AKTU B.Tech Mathematics Syllabus 2026-27 — which book covers which unit

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU, Lucknow) is the affiliating technical university for Uttar Pradesh and one of the largest in India. It has issued a revised B.Tech syllabus effective from the 2026-27 session, with new course codes (AAS103/AAS203 in the first year) and stream-specific mathematics.

Our engineering mathematics titles cover that syllabus unit by unit — the same books, whichever stream you are in. Below is the AKTU syllabus mapped to the titles that cover each unit, with any topic outside our range called out plainly.

First Year — Core engineering streams

Civil (CE), Mechanical (ME), Electronics & Communication (ECE), Electrical (EE), Chemical (CH) and Textile (TX). AKTU issues these as separate course-code variants (AAS103A/B/C/E/G), but the five units are the same across them — only the worked engineering applications differ.

Frequently asked

Which books cover the AKTU first-year maths syllabus (AAS103 / AAS203)?
Engineering Mathematics-I covers the calculus, multiple-integral, matrix-algebra and vector-space units; Engineering Mathematics-II covers vector calculus, differential equations and complex variables; Engineering Mathematics-III covers the Laplace and Fourier transform work. Together they cover the AAS103 and AAS203 units across every stream variant.
My course code is AAS103C, not AAS103A — is the syllabus different?
Only slightly. AKTU issues the first-year maths in stream variants (A to H) — Civil, Mechanical, ECE, Electrical, Chemical and Textile share the same five units and differ mainly in the worked engineering applications. Computer Science (D) and the Biotechnology/Agriculture variants (F, H) differ more; all of them are mapped separately above.
The books say RGPV on the cover — are they valid for AKTU?
Yes. Engineering mathematics is national, not university-specific: the AKTU units above — partial differentiation, multiple integrals, matrices and eigenvalues, vector calculus, differential equations, Laplace and Fourier transforms, complex analysis — are the same topics our books are written to. The map above shows exactly which book covers which AKTU unit.
Do these cover AKTU second-year Mathematics III and IV?
Yes. Engineering Mathematics-II covers the partial-differential-equations units, Engineering Mathematics-III covers the numerical techniques and transforms, and the Probability & Statistics titles cover the statistical techniques. Statistical quality control and control charts are the main topics outside our range — we flag those against the relevant course above.
