Who we work with

One partner, three kinds of institution.

Every offer is built around the decision your institution is facing right now — a lab to set up, a campus to modernise, an accreditation cycle to clear.

Schools (K-12)

Your board now expects a composite skill lab, AI from Class 3 and a tinkering culture — with the same teachers and the same timetable.

  • AI-BO8 Robotics & AI lab — kits, curriculum, lab design
  • CBSE Composite Skill Lab and ATL-compatible packages
  • 10-hour teacher certification, then ongoing in-house training
  • Tablet classrooms and Microsoft for Schools

Ready for 2026-27?

The mandates are dated. Your plan should be too.

Four regulatory shifts are reshaping what an Indian institution must have on the ground. We map every engagement to them.

CBSE Composite Skill Lab deadline
days left

Every CBSE-affiliated school must have a Composite Skill Lab — one of 600 sq ft for Classes VI–XII, or two of 400 sq ft — by 22 August 2027. New affiliations need it from day one.

NAAC / NBA Accreditation Advisory

We start with a gap analysis against the Quality Indicator Framework, then support the whole cycle — IQAC formation, HEI portal and AISHE alignment, SSR drafting, DVV clarifications and faculty sensitisation — so the institution walks into the binary framework already prepared.

How an engagement runs

From first walkthrough to a lab in use — four steps.

The same sequence whether it is a robotics lab, a campus rollout or an accreditation cycle. Timelines are typical; the proposal fixes yours.

Assess

Site walkthrough or virtual audit, headcount and timetable review, mandate mapping, budget and grant options (ATL, CSR, institutional).

Typically 1–2 weeks

Design

Lab layout or rollout architecture, itemised bill of materials, curriculum plan by grade or semester, teacher-training calendar.

Typically 1–2 weeks

Deploy & train

Installation and commissioning, 10-hour teacher certification, first student cohorts run with our trainers in the room.

Typically 2–4 weeks

Support

In-house training visits, curriculum updates as mandates change, competition and project mentoring, warranty and AMC.

Questions institutions ask first

Frequently asked questions

Does an AI-BO8 lab satisfy the CBSE Composite Skill Lab requirement?

Yes. The Composite Skill Lab circular lists AI/ML, robotics, coding, IoT, 3D printing, drones and design thinking among the domains a lab must cover. AI-BO8 is scoped to those domains and we design the room to the 600 sq ft (or 2 × 400 sq ft) specification, with the equipment list documented for inspection.

Can the lab be funded through the Atal Tinkering Lab grant?

Schools selected under AIM receive ₹20 lakh — ₹10 lakh for establishment and ₹10 lakh operational over up to five years. We supply ATL-compatible packages that follow the AIM vendor guidelines (installation and training included, warranty, consumables supply). Cloud Education is an independent vendor; NITI Aayog does not empanel or endorse vendors, and we do not use ATL branding.

How is your training different from free programmes like AICTE virtual internships?

Free platforms deliver content at scale. Our Centres of Excellence deliver outcomes: instructor-led labs on live AWS and Microsoft accounts, projects with partner companies that count towards AICTE internship hours, certification preparation, and career services. Institutions use them where placement results matter, not just completion certificates.

What does the NAAC advisory cover under the new binary framework?

A criterion-wise gap analysis against the Quality Indicator Framework, IQAC formation or restructuring, HEI portal and AISHE alignment, data-capture protocols, SSR drafting, DVV clarifications, faculty sensitisation and a mock peer-team visit. We advise on both the binary stage and the Maturity-Based Graded Levels that follow it.

How long does a typical lab installation take?

From signed proposal to first student session, most school labs are live within four to six weeks: one to two weeks for site assessment and design, and two to four weeks for delivery, installation and the initial 10-hour teacher certification. Campus-wide Microsoft rollouts typically run six to eight weeks depending on user count.

Do you also help individuals with jobs or training in Germany?

Yes, through our separate Global Careers programme, which covers Ausbildung (vocational training) and nursing pathways in Germany for individual candidates. It has its own team, process and disclosures and is not part of our institutional services. Details are on the Global Careers section linked in the footer.
