IIT-Bombay to air lectures from today
January 2nd, 2008
Following is an excerpt from a Times of India report.
For lakhs of aspirants who don’t make it to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), the new year has brought in cheer—this tech school is opening its classrooms beginning Wednesday for engineering colleges across the country.
As reported by TOI on December 8, IIT-Bombay will broadcast its lectures live through Edusat, the satellite which caters exclusively to the educational sector. Students of any engineering institute will now not only have real-time access to IIT-B tutoring, but can also interact with resident faculty at Powai.
On a related note, MIT’s OpenCourseWare has all the educational material from more than 1800 MIT courses online, freely available.
