Drshya Siksha Sangrah (DSS)

With a view to develop e-content learning resources for students studying engineering, MLRITM has introduced a digital learning initiative through its YouTube Channel – @mlritm2009.

This platform provides an integrated system to launch and manage online (web-based) courses, leveraging Drshya Siksha Sangrah (DSS). MLRITM’s YouTube channel hosts 500+ high-quality video lectures created by distinguished faculty across 35+ subject areas, offering free access to a vast collection of educational resources.

Students can easily explore these videos, enroll online, and begin learning completely free of cost. The initiative also includes skill development, enhancement, and employability-focused courses, ensuring every student benefits from the MLRITM e-learning ecosystem.
