ITS operates 7 fully equipped computer laboratories with a total of 249 computers. The Central Teaching Computer Labs are fully furnished to provide a conducive environment for lab classes, research, assignments, and projects. The Central Teaching Computer Labs are equipped with excellent audio/visual aids. Besides the computer laboratories, we also manage 115 desktop computers that are located in Building 7 Level 1 and Level 3, Library and Learning Commons, and 6 desktop computers in Building 9 Level 3, ITS Service Desk, exclusively for Internet browsing, assignments, printing and projects.
There are an additional 5 computer labs called the Next Gen Labs located at Building 6B Level 6. One of these labs (Next Gen Lab 4) also has specialized VC equipment for inter-campus teaching.
