Personalised Reports, Outputs, & Uploads
As i-Max has a holistic approach to build value in each Mechanical
Engineering student, it generates multiple contextual reports, that
include suggestions, and recommendations. These include:

Personal Recommendations for Mechanical

Engineering Career & Higher Education. Most
students know about a few choices of employment
with Mechanical Engineering. This module offers
over hundred career choices based on his/her
personality - first choice, second choice, core
careers, and the careers they should never opt for.

Personal Recommendations: What is the best way

for You to Learn Mechanical Engineering? Most
students try to imitate the learning style of their friends.
Such approaches prevent students from reaching their
best potential. i-Max psychometric tests ensures
students realise their learning styles for their branch, and
find balance between learning and playing.

Interview Report & Suggestions /

Recommendations - for Each Interview: With
world’s first and only AI-based Interview Simulator for
Mechanical Engineering, students can attempt any
number of realistic interview before the real interview
or their technical viva-voce examinations.

Personal Feedback on Critical Thinking and

Extempore Speaking using the Communication
Simulator: i-Max has world’s first and only
extempore speaking (critical thinking) simulator. It
has the rare feature of capturing the communication
short comings and link them to the lessons.

Personal Placement Passport for Mechanical

Engineering: Institutions can make students
responsible for their own eligibility for campus
placements and the Placement Passport can be
shared with the campus recruiting companies. This
makes the onus of skill building on students, and
make them responsible for their own future.
 Page 7 of 8

Institutional Dashboard: Can be Used for NAAC/NIRF Accreditation

All critical activities on i-max will be monitored, and captured for various purposes.
As an effective tool for placement or for accreditation by multiple agencies.

Benefits, that You Won’t Find Elsewhere!

As i-Max is founded on advanced learning theories and the latest
technologies with the future in mind, it offers stunning benefits.

The cognitive learning experience that online or real classrooms can’t provide - wherever
your institution is located: i-Max modules can’t be replicated online and are not affordable to conduct
In classrooms.

Real value for money. Financial savings for many years: i-Max is available with No
recurring costs irrespective of the number of students, number of attempts & the number of
branches of engineering.

Higher placements & happy, proud alumni network: i-Max dissimilates the kind of
knowledge that is not practically available for professional colleges.

Raising the quality & reputation bar: i-Max is based on latest learning theories &
frameworks. Usage of this increases the quality of not only the students but also the faculty.

Students feel the accountability & undertakes the onus of learning: Students realise the
need of active preparations using many other sources. They engage more in learning.

Teachers’ efforts become more visible, & understood. Teachers command more respect:
i-Max activities are archived, and comments & feedbacks are accounted.

Teachers can plan activities better and execute the plans: As the participation &
engagement of the students improve, classes become more productive and efficient.
Bloom’s Taxonomy for Generative AI era - for Mechanical Engineering: Build
the cognitive rigor as specified by NEP 2020 and NHEQF Descriptors.
The traditional manner in which subjects taught in Indian engineering institutions are increasingly misaligned
with the unpredictable future ushered in by AI and evolving technologies.
A truly visionary educational institution can make the best use of the autonomy bestowed upon them. They can
prioritise nurturing the critical attributes required for students to progress through Bloom's
Taxonomy's hierarchical levels. By doing so, it ensures that learners are not just prepared but are equipped to
dynamically learn, unlearn, and relearn skills, empowering them to thrive in any situation with resilience and
adaptability.
I-Max supports the efforts of visionary institutions by providing the crucial aspects of futuristic
education - without additional workload on faculty members.
