The existing students enrolled to science, computer science, life sciences, physics and chemistry and other courses will have the access to computer languages and other computing skills through the Spoken Tutorial.

Speaking on the pact, Mr. Khan stated, “The courses being offered at the Spoken Tutorials have been recognized by the National Assessment and Accredited Council. The courses designed by the IIT-B are most sought after by the industry, including renowned software companies”. Further adding to the statement, he said, “We have trained 1.2 lakh students on various computer languages and computing skills through the Spoken Tutorial, which are completely an open learning source, in Andhra Pradesh in the last six years.
