The Audio Interactive Language Lab:

NMIMS has pioneered the initiative of scientifically assisting students in preparing for Group Discussions or Job Interviews by developing an Audio Interactive Language Lab on the campus. This move is mainly directed towards making the students display the right internal personality driven message to their recruiters during a corporate placement, group discussions or interviews that are lining -up in the campus.

This is how the system functions: The teacher records and makes a master lesson with as many copies possible. The student does all his work on this pre-recorded tape copy. On playing back, the student gets the teacher’s voice followed by his own, giving him an instant comparison of his performance with the model. There are separate audio consoles in which clusters of students are seated in demarcated boxes to conduct the practice sessions. So an original tape with the teacher’s voice, the copies with the student’s voice and the headphones for comparison arrive as the obvious audio instruments to learn the dictums in communication like a song.
