The AICTE AVPL/IDEA Lab Zone at Parul University
The AICTE AVPL/IDEA Lab Zone at Parul University is the experiential learning environment supported by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). The zone is structured for hands-on prototyping and project-based learning, with students working through a complete design-build-evaluate cycle.
- Drone training areas: RPTO (Remote Pilot Training Operations) curriculum, drone components and assembly, indoor and outdoor flight training, battery technology.
- Fabrication centres: industrial 3D printers including Bambu Lab H2S and Prusa Original XL, the Adaxis industrial pellet-feed system, the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K resin printer, the SIL 1325 CNC Router, the SIL Accu-Cut 1212 CO2 laser cutter, Proxxon PD 400 lathe with PF 230 milling attachment.
- Material synthesis labs: preparation of polymers, composites, and engineering materials for use in fabrication and research projects.
- Teamwork spaces: collaborative project areas where students from multiple disciplines converge on shared builds.
The B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering track anchors much of the drone training in this zone. India’s Drone Rules 2021 and Production Linked Incentive schemes for drone manufacturing make this one of the highest-growth career corridors in Indian engineering.
