Probability in Practice (PiP) Project is an interesting Additive Curriculum project launched by Dr. Achintya Roy, which centres on the study of Probability and Random Processes. Students are required to gather information on their daily schedules, which encompass a variety of factors such as sleep patterns, study schedules, social media usage, and more and utilise this data to gain insights. This information is then analysed within their coursework to examine its impact on academic performance .

The project aims to integrate probability analysis into project management, helping students make informed decisions, assess risks, and optimise resource allocation, thereby applying probability concepts to improve time management and decision-making in everyday life.

The Learners' Premier League (LPL) at NIIT University is a two-month, multidisciplinary Project-Based Learning (PBL) initiative that enhances students' experiential learning through real-world problem-solving. 

The program integrates five key disciplines: Chemistry, Physics, Electronics, Communication Skills, and Business Environment. Student teams take on industry-relevant roles, tackling diverse topics such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, agriculture, fashion, and AR/VR. Under the guidance of faculty, buddy mentors, and associate mentors, teams identify real-world problems within these domains and develop practical solutions. 

Project progress is tracked using industry-standard tools like Asana, providing students with hands-on experience in project management. A panel of professors, including Prof. Deepak Khanna , Dr. Ajay Kumar Singh, Dr. Vinay Sharma,  Dr. Anshima P. Srivastava, Dr. Jetendra Joshi and Dr. Abdul S. Sheik, oversee the project and conduct evaluations. 

After the final assessments, top-performing teams are shortlisted for the LPL Finale, where they compete across several rounds, culminating in the selection of the LPL champion, who is awarded the LPL Trophy.

ET 401  conducted by Dr. Jetendra Joshi, Dr. Ratika Kaushik and Prof. Gautham More is a unique course that gives NUtons the flexibility to design their own curriculum around their interests and career goals. With no classes to attend, they work on five projects in PBL mode, learning through hands-on experience.

• Project 1: Continue with their Sem 4/5 project to fulfill all required outcomes: This involves adding features or functionality, refining the code, fixing bugs or errors, or completing any remaining functionality.

• Project 2: Become a project Mentor and help a team achieve their goals: Guide 1st and 2nd year students in collaborative projects. Share their knowledge and expertise to help them succeed.

• Project 3: Demonstrate self-directed learning skills: Create a narrative around a topic of interest that demonstrates their self-directed learning skills. 

• Project 4: Build your CV for Industry: Identify a role they aspire for in the industry and the skills that are required. Create a plan to develop those skills and work towards their career goal.

• Project 5: Through Digital storytelling, highlight their growth as a learner: Compile key takeaways from the above 4 projects and create a digital story that leverages technology.

Each project is worth 20 marks, and NUtons have the flexibility to manage their time and workload across all five projects. This means they can tailor their learning experience to their individual needs and goals. Details of the project requirements are attached below.
