Virtual TourAcademic Alliances
Launched by Infosys in May 2004, CC is a unique academia-industry initiative to “architect the education experienceâ€.
The goal is to build a sustainable partnership with engineering education institutions in India and abroad for mutual benefit; producing “industry ready†recruits.
Main objective in launching the CC programme is to enhance the quality and quantity of the IT talent-pool; sustain the growth of the IT industry itself. Instead of focussing on increasing the number of engineering colleges, or the number of graduates the intention is to focus on increasing the employability of students.
As per predictions, by the year 2040, Asia, especially the Indian subcontinent will have the maximum number of working professionals in the world! Doesn’t this throw up huge possibilities? Clearly we have a plethora of opportunities staring us in the face. The future looks bright and promising…all we need to do is work towards it.
Currently Infosys has more than 300 engineering colleges under their wing, and the numbers are growing steadily.
IPEC is an integral part of this programme since 2006. Since then hundreds of students have benefited from this program and were placed in good companies like Infosys, HCL, IBM, TCS etc. Faculties from the institute have participated in various FDP and technical events at Infosys and won accolades.

Spoken Tutorial is an initiative by the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) launched by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development (MHRD), Government of India and is being developed by IIT Bombay. It is an audio-video tutorial tool that helps you learn and use Open Source Software (OSS ). The working of a software is explained by an expert, by its demonstrations on the screen aided by running commentary. A movie of both these audio and video activities is made by a screen cast software, and this movie is called the Spoken Tutorial.
The essence of Spoken Tutorial is such that, it is the recording of the actual session because it captures every step required to elaborate an activity. This makes it a comprehensive solution to document and explain a software or any computer-based activity. The objective of launching and using Spoken Tutorial in Inderprastha Engineering College is to spread the knowledge of technology and Free Open Source Software (FOSS) to learn any software useful in engineering curriculum.
Spoken Tutorial helps the students to:
- Learn any software, all by yourself or during the lab sessions.
- Workshops are also being conducted to get acquainted with the open source software and technologies.
- To get expertise in a particular FOSS using audio-video tutorials.
- To use the FOSS in their projects and summer Training.
Department of IT, IPEC also conducted workshop as a part of spoken tutorial project in different domains based on open source computer technologies and languages as part of summer training in July 2016 . Department of IT, IPE also conducting various Online Tests of Basic C programming, Python, PHP, Java in October 2016.
The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), a project funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), provides e-learning through on line Web and Video courses in Engineering, Sciences, Technology, Management and Humanities. This is a joint initiative by seven IITs and IISc Bangalore. Other selected premier institutions also act as Associate Partner Institutions.
NPTEL provides free on line course ware in the form of web courses and video lectures. These lectures utilize a multitude of facilities of the video medium such as chalk-and-talk, tablet writing, power point, two and three dimensional animations, interactive codes, etc. Each course comprises approximately 40 video lectures of about 1 hour duration.
