About

The AICTE IDEA Lab (Idea Development, Evaluation & Application Lab) is an initiative launched by the All-India Council for Technical Education. It aims to foster innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship, and hands-on learning in engineering education. KLNCE- AICTE IDEA Lab encourage the students develop their ideas into prototype working models, enhance their skills and all-round career growth and interdisciplinary project development.

Key Objectives

Convert ideas into prototypes: Facilities are provided under one roof for transforming concepts into working prototypes
Enhance 21st-Century Skills: Emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, design thinking, communication, and lifelong learning
Promote multidisciplinary engagement: Encourages students and faculty from various departments to work together and partner with nearby colleges, schools, and industries
Support NEP 2020 & national missions: Aids in realizing the vision of the National Education Policy 2020, Digital India, and Atma Nirbhar Bharat .

Outcomes

The AICTE IDEA Lab initiative is transforming engineering education through:
Hands-on, interdisciplinary learning beyond textbooks
Prototype-driven innovation with modern fabrication tools
Skill building: problem-solving, design thinking, collaboration
Pathways to entrepreneurship and IP creation
