HANDS-ON LEARNING

NIST believes in motivating the students to carry out hands-on training along with regular class room coaching. Studies show that students learn best when the process is active, when they are engaged in hands-on classroom games and activities, and involved in what they are learning.

Hands-on activities rekindle a love of learning and connect abstract concepts to the world -- while achieving desired educational outcomes. Hands-on instruction has a long and successful legacy in the sciences and mathematics.

 
 

RESEARCH AND INNOVATION

A NISTian research group is a well-knit thinking micro-community obsessed with a specialization. The underlying philosophy being ten thinking heads are better than one. Research and development plays a critical role in the innovation process. It's essentially an investment in technology and future capabilities which is transformed into new products, processes, and services.

In industry and technology sectors, R&D is a crucial component of innovation and a key factor in developing new competitive advantages. NIST has several groups across all fields devoting themselves to research and bringing out innovative ideas.

 
 

SPORTS AND CULTURE

At NIST, we recognize the central role of education, sports and culture in its vision for the social and economic development. Education in the 21st century increasingly recognizes the role of values and social skills in tackling global challenges such as inactivity, obesity, unemployment, and conflict.

Sports can teach values such as fairness, team-building, equality, discipline, inclusion, perseverance, and respect. Sports has the power to provide a universal framework for learning values, thus contributing to the development of soft skills needed for responsible citizenship.
