सवाल

Which syllabus does the Engineering Geology course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Engineering Geology. 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 mineral and rock identification shown?

Yes. Hand specimens and photographs are used to identify common minerals and rocks, along with their engineering use.
