Questions

Which syllabus does the Structural Analysis course follow?

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

Are long numericals practised?

Yes. Slope deflection and moment distribution problems are solved step by step in AKTU exam format, with checks.
