CISCO Networking Academy
The Division of Computer Science and Engineering had signed MoU with CISCO Systems, Bangalore on 5-11-2007. The CISCO centre of excellence on Advanced Networking available in the division provides world class networking infrastructure. The faculty members have been constantly trained by CISCO Networking Academy, to offer the latest industry relevant networking curriculum. The Division is offering the certification course CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) to the students since 2007. The course provides practical hands-on experience to the students on networking concepts during the 110 hours of the course.
As per the CISCO requirements, the CCNA course is divided into following four modules:
- Networking fundamentals
- Routing protocols and concepts
- LAN switching and wireless
- Accessing the WAN
The CISCO Centre of Excellence is equipped with sophisticated CISCO hardware like routers, switches, wireless adapter, cables and PCs to effectively deliver the CISCO CCNA curriculum. Packet tracer software is also installed in computers to simulate the various network configurations and provide a better understanding on the networking concepts. CISCO NetRiders, a National Level competition and various divisional level competitions related to networking are conducted regularly with the equipments available in this laboratory. Once in a year students from rural schools are invited and the equipments in the laboratory are demonstrated to motivate them to pursue their career in the networking domain.
The following equipments are available in the Cisco Centre of Excellence at Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences.
