Education

                 Classroom teaching and printed paper books were the only modes of education before the advent of IT. The
                 application of IT tools has improved the quality of presentation and reach of education. It has enabled access
                 to wide knowledge at instant demand, covering larger masses with interesting features and has promoted the
                 concept of CA  (Computer Aided  earning). With this many schools and institutes have turned to digitalization
                 and smart learning.
                    e inar- ased distance learning: It is a mode of providing professional or career-oriented training in
                   which contents are delivered to seminars located at different places by a trainer from a remote location
                   on the web. These presentations and lectures are broadcasted over the internet and can be accessed by
                   registered users through dedicated video conferencing software.
                   Digital Classrooms: It is the process of applying multimedia tools in classroom teaching that includes the
                   display of animated contents (that are delivered by a local server) with an interactive whiteboard on which
                   the contents are written with an I-pen which is copied by a sensor that can be used by the students as
                   notes in soft copy.
                   CB   Computer Based  raining : It is also known as courseware. The composed content gets delivered
                   via software installed on the computer.
                    irtual Classroom: It is an online learning environment where contents are delivered through a portal or
                   software which can be conveniently accessed any time and from any place by registered students pursuing
                   academic courses.

                    nline admission and Counselling:  owadays, computers enable the students to fill up the admission forms
                   online, check their names in the admission list, pay the admission and course fee and take part in the counselling
                   process online, thereby saving lots of time and money in travelling.
                    nline  E amination:  It  is  a  computer-based  examination  system  (paperless  examination)  that  has
                   completely automated the old manual procedure of conducting exams as the tests are taken on computers
                   online. Examination data can be stored conveniently in very less space and it also takes less time for
                   evaluation.

                 Banking

                 Information Technology facilitated more authentic, secured, paperless and instant banking operations through
                 CBS (Core Banking Solutions). Unlike in the past, the record of transactions (ledger) gets computed instead
                 of being calculated manually. Customer transactions related to deposits, receipts, withdrawals and payments
                 are maintained in the computer itself, which saves lots of paper, filing space and time. It is now possible to do
                 banking transactions online from any place without having to stand in long queues. It also saves our time and
                 can store the payment record digitally.
