Security & Disaster Management

Engineering colleges require a robust framework for safety, security, disaster preparedness, and environmental sustainability. These measures safeguard students, faculty, staff, and infrastructure while promoting a responsible and eco-friendly learning environment. The following are the measures captivating at AITAM campus:

1. CCTV surveillance network across:
   • Entrances/exits
   • Corridors, labs, libraries
   • Hostels, parking zones
   • Perimeter and blind spots
2. Trained security guards with communication devices.
3. Controlled access through ID cards/biometric systems.
