For lakhs of aspirants who don't make it to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), the new year has brought in cheer—this tech school is opening its classrooms beginning Wednesday for engineering colleges across the country.
As reported by TOI on December 8, IIT-Bombay will broadcast its lectures live through Edusat, the satellite which caters exclusively to the educational sector.
Students of any engineering institute will now not only have real-time access to IIT-B tutoring, but can also interact with resident faculty at Powai.
Inaugurating the live interactive classroom, former TCS vice chairman F C Kohli said he had visited the MIT's classrooms of the future and India needs to harness technology in education to a great extent.
"I will not call this distance learning, but a classroom redesigned. This is virtual live education," said Kohli, speaking on the IITB-ISRO initiative.
