Infrastructure :

Digital & System Designs Lab :
The laboratory consists of hands-on assignments which accompany the lectures. The goal is to illustrate concepts discussed in the class and to give the students the opportunity to build and test real systems. The lab exercises will make use of the Digital Trainer Kits for circuit simulations and GPL Cver which is a state-of-the-art CAD tool for designing and implementing digital systems on Field Programmable devices (FGPAs or CPLDs). The assignments will introduce you gradually to the Xilinx tools and will serve to illustrate the material covered in class.

Communication Lab :
This laboratory is fully equipped with major equipments like Spectrum Analyzer, Phase Locked Loop, Frequency Synthesizer Kit, Pulse Code Modulation kit, Pulse Code De-modulation kit, Line- Code Encoding kit, Line –code Decoding kit, Cathode Ray Oscilloscope, Function Generator, Digital Communication trainer kit for doing experiments This Laboratory is completely sophisticated by all basic and latest equipments for doing all experiments which will meet the Syllabus requirement, project and research activity.

Multimedia and Computer Graphics Laboratory :
This lab has sufficient systems with higher configuration to widen Graphics, Animation and for system programming

Network Laboratory :
The goal of the Networking Technologies Laboratory is to create new economic and social opportunities by researching, creating, promoting, applying and commercializing new network technologies and applications with an emphasis on real-time, networked collaboration. The Networking Technologies Laboratory collaborates with key industry partners to identify and overcome technological and economic impediments in their businesses which can be solved using network and advanced applications research.
