Students at Parul University are building technology that works in practice, along with lectures and daily life at the university. These are not vague projects that are forgotten after submission, but real, functional models built from scratch, tested in labs and showcased at events like Projections. The projects may not always be flawless, but they are authentic. 

AI: From Class Notes to Code

Artificial Intelligence at Parul University is simple. Classrooms are digitally supported by AI-powered tools to track progress, personalised learning and also provide add-on study materials. 

At the University labs, AI comes alive through hands-on projects. Students develop models and test to learn how data influences AI response. The trial and error helps to learn more about AI. At the university's annual technology festival, aspirants reflect on projects, both conceptual understanding and practical effort, regardless of success. 

AR: Small Steps, Big Experiments

In campus labs, students learn how to use AR tools, visualise content, and turn flat ideas into something you can interact with.

Students from the architectural field benefit from the AR application. These tools help students to visualise structure beyond static drawing or paper drawing, or static 3D models. It is very helpful, particularly when trying to learn how a design presents itself outside of paper. Most students start with tools like Unity or ARCore, mess around with the basics, and develop small projects/applications just to see what works. Studnets begin by experimenting with platforms like Unity or ARCore, creating small assignments or projects as part of the learning phase.
