Information-Communication Driven Teaching is a modern-day technique that seeks to provide students with the proper amount of practical experience while also providing them with a good mix of academic knowledge. This not only prepares students for careers in industry or in the corporate sector, but it also provides them with a lifelong learning experience. Brainware University is one of the few universities in the country that has successfully unlocked this teaching style with the goal of providing students with a high-quality learning experience. Subhojyoti Roychowdhury, TIC Multimedia Department at Brainware University, discusses this concept and its applications in-depth with Shiksha.com.
