STATE OF THE ART INFRASTRUCTURE & 24/7 LABS
We strive to create an intellectual instructional environment that will help our students carry out their educational courses and master their training. To effectively support learning, computing labs remain accessible 24*7 to all our students in all our training centres.
At the beginning of the course, students are assigned a workstation and the machine is designated to them till the end of their learning programme. This allows our students full accessibility to learning anytime they want. Students can review, analyse and revise on the specific skills they have acquired during their learning sessions. This critical factor enriches the overall learning experience of the learner.
Lab Assistants
In order to assist the students with computer problems, network and basic questions, lab assistants are present in all labs. However, they do not assist the students with assignment completion or programming logic.
Lab Reservations
Machines could be reserved by instructors for scheduled classes, conferences, demonstrations or other group activities. During such class sessions, those machines are closed to other users.
Policies and Procedures
- RPS is committed to all legal norms in the area of software usage, licenses, copyright statuses and commercial documentation.
- Students and staff are requested to treat the access to computing environment at RPS with mutual respect and responsibility.
- Food and Drinks are not allowed inside the labs as residues from them affect the keyboard/mouse components. Students and users are required to avoid creating such undesirable working conditions.
