Questions

Which syllabus does the Surveying and Geomatics Lab course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Surveying and Geomatics Lab. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

Will this help in the practical exam and viva?

Yes. Each experiment is explained with its aim, procedure, calculations and result, followed by viva questions and a mock practical.

Are instruments provided?

Yes. Level, theodolite and total station demonstrations are done at the centre; students also follow their college lab manual.
