 Good morning. Good morning sir. It will begin by introducing our team first and then we'll have a round of introductions for all of you. I'm Deepak Fartan. I'm a teacher here since 1971 and I run the National Mission Projects on training 10,000 teachers as well as the massive open online courses. My colleague, Professor Abhinav Chowdeh, also an alumnus of this institute, we are content for which we were students together. And I was a teacher, he was a student. He spent his lifetime in Tana Conservancy Services. Retired several years ago voluntarily to do some social service and I did to do social service in IIT Bombay. He is the one who at his team organizes the entire summer internship every year. We have Shweta here. She is one of Abhinav Chowdeh's team. He will handle everything. Rajesh Kushalkar who heads our affordable solutions lab and essentially handles the hardware projects. Rahul who will be interacting with is the admin person. There are two more admin people. Khatri and Dilip Sabe. In case you have any admin related issues, you will be able to take them. Could we have a quick round of introductions of all of you so that... We have Mahesh Karmal and Diluza. They primarily help us handling the cloud-based MOOCs offerings. We also have another set of people who handle the back-end system administration for the cloud and there is another team that handles the big data analytics. There are several teams, one is under pressure outage or in Ekshiksha and other related issues. The MOOCs have software development on Open ED which is handled by his team. Aparna Palsare has that team. She should be here today sometime to talk to you. So this is roughly our group. You know more about us as we go by. Hello. Sir, I am Prathamesh Dharay from VJTI College Mumbai and I am in 2nd year computer science. You are in 2nd year? I completed 2nd year just now. It's very rare that we affect people after 2nd year for internship. You must have done something special to come here. Sir, I got 4th rank in that programming contest. This is a program. I want to see it. Thank you. Sir, my name is Pranabranarkar. I am from Vivekanan Education Institute of Technology. I also got 4th rank in the programming contest. I was selected from a software quota. You are also a 2nd year student? Yes, I am a 2nd year student. I am Prabhat Agarwal from IIT, Kharagpur. I am a 2nd year student of Department of Computer Science in India. Prabhat Agarwal. I had courses in IIT, Kharagpur. Who taught you the equivalent of CS 101? There are 4 or 5 teachers who teach first year programming course. You are also a 2nd year student? Yes, I am Prabhat Agarwal from Mutla Nehru National Institute of Technology. I have completed my 2nd year. Mutla Nehru, that is Alabad. Yes. At one time, the Alabad REC as it was known as National Institute was one of the top NITs. Over the last 10 years, it sort of degraded itself very beautifully. Has it started coming back? Yes, in computer science and IIT, it has bounced back, but not in all other fields. Thank you, sir. My name is Mohsin Mohamed. I am from NIT Agarwal. Mohsin Mohamed, have you resolved that particular issue? Yes, sir. Your friend is not here? Yes, sir. But you should be very, very careful that you so-called help your friends. The story is worth telling. He had submitted his assignments here. And within a few hours, there was another assignment which was identical. I remember the name Mohsin. And obviously, two identical assignments will get caught at IIT Bombay. So, Mr. Avinash Autry refused permission to all of them. Then he wrote back consistently 5 years, I think, to me, to him, and so on. Saying that he has not copied, but another friend who wanted to see the court to understand the concepts. He had shared the court with him. So, Mohsin, it beats my limited intelligence as to how at 6 a.m. in the morning a friend comes to you. Saying, I want to just look at your court to understand the principles. And then I'll write the entire thing on my own. When you yourself took 2 days to write that court, how did you expect that idiotic friend of yours to understand and then write the entire court on his own in 6 hours time before the deadline? You didn't. So, obviously, you wanted to help. You wanted to be a good friend. This is not good friendship. A good friend would have said, sit down here. I'll spend 2 hours explaining the concept and then you write it on your own. So, learn what is meant by good friendship also. This is what you have displayed is actually total animosity. You have acted as if you were his best enemy. Ensuring that he will never learn anything in his life. Go back and make comments. I want that fellow also to become as good a programmer as you are in next one year. And since I am involved with Agar Dara, I'll come next year to see whether he learns programming or not. You are responsible. Good. Sit down. Good morning, sir. My name is Ankit Raoqa. Sorry? Ankit Raoqa. Ankit? Raoqa. R-A-O-N-K-A. R-A-O-N-K. Sir, I am from CAC department in India, Ratla. And I am a pre-finery year student. Pre-finery, that means? Third year. Third year, yes sir. You are completed third year. Yes, I am completed third year. You are also from Agar Dara. Yes, sir. You are mostly a batch