This UQuest question bank has been prepared strictly as per the AKTU (Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) First Year B.Tech syllabus for the course AAS104 / AAS204 — Introduction to Indian Knowledge System, a value-added subject common to all engineering streams across Semester I and II. Every unit below is covered with three categories of practice questions, each with complete, concise, exam-ready solutions, to help students revise concepts and prepare thoroughly for the semester end examination.

Question Pattern Followed Per Unit

• Section A: 15 Multiple Choice / True-False Questions — with correct answer and explanation.
• Section B: 12 Short Answer Type Questions — with concise, exam-ready answers.
• Section C: 12 Long Answer Type Questions — with structured explanations, illustrative examples, and diagrams.

This subject introduces students to the foundations, scientific thinking, engineering achievements, wellness/governance traditions and contemporary relevance of the Indian Knowledge System — studied here as serious academic, historical and scientific subject matter rather than devotional instruction. Fifteen labelled diagrams (three per unit) illustrate key concepts such as the fourteen Vidyasthanas, the six Pramanas, the Katapayadi numeral encoding, the Panchanga, ancient metallurgy and town planning, the Tridosha theory, the eight limbs of yoga, and the CSIR-TKDL/Panini-NLP connection. Two full-length Model Question Papers are included at the end of this book, formatted exactly in the official AKTU BTECH theory-examination pattern (Section A / B / C, CO and Level columns, 3 Hours, 70 Marks), so students can attempt a complete, timed mock test as final practice.
