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 AAS105 / AAS205 — Professional Communication and Technical Writing, an HSMC 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.

• Section A: 15 Multiple Choice / True-False Questions — with correct answer and explanation.

This subject builds workplace-ready communication skills across five units: professional communication and career readiness (business correspondence, résumés, interviews, LinkedIn/ATS branding), grammar and vocabulary for technical writing, public speaking and AI-assisted presentation skills (including non-verbal communication technique drawn from the classical Natyashastra), emotional intelligence and critical thinking for the workplace (drawing on the Bhagavad Gita and the Nyaya/Viveka logical traditions as academic source material), and leadership and mindful workplace communication (including the Yama/Niyama ethical-communication framework and leadership lessons from the Panchatantra). Fifteen labelled diagrams (three per unit) illustrate key frameworks such as the 7 C's of communication, the communication process, the three Abhinayas, the Gita-based EI framework, and the Yama/Niyama communication principles. 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.