man. Yes, sir. So, why did you not spend time in teaching that great of his? Different block. Different block. I give both of you joint responsibility. Okay, sure, sir. Thank you, sir. Good morning, sir. I am from... Myself, Ravi Prakash Pajpayee. I am from National Institute of Technology. Why are you partial to NITR? Software quota. Now, I am suspicious. Do you copy each other? It's a nice joke. Good morning, sir. So, my name is Shailesh Manipande. I am from IIT, Ropar. Shailesh Manipande. You are also a third year student? No second year student. Thank you. Ropar finally has a director. Has he joined? No, sir, not yet. Good morning, sir. My name is Mithish Veer. I am from NIT. Of course. NIT used to send a lot of students every year. Are there others from NIT? Yes, sir. Wow! I am glad. What has happened with that? They also used to talk to me. I see. You are also third year? Yes, I completed my second year. Completed third year? Yes. Good morning, sir. My name is Anushka Chichani. I am from BNIT. I have completed my second year. Complete Science and Engineering. Good morning, sir. I am Harshad Kumbhara from BNIT, Ropar. I am completed my second year. I am completed my second year. Welcome to Central University. Good morning, sir. I am Mansa Garyal. And I am from NIT, Kesarapkul. I have completed my second year in Electronics and Computations. Harshad and your... Mansa, sir. You are from... Okay. This is your... I am Odina. Good morning, sir. I am Gaurna Parik from AII City, Gandhi Nagar. And I have completed my second year. You are NIT? Parik. And you are from... AII City. You are NIT? Good morning, sir. My name is Meghna Patta. I have finished my second year from NIT, K. Surat. Information technology. Hello, sir. I am Anurag Das from Triple I.T. Lahabad. I have completed my second year. Anurag, Triple I.T. Lahabad. I will say that there is one more thing to do. Most students have to assemble their own PCs when they join the issue. Does that tradition continue or not? Sir, it hasn't stopped now. It hasn't stopped now. So shy. People who get first-hand experience are helping their hands really early. So now you get ready by assembled machines. Yes, sir. But did you ever play with that hardware later on in the second year? Sir, there is a class in the first semester of that. Good morning, sir. I am Ankit Kumar from IIT Patna. I have completed my second year from Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Ankit, IIT Patna. My friend Pushpak is going there as the director. Yes, sir. You have so far been acting director from IIT Kharagpur. From Kharagpur. TV Chakravarty. Yes, sir. That way, I think it's very funny. You should actually manage this. So you should have completed columns as you will, but it doesn't matter. Good morning, sir. I am Jay Botra from IIT Surat. I have completed my third year from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Third year. Good morning, sir. Myself, Anjay Vishay from Kaleena Institute of Industrial Technology, Bhubaneswar. I have completed my third year from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Good morning, sir.

You have completed which year? Second year in Computer Science and Engineering. From NIT. So, the uncertainty. I didn't get it. No, no. Just hold it like this. I will see. The uncertainty. I didn't get your name still. Sudhanshu Nandini. Sudhanshu. How do you spell it? Sudhanshu. S H U. S H U. S H U. D H F. L S H U. You are also from NIT, sir. Completed third year in ISM. Good morning, sir. My name is Nikita Vegani. I am from NIT, SILCHER. Computer Science and Engineering Department. I have completed my third year. SILCHER. Yeah. I have completed my third year. Computer Science and Engineering Department. PITS. MESHA RAJI. Yeah. Is it Madhavad Mishra? You are there at PITS now. Sorry? Who is the director? Chancellor S.K. Mishra. Yes. Madhavad Mishra. Oh, you call it Myshathu. Yes. You give my regards. You do not mind. Sorry. I forgot to write your name. Sorry. You are completed your third year. Okay. Good morning, sir. I am Alankrita Ghaz. From NIT, I am a P-5 year student in Electrical Engineering Department. Electrical? Good morning, sir. I am Monika Chil. And I am from MNIT, Allahabad. I have completed my second year in Information Technology. Second year? Yes. This is Amin Kamal. From NIT, SILCHER. Computer Science and Engineering Department. I have completed my second year in Information Technology. Second year? Yes. I am Amin Kamal. From NIT, HOOA. I have completed my third year in CSC. NIT, HOOA has just been displaced from HOOA in the College to incorporate IIT, HOOA. So, where are you from now? It is from GC campus right now. There are no moments of setting IIT HOOA as of now. It is on just people. Only on papers. But the batch will be admitted this year. Yes. That is what this is. NIT has finally got a place or not? Yes. They have got their own temporary campus but they are separated from GC actually. How much of GC facilities did you use during your first two years? Labs. Labs and classrooms. Labs and classrooms. Teachers where you are from? Yes. Good. At least teachers where you are from. Good morning, sir. My name is Aarindra Basak. Sari? Aarindra Basak. Aarindra Basak. Yes. I have completed my third