Questions

Which syllabus does the Surveying and Geomatics course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Surveying and Geomatics. 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 field work included?

Theory is taught unit-wise; for field practice the centre shows levelling, theodolite and total station work and their calculations.
