Questions

Which syllabus does the Computer Networks Lab course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Computer Networks Lab. 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 Cisco Packet Tracer used?

Yes. Packet Tracer (free) is used for routing and LAN design, together with socket programs in C / Java.