year in electronic science and technology engineering from IISC Shevkot. How do you do? Shevkot. Good morning, sir. I am Subwad Chattavad from NIT Durgapur. And I have completed third year in computer science. I am IIT Durgapur. Good morning, sir. My name is Abe Khosla. I am from IIT Karkot. And I have just completed my second year from the electronics and electrical communication engineering department. My name is Rajesh. I am from RJ Jubilee De Basu. You are from? RJ Jubilee De Basu. Which place? Telangana State De Basu. Hyderabad. Hyderabad? Hyderabad, sir. Oh, Hyderabad is now Telangana. Yes, sir. I keep forgetting there. You have completed your third year. Yes, sir. My name is Kumar. I have completed my third year in computer science and engineering from RJ Jubilee De Basu. RJ? RJ Jubilee De Basu. RJ? RJ? RJ KK De Basu. Mohamad Subheruti. Mohamad Subheruti. I am from RJ Jubilee De Basu. Mohamad Subheruti. Mohamad Subheruti. Mohamad Subheruti. Yes, I completed my third year in computer science and engineering. I have completed my third year in computer science and engineering. Yes, sir. I have completed my third year in computer science and engineering. It is not necessary that people from the same institute must sit together and must work together. In fact, we have an occasion where we can mingle and meet others. Sir, my name is Mankit Kumar. I am from AVV Tripuraddinga. Yes, Deshpandes place. I just visited that place about 50 days ago. IITM Gwalior. And what year you have completed? 30. You have a good canvas. Good morning, sir. I am K. Urzoshi from IIT, Hyderabad. I completed my second year in CSU department. My friends, Uday Desai has been trying a lot of experiments there with shorter courses, one-credit courses, seven-deck courses. Have you tried to take some of these? No, sir. For the third year, they are all common courses. They are for our juniors. Oh, they are for your juniors. You have to do the conventional courses only. Yes, sir. We are doing that. That is a very novel and important experiment which may actually spread like wildfire across the country. Once the IIT and UGC are either dismantled or reorganized, giving full autonomy to smaller institutions, then probably these changes will happen faster. Good morning, sir. My name is Amita Singh. I am from IIT, Chamshetpur. I have completed my third year in company science and engineering department. You have IIT, Chamshetpur also? Yes. Which state is that? Charkhand. Oh. Not in Rachi. No, sir. Rachi, that is BIT-Meshram. And Chamshetpur, that is National Institute of Technology. Good morning, sir. I am Priyanka Hira Ganlani from IIT, Surat. I have completed my third year from company department. Thank you. Surat. Good morning, sir. I am Ashteshwab Anukar from IIT, India. I have completed my third year in computer engineering department. Good morning, sir. I am Manisha. I am from Gandhi Institute of Technology and Management, Vishaka Bhattam. And I have completed my third year from CSE. Can you tell us something more about this institute? I don't recall. I mean... A Teetham Institute. We have this university for engineering and management. We have three branches in Bangalore and Hyderabad. And Vishaka Bhattam. And Vishaka Bhattam. Shaka Bhattam is the one which was established earlier. And the new branches are Bangalore and Hyderabad. So, in Vishaka Bhattam, how big is your campus? Sir, area-wise, I don't remember, but it's very big. How many students? Students. It's huge. Like... The CSE department... But only for CSE department, they'll be having around 11 sections. And for each section, they're having 66 students. It's very big. And how many teachers? Faculty is around 150. For double-sum? Yes. 150 faculty members will be double-sum? Yes, 30. My God, you put IIT, Bombay to share. We have only 44 faculty members. We claim that we are the largest among the entire IIT and IIT system. Sir, it's a private college. Private or public, it doesn't matter. All of them are PhDs. But I must look at the Gita, Vishaka Bhattam. Yes. I went to Vishaka Bhattam many years ago. But that was my holiday. So, this time, I've come to Gita Institute to check myself. Good morning, sir. This is Abhishek Sharma. I'm from PIT Jaffa campus. And I completed my third year from the computer science department. Abhishek Mishin Institute, sir. It's a brilliant student of technology. Kerala Institute is in Deipur as well. Yes, sir. This is a branch from the IIT main structure. Oh, IIT Vesra as a branch in Jaipur? Yes, sir. Which Pilani as a branch in Goa? Yes, sir. Very interesting. We also completed third year's mission. Computer science department. Good morning, sir. I'm Arushi Kumar. And I'm from Triple IIT, Jaipalpur. I've completed my second year at CSC. Triple IIT? Triple IIT, Jaipalpur. Yes, sir. Who is your director? Yes, sir. She recently got off. And we are in New York. Who is the new director? Sir, I don't know. She finished her term already. She's a great director. Good morning, sir. I'm Sinali K. from IIT, DLV in Goa. And I completed my third year in computer science and engineering department. And you're from IIT? IIT, DLV in Goa. Tanwani Institute? IIT, DLV. Instead of engineering and technology. They'll be alive as you will, darling. Is