CLIA Lab

Sandhan (Indian language Search Engine) is a mission mode project funded by TDIL, Ministry of Communication & Information Technology, Government of India. Its main objective is to develop a mono lingual search system for tourism domain in nine Indian languages viz., Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Oriya, Assamese & Gujurati. It is a consortium mode project consists of various institutes like: IIT Bombay(Consortium Leader), AU KBC Chennai, AUCE G Chennai, CDAC Pune, CDAC Noida, DAIICT Gandhinagar, Gauhati University, IIIT Bhubaneswar, IIIT Hyderabad, IIT Kharagpur, ISI Kolkata, Jadavpur University. The Sandhan system for five Indian Languages viz: Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil & Telugu is already hosted in the TDIL server for public use and other language will be hosted soon. The system will enable searching Indian lanuguage content and thus address the gap that exists in fulfilling the information need of the huge Indian population not conversant with English- estimated at 10% of the population. The segments expected to be benefited are tourism sector, students and even business sectors.

Virtual Instrumentation Lab

Mobile Computing Lab

The institute has a laboratory for Mobile Computing which consists of ten Apple iMac desktops.

Characterization Lab

The proposed characterization lab would be the first of its kind in the eastern region of the nation. The laboratory will provide facility for chip testing. Although the chip designing has reached an appreciable stage in the State, the chip testing facility is not available. Now the chip designers have to tie up with IT companies having such facilities in Silicon Valley of the United States of America. The characterization laboratory will also provide a common facility to local IT entrepreneurs, students and research scholars as well, and such a facility will attract more IT investors to the State.
