Hi,

Abdul Kalam Technical University) is generally considered better for BTech degree because it's a dedicated technical university with numerous affiliated engineering colleges, offering many specialisations and industry focus than Lucknow University, which is a broader university with a newer BTech program, though LU's placements are improving.

No branch guarantees the highest salary. Computer Science and related branches, like IT, AI and Data Science, usually pay the most at the start. Electronics and Communication comes next, because it is also in demand in tech and chip companies. Mechanical, Civil and Electrical can pay well too, especially in core companies, but the starting offers are often lower.

Here are some tips for preparing for AKTU exams:

Make a study plan

Manage your time

Take regular breaks

Use question papers and mock tests

Review previous year question papers

Explain your answers to others

Stay healthy
