Questions

Which syllabus does the Environmental Engineering course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Environmental Engineering. 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 design problems included?

Yes. Population forecasting, sedimentation tank, filter, sewer and BOD numericals are practised as per the AKTU pattern.
