About Government Mahila Engineering College, Ajmer
Govt. Mahila Engineering College, Ajmer, holds the privilege of being the first government engineering college in North India for women. The then Hon’ble Chief Minister of the state laid the foundation stone of this college on 30th April 2007. This college offers B.Tech., M.Tech., and MCA courses for an intake of 500 students every year. The college is located on NH-79 and is easily accessible by rail and road. The nearest airport is situated in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
This Faculty Development Program (FDP) is designed to introduce participants to the foundations, technologies, and real-world applications of quantum computing. The program will focus on both theoretical aspects and hands-on implementation using practical quantum programming frameworks. Participants will gain insights into key quantum algorithms, quantum machine learning, and emerging trends in quantum technologies. The sessions will be conducted entirely in offline mode by experts from IITs, NITs, premier research institutes, and industry professionals working in the field of quantum computing.

What is IYQ?
The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) is a global initiative proclaimed by the United Nations on June 7, 2024, to mark 100 years of quantum mechanics.
Throughout 2025, countries, institutions, and individuals worldwide will celebrate the impact of quantum science—past, present, and future. The aim is to raise awareness of quantum research and its applications through events, educational activities, and public engagement.
Anyone, anywhere can be part of IYQ—by learning more about quantum, joining or organizing an event, or simply spreading awareness of how this revolutionary science shapes our world.
