QUALITY EDUCATION
Dr. Akhilesh Das Gupta Institute of Technology & Management (ADGITM), New Delhi has many features for providing quality education to their students. Some of the features are as follows:
Virtual Lab
Virtual Lab is the initiative of Ministry of HRD under the National Mission on Education through ICT.
Inauguration of ADGITM Virtual Lab is done by IIT, Delhi on August 09, 2011. ADGITM is workiing as a Nodal Center for the Virtual Lab.
The Objective of the Virtual Lab is
To provide remote-access to Labs in various disciplines of Science and Engineering. These Virtual Labs would cater to students at the undergraduate level, post graduate level as well as to research scholars. |
To enthuse students to conduct experiments by the arousing their curiosity. This would help them in learning basic and advanced concepts through remote experimentation. |
To provide a complete Learning Management System around the Virtual Labs where the students can avail the various tools for learning, including additional web-resources, video-lectures, animated demonstrations and self evaluation. |
To share costly equipment and resources, which are otherwise available to limited number of users due to constraints on time and geographical distances. |
Broad Areas of Virtual Labs:
Electronics & Communication Engineering | Chemical Sciences |
Computer Science & Engineering | Physical Sciences |
Electrical Engineering | Civil Engineering |
Mechanical Engineering | Chemical Engineering |
EduSAT
College has a facility of EduSAT for imparting the Knowledge from various resourceful persons.
EduSAT is a communications satellite which was launched on September 20, 2004 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). EduSAT is the first Indian satellite built exclusively to serve the Educational Sector. It is mainly intended to meet the demand for an interactive satellite-based distance education system for the country.