Professor Sanjay Tanwani in Goa? Yes, Sanjay. Topeka, sir. Topeka, sir. But Toketka is there. Yes. And Tanwani Institute is where? Sir, my name is Arushi Kumar. I'm an Arushi Institute of Technology, Pune. I'm a second year student from Information Technology. Second year? Yes. So how did you manage to land up here? Aruni Institute has a great tradition. I hope you'll keep it up here. Good morning, sir. I'm Akanshagar from IIT, DLV. And I completed my second year in electronics and communication engineering. And where are you from? IIT, DLV. Good morning, sir. So I'm Neha Sankarovia from KIL, DLV. And I completed my third year from computer science department. Which institute you said? The Kalima Institute of Industrial Engineering. Yes. There's another person from KIL in here. Yes, sir. I did third year in CSU. You're from which institute? Institute of Intelligentsia, Gulgasa University. You're from Bilaspur. Bilaspur, this engineering college is whole. Sir, university, assembly, university, it was created in 2009. Oh, it's an independent university. Yes, sir. What is it? What is the name you said? Institute of Technology, Gulgasa University. Institute of Technology. No, but when you say university, does it have multiple affiliated colleges or this college itself is the university? University. Oh, I see. How many students you have? Sir, myself, Aruchi Sharma. And I'm from LNM Institute of Information Technology, Jaipur. And I completed my second year. How did you land up here after second year? Sir, you had me for four months. I see. Aruchi, who is the director now? When was there for some time? To come back to, I have to come for the next one. That is when I met you, sir. Good morning, sir. I am Ashwini Pandit from NIT, Sildja. And I completed my second year. NIT, Sildja. How long does it take to travel from Sildja to here? Sir, it depends on the mode of travel. My flight takes 5 days. I am great. My train takes time. Wait, sir. It does not mean more. Onwards, sir, there is still not as ready of train. So from Guwahati to Sildja, it takes 12 hours. I am from Sildja to Guwahati. I am from Sildja to Guwahati in 1970. And I have completed my second year. You are also from Guwahati. My name is Sai Kiram. I am from Arju to Guwahati in Nuzhwin. I have completed my third year in comfort centre in Guwahati. Which place you said, Sai Kiram? Arju to Guwahati in Nuzhwin. Which place? Nuzhwin. Andhrapras. Which state? Andhrapras. Andhrapras. Andhra is now Srimandra, right? Yes, sir. Sir, you are our first lady, right? Good morning, sir. My name is Veer Kumar. I am from Arju to Guwahati in Nuzhwin. I have completed my third year in comfort centre in Guwahati. Sir, my name is Reshwan Sai. I am from Arju to Guwahati in Nuzhwin. I have completed my third year in comfort centre in Guwahati. I still have about 10 minutes. Okay, so first of all, welcome to this interview. The summer internship has become quite an important activity here. Because when we started, we started small. It was about 10 or 15 students. Rajesh, you remember that our lead is? 29. Yes. And some people from Jaipur have designed the prototype of that liquor and tried it in our convocation hall. Effectively communicating across very large distance. Subsequently, that resulted in an actual proper design by Prashaka Steam and its usage. We started increasing the number of schools because we found that students benefit and we also benefit in terms of contribution that the students make. Now, here is an opportunity for you and opportunity for us. And that opportunity can be utilized best by both you and us by doing some very focused work together. We have some very exciting projects that are going on. Many of it will require you to become familiar with technology that you may not have used. I hope you all understand being very good students in your own respective places that technology that you learn while you are studying is merely an indication of what kind of things will happen and what kind of things you have to make happen so that in future you can solve more complex problems for the society. And therefore, you can never say I have not studied this or I have not learned this, something new comes. So what you have studied actually is how to learn new things quickly and apply them. Sadly, not all students of a class understand this and they limit themselves to thinking in terms of whatever they have studied explicitly and they barely understand how to apply whatever they have just learned to solve problems. In many of the institutes in the country problem solving is not adequately emphasized. Whereas in our system and so in the system of most of the issues that you come from, the emphasis is on solving real problems for which you have no examples, no textbook, no guide and no nothing. You see a problem, you plunge into it, analyze it, try to see what can be done. If required, learn new technology. Adopting new technology therefore should be a matter of days, not even weeks and months. That is what is expected of you because you have better performance. We expect no less from you. Very methodical and systematic work is important, particularly when you work in team. Take any software project, if four people work together, it will