IT College Students To Get Laptops

Speaking to Monitor, NIIT general manager Ravi Srinivasan says the laptop scheme is meant to improve the quality of education at the institution that focuses more on Information Technology (IT). "We teach the students the bolts and nuts of IT hands-on and when we analysed the situation we realised that they only practise while at school and do not have the opportunity to do so at home and so we started this scheme," Srinivasan said.

He said the students are not taught how to work on the programmes at the institution but how to create the programmes, even if they are all not going to be programmers.
