What you need

Class 12 Physics and Mathematics (vectors, trigonometry, calculus)

Questions

Which syllabus does the Engineering Mechanics course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Engineering Mechanics. 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 this subject mostly numerical?

Yes. About 80% of the AKTU paper is numerical, so the centre practises free body diagrams and step-by-step solutions for every unit.
