How the arrangement works
Organises the programme
The department handles registration, scheduling, venue and documentation, and sets the dates around its own academic calendar. Certificates are issued in collaboration with the college, in the format its records require.
Delivers the sessions
We supply the resource person, the session plan and the technical content, and adapt the depth to the participants' current level. Faculty receive materials, code and resources they can take into their own classrooms.
Duration and mode
Set by the department
Length depends on the depth the department wants and the time available in the calendar. Shorter programmes suit an overview of a domain; a full week allows hands-on work and time for participants to build something themselves.
Whichever suits the cohort
Online works well for programmes spanning several departments or open to faculty from other institutions. On campus is better where sessions involve hardware, lab work or close supervision.
Which topics can the FDP cover?
| Domain | What the sessions cover |
|---|---|
| Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning | Foundations, model training and evaluation, deep learning, practical use in coursework and student projects |
| Generative AI & LLMs | How language models work, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic AI, and using these tools responsibly in teaching |
| IoT & Embedded Systems | ESP32 and microcontrollers, sensors, connectivity, cloud dashboards, designing lab exercises around real hardware |
| Cyber Security | Networking and Linux fundamentals, cryptography, ethical hacking, web application security, digital forensics, incident response |
| Full Stack Development | Java and web fundamentals, front-end and back-end, database design with SQL and MySQL |
| Digital Marketing | SEO, analytics and tag management, paid advertising, content strategy, campaign measurement |
The topic and depth are agreed with the department before the programme is scheduled.
What participating faculty receive
Certificate
Issued in collaboration with the host college, in the format the college's own documentation requires.
Session materials
Slides, code, datasets and reference resources, provided so faculty can revisit the content after the programme ends.
Reusable teaching content
Material designed to be taken into participants' own classrooms and lab exercises, not just used during the FDP.
What the college provides
For an on-campus FDP: a computer lab or seminar hall with internet access, and a projector or display.
For hands-on IoT sessions, hardware kits can be supplied by MRL Tech Solutions or arranged by the college. For online delivery, the college hosts the meeting platform and shares access with participants.
