History of ELIM Virtual University

ELIM is an acronym for "Experiential Learning by Innovative Methodologies". This University was started on September 28th 2013 by Prof. Joseph Harindranath, Founder- Chairman, in collaboration with Mr. Shital Singh, Director, Media Head Radio Dhoom (104.8 FM) with a noble cause to impart Quality Experiential Learning by implementing Innovative Methodologies in the existing Teaching – Learning Process and introduce the concept of Skills Development Training in the Engineering Colleges/Institutions/Universities in India. On successful implementation of such quality training, the student will acquire the employability skills required by the industry and be groomed as a job ready Engineering Graduate. ELIM Virtual University is committed to imparting Quality Student centred Experiential Learning by inculcating in the student the quality indicators such as attitude, creative problem solving ability, knowledge and skills which form the essential components of competency. We follow the outcome based education standards of the esteemed accreditation boards such as ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).

We have formed a broad mission to take the concept of Quality Experiential Learning by Innovative Methodologies (ELIM) to the Engineering  and Technological Institutions in India in order to enhance the knowledge and employability skills of the students thereby providing excellent career opportunities to the young Engineering Graduates in India and Abroad. ELIM Virtual University also focuses on Quality fine tuned Research and Development leading to project funding and patents.

Renowned corporate core companies such as Siemens Ltd, Schneider Electric, ASEA Brown Boveri, Dresser Rand Inc., Flextronics are among the various companies with which ELIM Virtual University will coordinate to provide a solid platform for Industrial Training for Faculty and Students.

STUDENTS-EMPLOYERS INTERACTIVE ATTRIBUTES:

ELIM Virtual University believes that our students need to work on five areas that employers value: Communication Skills, Creative Problem-Solving Ability, Resourcefulness, Curiosity and Professionalism. These attributes will be inculcated in the minds of the students’ right from their entry into the Engineering Colleges to enable them to think from a broad perspective.  A special forum for Institution-Industry Interaction will be set up in the selected Engineering Colleges, if it does not already exist.

SELF BENCHMARKING (CORE VALUES):

The core of education is discipline and all other values of education are built around it. As an effort to develop these core values, separate Counseling Centers will be set up for boys and girls to address their grievances and personal problems. These Counseling Centers will be effective round the clock to handle emergency situations in the Hostels.  Self benchmarking is the process of setting up standards and norms of high quality for self assessment and evaluation which will contribute to the growth of individuals. A stringent self appraisal or review will be conducted for each trainee/employee at the end of every three months of the tenure of service. Self benchmarking will also be applied to the students undergoing skills development training in the selected Institutions. We are committed to follow the best practices that are being followed in every reputed organization. The set of norms, code of practice, rules and regulations of quality self benchmarking will be available in the self  benchmarking manual, is  under preparation and will be published shortly.

Our online courses are based on LMS (Learning Management Systems) which are SCORM (Shareable Content Object Reference Model) compliant.
