Questions

Which syllabus does the Engineering Thermodynamics course follow?

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

Are steam tables allowed in the exam?

Yes, AKTU generally allows steam tables and the Mollier chart; the centre trains students to read them quickly.