just not make sense in each of the four programmers programming their own style, in their own ways. So that the combined effect is absolutely a random off. That we cannot afford. How many of you have done a course in software engineering? None, I suppose. Very few. Third year students would have done, but second year students would not have done. Software engineering is not about a particular set of topics to be understood. It's about a philosophy. It's about a philosophy of going about programming in a very methodical way, starting with what you call requirement specifications, spending time on analysis and design. And then you start coding. Unfortunately, this short interval of time, you may not have the luxury to do all these aspects completely. So therefore, there are teams here which will tell you about an existing base software which already has been written by people. Instantly, you will be mostly dealing with very large software. What is the largest software that you are handling your life so far in terms of source code? It will be mostly the assignment that you would have written yourselves. Five hundred, seven hundred lines, thousand lines, two thousand line programs. Have you ever handled a system which has, let's say, fifteen thousand lines of code? One, two. Have you ever handled a system which has hundred thousand lines of code? No. Have you done a course in operating system? Yes. Did you not use the Linux source code to experiment with it? Yes. So what source code did you use to experiment with operating system routines and so on? None. That is not all. When you are studying operating system, operating system is not a subject in philosophy. A subject in actual program. So how did you write your memory management, file management, process management routines? They studied them from the book. So we had to write the program since he had used the system codes which were also like who's a prototype, etc. Yeah, but when you are writing operating system, you are supposed to implement system code. Yes. So how did you practice writing system code written by it? When it forms, then that was the prototype used. But when the Linux operating system is available in its full flash regalia, why not use it? Compilers. Have you done a course in compilers? Yes. Did you use GCC? Yes. Do you? So how big is the GCC code? How many of you have read at least one tenth of the GCC code while studying compilers? None. None. Understanding large code which has been written professionally by large blows is itself an important learning. Those of you who will be working on some of the projects here will be required to read such code. So for your information the massive open online courses that we offer through IID Bombay X, that platform has been built by Abhinash Autestine using OpenIDX. Now OpenIDX to take the entire code base with some 2.5 million lines, nobody writes 2.5 million lines. The code that has been written by the people in MIT and Harvard initial and then contributed to by a large community which has already developed around OpenIDX is about 250,000 lines. It uses mainly Python uses the Django framework and it uses not either the MongoDB the distributed object DB and MySQL. Here are studied databases but you would have used one particular database to handle only structured period. SQL is what you would have studied. You probably would not have studied object databases. You are familiar with ODBC and JDBC calls that is you write some frontend and the way you connect to the backend database is through those calls but how many of so you are familiar with XML but how many of you are familiar with JSONs which are typically used for database interaction these days. Most of the message formats in any capture of interaction are typically coded by the machine which generates these messages and you have to handle JSONs you have to pass them you have to understand them you have to extract information and so on. I am just describing one particular core base on which many of you have developed. So there are two important aspects that you have to remember. Number one never gets scared of the size. Number two never gets scared of the new platform that comes in life. You have to go with the complete confidence that you are good at programming and that's it. Any new technology, any new thing you should be able to master it quickly doesn't matter if you make some mistakes that is why it is called internship. You are not a professional programmer being paid salaries but you are interns so that you learn and you continue. But contribution you must because particularly for this MOOCs platform for the blended mode we have a whole lot of information requirement so let me just tell you how we are going to offer the blended MOOCs next semester. Three courses one on thermodynamics one on signals and systems and one on introduction to computer programming using cc++ will be offered across the country to all learners but specifically those institutions such as yours for example which agree to accept the MOOC scores of marks as a part of their own grade so they might decide on a percentage of marks to be allocated to MOOCs scores percentage to local score etc. Such recognition of grading of MOOCs is considered