Introduction
As part of the Experiential Based Learning (EBL) initiative under the subject Optical Fiber and Communication (OFC) (Subject Code: ECT413), the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering organized an industrial visit to the BSNL Office, Kollam on 15 October 2025.The main purpose of this visit was to provide students with practical exposure to optical fiber communication systems and understand their real-world applications in the field of telecommunication. Through this visit, students were able to observe how theoretical concepts such as optical transmission, attenuation, and multiplexing are implemented in live communication networks. The visit aimed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and field experience, enhancing the students’ technical knowledge, analytical skills, and overall understanding of optical fiber networks. It served as an opportunity to connect academic concepts with industrial practices, thus promoting experiential learning and professional growth among students.
