4. Virtual Labs is a project initiated by the Ministry of
Human Resource Development , Government of India,
under the National Mission on Education through
Information and Communication Technology.
It also intends to develop a complete Learning
Management System where the students can avail the
various tools for learning, including additional web-
resources, video-lectures, animated demonstrations and
self-evaluation. There is also a component where in
costly equipment and resources are shared, which are
other wise available to only a limited number of users
due to constraints on time and geographical distances.
5. Seven IIT's(Delhi, Bombay, Kanpur,
Kharapur, Madras, Roorkee and Guwahatai ), IIT
Hyderabad, Amrita university, NIT Karnataka, and
College of Engineering, Pune, are the institutions
participating in the project.
The Project intends to cover physical
sciences, chemical science and various branches
of engineering like electronics and
communications, computer science and
engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical
engineering, chemical engineering, biotechnology
engineering and civil engineering.
6. The project aims to provide remote-
access to Laboratories in various
disciplines of science and
engineering for students at all levels
from under-graduate to research.
7. 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 arousing their curiosity. This
would help them in learning basic and
advanced concepts through remote
experimentation.
8. 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.

10. 1. Virtual labs should not altogether
replace “real world labs”, but
instead enhance.
2. Make sure virtual labs are
accessible to students.
3. Rigorously assess virtual labs and
their usefulness.
11. One of the most persistent problems
has been the factor of time.
The lack of face-to-face interactions
with other peers and the instructor
can be a disadvantage for the
students and professors.
