. 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 about cryptocurrency trading?
No. The subject covers the architecture and engineering of blockchain systems and their business and government use cases, not trading.
