iii. Digital Learning Resources:
The college library supports digital learning by providing access to a wide range of e-books, subject-wise PowerPoint presentations, subject-related animations, and other digital learning materials. Students are also provided access to scholarly e-journals and research databases, including IEEE, ScienceDirect, and other SCI/Scopus-indexed resources. These resources enable students to access updated academic and research material beyond conventional textbooks.
- Student Target Enhancement Program (STEP):
The Student Target Enhancement Program (STEP) provides unit-wise learning materials, important concepts, key topics, and examination-oriented resources. These materials help students systematically prepare for internal and university examinations while reinforcing their understanding of the prescribed syllabus.
Overall, these e-resources enhance the accessibility, flexibility, continuity, and effectiveness of the teaching-learning process and encourage students to engage in independent, self-directed, and lifelong learning.
