IIT(ISM) has chosen 10 existing premier lecture halls to be converted to world class smart classrooms. The objectives of smart classrooms are to provide enhanced learning experience to students via real-time e-learning with help of audios and videos, multimedia, images, online web conferences, PPT presentations, and 2D & 3D animations. The work includes sound proofing, adding latest audiovisual equipment and installing computer equipment to teach online classes.

Five ISMAANA alumni have graciously come forward to sponsor six lecture hall upgrades. They are Dr Pramod Thakur (61ME) who is sponsoring upgrade of MIN1, Mining Engineering lecture hall in the Heritage building, Dr. Mohinder Gulati (62PE), who is sponsoring upgrading of 2 lecture halls, one in the Petroleum Engineering building and one in the new lecture hall complex.

Hemanta Mukherji (68PE) is sponsoring upgrade of one Lecture Hall Complex classroom.

Funding requirement of each lecture hall upgrade is Rs. 18 Lakhs. We appreciate the generous contribution of above alumni for the smart classroom upgrades.

Final contactor for the smart classroom upgrade project is selected and the work is scheduled to start soon with project completion scheduled for March 2021.
