CIDER is dedicated to providing “State-of-the-Art” Technology for its student. We have two computer Labs adjacent to Library in 2nd floor of C-Block. The labs have altogether 54 IBM-compatible computers, loaded with a variety of class-related software, including Windows 7 with the Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access). Students may use computers for Internet research, course-specific programs for instructional and testing purposes. The labs are served by high-quality laser printers and a scanner.
All the computers in Labs are connected to a High Speed WIFI network. Both the labs contain Multimedia Projector and Interactive White Board that helps the Teachers to demonstrate the practical tasks to the students more interactively. We have a highly technical IT support team on duty to assist with computer hardware, network and software issues and questions.
