E-learning is an essential component of the institute’s teaching and learning process. Daily e-learning content is provided in various formats to enhance student engagement and facilitate assessment. Additionally, several ICT initiatives by the MHRD, UGC, and its Inter University Centres (IUCs)—such as the Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) and the Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC)—offer digital platforms accessible to teachers and students. These platforms help expand their learning opportunities. Below is a list of some of these ICT initiatives along with their access links:
EBSCO is the leading provider of research databases, e-journal and e-package subscription management, book collection development and acquisition management, and a major provider of library technology, e-books and clinical decision solutions for universities, colleges, hospitals, corporations, government, K12 schools and public libraries worldwide. The institution has taken the subscription of the same for the students.

Visit VidwanA research paper is a special publication written by scientists to be read by other researchers. Papers are primary sources necessary for research – for example, they contain detailed description of new results and experiments. At this time the widest possible distribution of research papers, as well as of other scientific or educational sources, is artificially restricted by copyright laws. Such laws effectively slow down the development of science in human society. The Sci-Hub project, running from 5th September 2011, is challenging the status quo. At the moment, Sci-Hub provides access to hundreds of thousands research papers every day, effectively bypassing any paywalls and restrictions.
