AIAT’s two campuses offer a nurturing and inspiring environment for learning, experimentation, and creativity, which leaves a lasting impression on anyone who visits. The proximity of the campuses—just 1.8 kilometers apart—allows them to complement each other while specializing in different areas of education and training.
At the Irumbai campus, the focus is primarily on academic programs related to Computer Science, and Electronics and Electrical Engineering. This campus emphasizes developing theoretical knowledge and practical skills in these domains. The presence of advanced equipment and resources, including a fibre-optic internet connection, facilitates cutting-edge research and hands-on learning. Students here work on real-world projects, giving them the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in practical scenarios.
In contrast, the Palmyra campus centers around Manufacturing and Production training. This campus fosters a more hands-on, technical approach, equipping students with practical skills in industrial processes. The workshops and labs are designed to simulate real manufacturing environments, preparing students for careers in production-related industries.
AIAT’s labs and workshops are renowned for being not only fully equipped but often exceeding standard requirements. The institution also boasts three computer labs with 60 computers connected to three servers, ensuring that students have access to the latest technology for their studies. With a focus on learning through actual projects, both campuses create an immersive environment where students can develop practical skills and innovative thinking that prepare them for the workforce.
AIAT also benefits from the STEMLAND & C3STREAMLAND DESIGNS facility at the UDAVI campus, located adjacent to Edayanchavadi village. C3STREAMLAND is a commercial unit under Swagatham Trust of Auroville Foundation with the goal of providing rural youth an opportunity to learn, grow, work and teach.
Apart from the above facilities, AIAT also has the advantage of using all Auroville units' facilities and collaborating with all of them.
