A new chapter in Bihar’s technology education story was written on 24th March 2026.
On this historic day, CCDTE — Centre of Digital Technology and Entrepreneurship, Patna proudly inaugurated its eYantra Lab — bringing the power, prestige and innovation philosophy of IIT Bombay’s world-renowned eYantra initiative directly to the heart of Bihar.
This is not just a new lab. This is a statement — that Bihar’s students deserve access to the very best in technology education, innovation infrastructure and hands-on learning. And at CCDTE, that belief has now been turned into a living, breathing reality.
A Historic Moment for Bihar’s Education Landscape
The inauguration of the eYantra Lab at CCDTE on 24th March 2026 marks a watershed moment for technology education in Bihar.

Why the eYantra Lab Changes Everything for CCDTE Students
Direct Access to IIT Bombay’s Innovation Ecosystem The eYantra Lab gives CCDTE students a direct connection to one of India’s most prestigious technology institutions — IIT Bombay. The methodologies, tools and curriculum frameworks used in the lab are developed and endorsed by IIT Bombay — bringing world-class academic rigour directly to Patna.
Hands-On Learning From Day One The eYantra philosophy is rooted in learning by doing. Students do not just study robotics and IoT theory — they build robots, program embedded systems, develop IoT devices and solve real engineering challenges using professional-grade tools and hardware from their very first interaction with the lab.
Industry-Relevant Skills Robotics, IoT, embedded systems and AI-driven automation are among the fastest growing and most in-demand technology domains in the world today. The eYantra Lab equips CCDTE students with the precise skills that top technology companies, research institutions and startups are actively seeking.
A Platform for Innovation and Entrepreneurship The eYantra Lab is not just a learning facility — it is a launchpad. Students with innovative ideas can use the lab to prototype, test and develop their concepts — supported by CCDTE’s dedicated startup incubation cell and the mentoring framework of the eYantra programme itself.
Bihar’s First and Only eYantra Lab The eYantra Lab at CCDTE is a first for Bihar — making CCDTE the only institution in the state to offer students direct access to IIT Bombay’s eYantra innovation programme. This is a distinction that sets CCDTE apart from every other college in Bihar — and places it firmly on the national map of technology education excellence.
A Vision Realised
The establishment of the eYantra Lab at CCDTE is the result of a deeply held conviction — that geography should never be a barrier to excellence. Bihar’s students are as talented, as ambitious and as deserving of world-class opportunities as students anywhere else in India.
The eYantra Lab is CCDTE’s commitment to making that belief a permanent and tangible reality.
From this day forward, every CCDTE student who walks through the doors of the eYantra Lab walks into a space where the boundaries between learning and innovation, between campus and industry, between Bihar and the best institutions in India simply do not exist.
