Infrastructural Enhancement

The Centre for Information Technology (CIT) at Lady Doak College was established in 1993 with 512 kbps bandwidth. Over the years, it has transformed into a cutting-edge technological hub, featuring a three-tiered architecture connected with blade servers, L2 switches, and core switches. This infrastructure is protected by firewalls and uses single-mode fiber optics for routing.

Currently, the CIT offers a 200 Mbps high-speed leased line throughout the campus via secured fiber optic connections. Over 50% of computers use open-source software like JAVA, C, C++, Python, Scilab, Gimp, and others. Our cloud-based solutions provide access from admission to exit, handling attendance, e-assessments, exams, and more. The college continues to enhance its automation, creating a fully integrated database for academic and administrative management.

CIT Terminal Lab Hub

Computing and Network Facility

The desktop computers in labs have been upgraded with the latest configurations. Authentication via LDAP is implemented for desktops. Labs have been equipped to support advanced software like Matlab, Adobe, Scilab, AI, AWS, Python, and more. To save power, desktops in labs are configured for automatic shutdown and restrictions.

Fibre optic cables run throughout the campus, including residential areas, women’s studies center, and libraries. Centralized UPS systems for switches are installed in key academic areas, ensuring uninterrupted access to Wi-Fi. Only MAC-authenticated users can access the high-speed internet, and there are 145 access points installed for secure, high-speed connectivity throughout the campus.

ICT Enabled Teaching

The LDC CIT has embraced technological advancements in education by providing students with access to open-source Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle and Google Classroom. The college’s domain, ldc.edu.in, offers institutional email IDs for all members, facilitating seamless communication.

With the help of Moodle, students stay connected with teachers and peers, even when not physically present. The LMS allows easy access to learning materials, facilitates e-learning, and provides a platform for submitting assignments and quizzes. Mobile apps further support continuous learning, allowing students to engage with course content anytime, anywhere.

Biometrics

Our biometric system ensures secure access and attendance management for faculty and non-teaching staff. Using face recognition and fingerprint authentication, the system prevents manipulation and ensures accurate payroll processing, fully integrated with employee attendance data.

CCTV Surveillance

To ensure the safety and security of our campus, 215 CCTV cameras have been installed around the premises for 24/7 surveillance. CIT efficiently manages footage backups and surveillance systems to resolve any security issues promptly.
