Teaching aids such as LCD Projector, OHP, CD demo, equipment demonstrations, Models, Charts etc are regularly used to enhance better understanding. Around 18-20 students of each class are allocated to a mentor who keeps a close rapport with each student with regard to academic and personal matters.
Student Chapters of IEEE, CSI, ACM and ISTE conduct events round the year, keeping students busy with beyond-the-classroom activities.