important and will be offering it. I will be having a meeting of about 100 by chance learners or directors of autonomous institutions on 6th of June agreed to experiment with this. Now they will require consistent MIS reports they will require inputs from big data analytics that will be done for the students of their college which participate in the meeting. So imagine there are one lakh students doing a particular course at my institute let's say in other Thala or some place and we used to do this I have maybe 500 students 600 students 100 students now for those 100 students how they are performing in that business how they are performing vis-a-vis the other students in the environment of the whole nation and more importantly through the big data analytics how they are learning what is the nature of their learning interaction I don't know whether you understand the learning interaction when you do a course online then whenever you see a video it gets trapped whenever you see a sample problem it gets trapped whenever you appear online there how much time you spend on each question it gets trapped this is the learning behavior of the students which otherwise is impossible for a teacher to know in normal classes I have interaction with you during the classroom and most of the time you spend in my giving a lecture in the flip classroom models that we are doing in the institutions which adopt this model they will not spend time in giving lectures the lectures will have to be studied by students in their hostels or in their spare time the entire classroom will be utilized class hour in discussion sessions problem solving and so on we have experimented with that in IIT Bombay itself the flip classroom has been tried for last 5 years by the flip faculty members and we are convinced that it enhances the engagement with students significantly can imagine if the entire hour is spent in discussions and problem solving our colleagues presser Sana Murti and presser Shridhar Ajay have perfected a technique called Thick Pair Share have you heard of this so it works like this I give a problem individually you solve it for 5 minutes then we ask each one and examine the neighbor's solution and neighbor examines your solution so you share that and then we ask a few such groups I have experimented it in CS 101 where the neighbor was not one but a group of 5 or 6 people and then we arbitrarily take one or two solutions which come out of such discussions and display them for the whole class and the entire class enjoys finding no mistakes in because we love finding mistakes in others program it's a very very engaging environment and more important since everybody is supposed to apply one's mind to solve a problem to discuss it with others and then listen to the composite discussion the learning is end times more so we would like this type of teaching and learning to happen across all institutions in 5 years period we would like to start that we are starting this coming back to the internship program I spent quite some time in explaining the nature of lead lead books that we used to offer but if I have to offer suppose now I am a teacher in let's say NIT Suratya and I accept this model now what I would expect to know I have let's say 100 students doing thermodynamics forming a big pilot I would like to get help from additional problems from the teacher who teaches thermodynamics here I would like to know out of these 100 students who are the ones who are viewing the lectures just 4 hours before the quiz and those who are viewing the lectures throughout the big problem and I would know it additionally because during the week I will be engaging my students in the flip class so it's a novel model and its success depends upon our software being able to give required information to every participating institution on a regular basis now we have the open edX platform on which Aparna is here can you raise your hand Aparna is Avinash Aute's Jallarandha field working with the open edX platform to develop this earlier they have developed a blended books model where we were wanting to establish a server running in each participating institution and to do some kind of a synchronization in the evening we have now modified this in difference to the wishes of the Vice Chancellor send the lectures with whom we had discussions who said that let us conduct our own institution classes the way we want to but we would like to merge in this fashion now many of you will be working on A, the MIS reports to be generated properly please remember that we don't get the roll number and other things on the MOOCs platform when I do boundary service courses we just get your ID, your name and your place so the local college will have to give us that these are the students who are studying here and will have to accept each of them this is also remember that the students interaction which results in what we call event log they need to be analyzed for both for generating MIS reports as well as for doing a big data analytics on trains you would like to see the global trains how long do people on an average watch videos how much time people spend on looking at individual problems in related quizzes how long people spend in looking at solved examples