Padmashri Dr. G. D. Yadav, Director, Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai inaugurated Integrated Automation Lab on 2 March 2016.

I am one of the members of the second batch and my experience was extremely good. I am from electronics engineering with little information about Instrumentation, Pneumatics and PLC etc. But I was very comfortable as faculty was very considerate and patience enough to solve basic doubts which was very helpful since I was not from the field. Teaching experience was very much industry oriented and the content of the course was very much up–to date. Knowledge I gained from this course increased my confidence and helped me in development and testing of my Semi-Autonomous Pipeline Exploration Robot (SAPER). Our team was Runner-up in NIYANTRA 2016. Thanks for the guidance and support given by VESIT-AIA faculties. I would definitely recommend this course for my juniors.
