Questions
Which syllabus does the Design of Steel Structures course follow?
It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Design of Steel Structures. 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.
Which sections are used in design examples?
Only Indian standard sections (ISMB, ISMC, ISA as per IS 808 and SHS / RHS as per IS 4923) are used, exactly as expected in AKTU exams and in practice.
