Who can join the Drone STEM Lab, and what will they learn?
School and pre-university (PUC) students, engineering students and agri-university students, through tracks designed for each. Everyone learns the basics of Robotics, AI and Aero-physics with kits, sees and feels the effects by flying a drone under supervision, and learns how industry uses each idea. Content is age-appropriate — tell us the grade or semester when you enquire.
Do students get a DGCA licence from these programs?
Our programs prepare students for the DGCA Remote Pilot Certificate journey and log genuine supervised flying hours on type-certified aircraft. The RPC itself is issued through DGCA-approved RPTOs — we structure our syllabus to align with that pathway and can guide students to partner RPTOs when they're ready.
Are you the same team as Malabar Drones?
Dronaksha is the new name and home for Malabar Drones’ DTaaS (Drone Training as a Service), with the same contact numbers. Program codes you may have been quoted earlier (MD-DEMO, MD-WKSHP, MD-SEM, MD-FDP, MD-LAB, MD-EVENT) map one-to-one to the DA- codes on this page.
Do you handle flight permissions on our campus?
Yes. We plan every campus operation around current DGCA rules and the airspace map — zone checks, permissions where required, and our own safety SOPs. Flights happen only where and when they are legal and safe.
Which languages can you teach in?
English, Kannada and Hindi — including mixed-language batches, which is the norm on most Southern Indian campuses.
Can programs run outside Karnataka?
Yes. Our home ground is Karnataka (Bengaluru HQ) — and we travel across Southern India for weekly and monthly engagements. For institutions further afield, see our remote and train-the-trainer options.
Why prepaid only?
Because it protects both sides. Your payment reserves real aircraft, instructors and travel for your dates — and in return, you get a confirmed, committed slot rather than a tentative one. It's the one principle that runs across the entire BeatCruit ecosystem, including Malabar Drones.
