The Challenge
The Problem
Traditional labs suffered from limited equipment capacity, 4-hour average wait times for experiments, and safety concerns with high-voltage EV components. Students could only access labs during scheduled hours (8 hours/week), leading to incomplete learning and poor practical outcomes.
Business Context
240 students across 4 EV-focused elective batches, only 2 physical labs with 10 workstations each, severe scheduling conflicts between batches, and mounting pressure to improve CDS scores (quality metric) for NIRF rankings.
Constraints
- 1Budget cap: ₹20 lakhs for infrastructure improvement
- 2Timeline: One semester (4 months) to show measurable improvement
- 3No additional faculty hiring allowed due to budget constraints
- 4Cannot disrupt ongoing curriculum or existing lab schedules
- 5Must integrate with existing Moodle LMS for attendance tracking
The Solution
What We Deployed
Reynlab Virtual Labs platform with 2 specialized modules: (1) EV Powertrain Simulation - motor control, power electronics, thermal management; (2) Battery Management Systems - cell balancing, SOC estimation, fault diagnostics. Total 18 experiments covering full EV systems.
Integration Approach
Seamless Moodle LMS integration via LTI 1.3 protocol for single sign-on, automatic grade sync, and attendance tracking. Students accessed labs 24/7 from any device (laptop, tablet, desktop) with browser-based interface - no software installation required.
Who Used It
240 students from 4 batches: EV Design Fundamentals (60), Advanced Powertrain (80), Battery Technology (50), EV Safety & Testing (50). Faculty used instructor dashboard for real-time progress monitoring and concept-specific analytics.
Operational Changes
Blended learning model: 40% virtual labs (pre-lab simulations, concept exploration, repeated practice) + 60% physical labs (hands-on validation, team projects, advanced experiments). Physical labs freed up for complex experiments requiring actual hardware.
The Outcomes
Student Engagement
40% increase in lab hours completed per student
Wait Time Eliminated
From 4 hours average to 0 hours (instant access)
Placement Rate
92% placed in EV/automotive roles (vs 68% previous year)
Experiment Completion
96% students completed all 18 experiments (vs 62% with physical-only)
Faculty Satisfaction
4.6/5 rating for ease of use and student progress tracking
Cost Efficiency
₹18.5 lakhs total (under budget), ₹770/student for unlimited access
"The Virtual Labs platform transformed how our students learn EV technology. They can now experiment freely, make mistakes safely, and repeat complex scenarios until they master concepts. The CDS score improvement exceeded our expectations, and placement outcomes speak for themselves - 92% of our EV students landed roles at top automotive companies."
