• Sensor-enabled Computer based Training System

The Technology Support Group (TSG) filed a patent for Build My Application (BMA) and Software Engineering Tools (SETS), the world’s first, evolutionary full life-cycle software application delivery over the net. SETS, when used concurrently with system analysis and design, can help the analyst have most of the application up and running by the end of the design phase.

TSG has also created a unique process automation suite of tools to track process data and reviews, and provide visibility to end customers on delivery processes, all over the net. This system has the following components:
• Promon–A Project Monitoring package
• RRS-A Web-based Remote Review System
• NetCARE–A Web-based Customer Information System

NIIT and Society
Whether it is helping financially challenged students realize the dream of an IT career, taking illiterate slum children through an exciting ride over the information superhighway, or bringing the light of computer education into the lives of the blind, NIIT is the force behind these thoughtful, sensitive initiatives. These moves have not only touched and transformed the lives of individuals, they are also, in a quiet and revolutionary way, converting India into an IT aware, IT savvy nation. In the present day and age, when computerization and automation are helping nations build a competitive edge, NIIT’s strategic role in spreading the spirit of IT and making it a countrywide phenomenon, are significant.

Take the instance of the World Computer Literacy Day (WCLD) celebrated on December 2 every year, has helped lakhs of people cross the digital divide. For the first time in the history of the country a training program actually cut across barriers of caste, creed, economic and social disparity, mobilizing Indians across the country to gain IT literacy.

The hugely popular Bhavishya Jyoti Annual Scholarships, instituted thirteen years ago, have extended world-class career education opportunities to meritorious students and also to those who cannot afford it.
