These labs will train students in immersive technologies and assist them in securing placements with leading Indian and multinational companies.

Director of SITAM Dr Majji Sashibhushana Rao highlighted the increasing demand for AR and VR expertise across various sectors, including marketing, e-commerce, tourism, manufacturing, education, pharmaceuticals, engineering, and medical research.

Trained and skilled professionals in immersive technologies are in high demand but remain scarce in the Indian job market.
