Questions

Which syllabus does the Transportation Engineering Lab course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Transportation Engineering 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 IRC limits explained?

Yes. Every result is compared with IRC / MoRTH limits so students can judge suitability of the material.
