The labs will be interactive where students can clarify their doubts instantly, he added. As per a statement released by the prestigious institution, students of other academic institutions were allowed to visit these facilities as part of a tour, earlier, but now they would be able to use these for academic purposes.
IIT Indore is already conducting a “Vigyan par Charcha” programme to provide hands-on knowledge on various subjects to the schoolchildren and teachers. "Laboratory classes will provide students with first-hand experience and opportunity to explore methods used by practitioners in their respective disciplines.
