The difference between labs and virtual labs is that, in ordinary labs we do things in reality, but in virtual labs things are offered virtually in well explained manner through proper channel.. . This can be very much helpful for all categories of students with science and technology background  

Some of the features are: -

1) Students from Remote areas where their is no access to labs can directly benefited from this. Students who study from direct or open mode, who did not attend regular classes can be benefited from this.

2) Needs of various groups of students can be catered, like graduation, post graduation and research students can be directly benefited from this.

3) This is easily accessible and less time consuming. For accessing this what you need is a Internet connection and PC.

4) Students can develop new concepts easily through remote access of this facility.

5) This provide a proper learning environment with proper guidance.
