21st Century ICT Lab Setup for Schools

An ICT Lab (Information and Communication Technology Lab) is a dedicated space in schools equipped with digital devices such as desktops, tablets, or Chromebooks to facilitate personalized and technology-enabled learning for students.

ICT Labs support personalized and individualized learning, offering students access to curriculum mapped digital educational content, interactive learning resources, and adaptive assessments. These labs enhance students’ engagement and improve learning outcomes.

As per the revised ICT Policy by the Ministry of Education, schools can choose from two options:
- Desktop-Based ICT Labs
- Tablet/Chromebook/Notebook Based Smart ICT Labs

Our ICT Lab is a storage and charging rack that can accommodate 5 to 45, or more devices, including tablets, Chromebooks, notebooks, or laptops and can also be customized based on your need and budget.

Yes, once all the material is dispatched, our training team visits the school on a given date to set up a ICT Lab and for experiential training of teachers and students to use Learning Management System on the Desktop/Tablet/Notebook/Chromebook. The training may take 2 or 3 days per school depending on the number of students.

ICT Labs can include:
- Curriculum-aligned educational content
- Adaptive learning modules for personalized progress
- Interactive simulations and animations
- Book Library
- Skill-based and beyond-academic learning resources

Yes, the content is customized for the state board as per the implementation requirements. So far, we have implemented Tablet/Notebook based ICT Labs as per the State board syllabus of J&K, HP, Haryana, UP, Uttarakhand, Chattisgarh, MP, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Orissa, Meghalaya, Delhi, Rajasthan, West Bengal and can further customize it as per any State board syllabus and CBSE.

- To make learning interesting and engaging, iPrep LMS enables rich & comprehensive learning content including animated lessons, practice questions, notes, syllabus books, practical lab videos for subject wise learning.
- Beyond academic subjects, iPrep's holistic content also includes extracurricular learning material such as sports, digital literacy, financial literacy, yoga, and more such content for holistic learning.
- Content also includes activity based videos, simulations for hands-on learning that connects them to everyday life.
- All the content is in Hindi, English, and other regional languages for Kindergarten to 12th.
- All the available content is aligned with CBSE and all major state board curriculum.

Yes, your students can access ICT Lab offline as the LMS and content are preloaded on devices. This ensures continuous learning without the need for an internet connection.

Existing ICT lab rooms in schools can be modernized by integrating tablets, Primebooks, or Chromebook-like devices. If you aim to utilize the existing infrastructure while enhancing it, you can also install an LMS with preloaded, curriculum-aligned digital content on your current devices, such as desktops.

For greater flexibility and accessibility, ICT Labs can be implemented directly in classrooms using portable storage and charging racks equipped with digital learning devices. These setups allow teachers and students to easily access digital learning tools within the classroom environment, making technology-enabled education more seamless and efficient.

Smart ICT Labs enhances classrooms by making digital learning seamless and effective. Here’s how:
- Better Engagement & Learning Outcomes - Teachers can track personalized learning data for every student, improving lesson effectiveness.
- Easy to Set Up & Manage – Teachers can comfortably manage and distribute devices among students without hassle.
- Minimal Power Dependency – A single plug charges all devices, providing 7-8 hours of usage—ideal for areas with frequent power cuts.
- No Internet Required – Preloaded content on SD cards or USB drives ensures uninterrupted learning.
- Curriculum-Aligned & Multilingual – Covers K-12 education NCERT/Stateboard aligned digital learning material in local languages, helping teachers to sync up digital content with their lesson plans
- Data-Driven Decision Making – Stakeholders like NGOs and government officials can access student-level usage and take data driven decisions to improve learning outcomes.
- Adaptive & Personalized Learning – Devices powered by PAL LMS in PAL Labs personalizes the learning path for every student and helps them cover their previous year’s learning gaps in an enjoyable and non-judgemental learning space.
- Smart ICT Labs make digital education accessible, efficient, and impactful for schools everywhere!

ICT Labs powered by Personalized Adaptive Learning (PAL) LMS are designed to assess each student’s learning level and create a personalized learning path. By identifying learning gaps, the PAL solution ensures students receive targeted practice and remedial lessons, helping them progress at their own pace toward grade-level proficiency.

When an ICT Lab is powered by PAL LMS, it becomes a PAL Lab, where students can access the PAL app on their individual devices within the lab setup. They begin with a diagnostic test to assess their current understanding. Based on their performance, the LMS automatically creates a personalized learning path, guiding them through adaptive practice questions and remedial video lessons to master each chapter. Students can log out after use, ensuring a personalized learning experience on shared devices.

PAL LMS provides a structured learning approach where students are involved in remedial learning, receive real-time feedback, adaptive exercises, and concept-based video lessons. This ensures that students not only fill in their past learning gaps but also develop a strong foundation in every subject, ultimately helping them achieve grade-level learning outcomes.

Many CSR programs and NGOs in collaboration with EdTech organizations support the establishment of ICT Labs by providing infrastructure, digital content, and teacher training in collaboration with government initiatives.
