Project Lab

Project Lab is to give the students technical creative freedom to design, analyze, build & test their creations – proof of concept to business solution. The Project lab is primarily equipped with nine (09) fully functional workbenches, each consisting of core-i3 workstation and basic electronic equipment. Adequate computing facility is provided in terms of software, both proprietary and open source as well as internet connectivity to facilitate the implementation of the solutions. The project lab is a hub of activity during workshops, competitions and various technical events on account of its versatility & well-equipped facilities. Though primarily used for final-year projects, the lab has over a period of time become a technical ‘hang-out’ where enthusiastic students often build, plan and discuss their ideas for various technical competitions.
