Questions

Which syllabus does the Cloud Computing course follow?

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

Do I need a paid cloud account?

No. Free tiers of AWS / Azure / Google Cloud and local VirtualBox are enough for the demonstrations.
