Frequently Asked Questions
What is a STEM Lab?
A dedicated, equipped space where students run science experiments, build engineering models, apply mathematics hands-on, and code turning classroom theory into working projects.
Who funds and monitors the lab?
Setup is funded through the school's grant allocation and procured via GeM; usage and outcomes are tracked by the nominated in-charge teacher each term.
What is the minimum space and infrastructure required?
A dedicated room of 1000–1200 sq ft with stable electrical points, water access for experiments and workbench seating for at least one class section.
Is it aligned with PM SHRI and NEP norms?
Yes the equipment list, curriculum progression and space guidelines are mapped directly to PM SHRI infrastructure norms and NEP 2020's experiential and integrated STEM learning mandate.
