Questions

Which syllabus does the Computer Organization and Architecture course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Computer Organization and Architecture. 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 numericals covered?

Yes: Booth multiplication, IEEE 754 conversion, pipeline speed-up, cache mapping and average memory access time are practised in every batch.
