Questions

Which syllabus does the Cyber Security Workshop course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Cyber Security Workshop. 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 hacking of real websites taught?

No. All tools are used only on the centre's own lab machines and intentionally vulnerable practice VMs; scanning or attacking systems without permission is illegal under the IT Act.