all of these are buried into extremely complex JSON messages to understanding them handling them we have a sort of Hadoop-like environment we will use hype and Nagesh is here Nagesh, we installed Spark because that will work much faster and Avilash is not there we will try and find out how many of you are familiar with cloud you just heard of cloud virtual machines program of few people anyway all of you will probably be given access to some virtual machines on which you can try out the installations and so on how many of you are familiar with software version control systems version control of your programs you have tried four, five, six only half reasons how many of you are familiar with Github several people and Ansible Ansible is effectively software version control system on Github Ansible is used by the open area platform and also by us so become familiar with some of these things they are very quiet now not all of us are very fast learners some people will learn slowly some people will learn faster that is why the team structure is very important the team has to work coherently suppose I am a laggard and I fall in a team of four obviously all other three will quickly notice that I am taking time to learn then you three will have to spend time with me in the night to bring me up today or next day or something like that because all of us have to move very quickly okay leadership will emerge automatically from such teams we do not intend to impose leadership ourselves we would let the teams work and throw out the leadership so within a few days each team will have to throw out a coordinator he is the first among the people he or she is the first among the people it is not leader is not like sit down and do this kind of thing we have to work together why you do all this you must of course enjoy life all work and no play is useless we have a swimming pool where is the country you can handle that membership or whatever whatever is required we have a very good library we do not have movie shows we do not have any convocation at this time but the campus itself is a beautiful place you can move around we are staying in hostel 7 8 and 6 15 and all the girls are staying there 15 I personally do not like to walk much therefore I find all these places very far away because you are very young you would enjoy walking I guess of course buses or something like that but enjoy the campus life like this try to see the labs which will be around even though you are not working for example in the affordable solutions lab only how many people are electronics students basically 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4 most others are interested in computer science and software but there is an affordable solutions lab we instantly do not distinguish between hardware and software in terms of have you heard of embedded systems much of the software is getting implemented in hardware now and that is what many of you are destined to devote your time and energy in professional life so in fact dividing knowledge in silos of computer science, electrical engineering mechanical engineering itself is very bad it destroys the element of engineering in each one of you an engineer is a problem solver who does not care which branch of knowledge is required which branch of knowledge is required to solve a particular problem so you may not know much about mechanical engineering but you should be willing to learn study and take help from other mechanical engineers they are required so you are essentially going to become problem solvers and that is what we expect all of you to spend your time you will be here for 8 weeks so you already have familiar with the campus you are here for last 2 days I understand how many of you came how many of you came yesterday and how many of you came day 4 yesterday or very long 48 hours in the campus there is a lot of subtlety so you know every nook and corner now where you get coffee at 2 o clock in the night how many of you know that 1, 2, 3 good that is often required when you work late we do not have time limits on working in the labs of course you are not our regular students but for our regular students we have key permissions issued that they can work at any point in time this is one ethos of this institute which would like you to carry back if it already does not exist in your institution our principle is that if a student wishes to work for 10 minutes at 2 am in the morning then the lab must be made available to their student at 2 am in the morning if we cannot make it available then it is our mistake of this of course not all students would like to work at 2 am in the morning they have better things to do mostly sleeping or online gaming, online movie whatever whatever in their office but there are always some mad fellows who would like to spend time in the lab and we insist that the lab be made available now it may not be possible for us to make the lab available at 2 am in the morning for the interns but we would like to keep the labs open as much as is possible you will all be working in the new software Laman X here OSL OSL is not free on 11th and 12th for creative efficiency but that is ok so today anyway you will go through the engagement by various colleagues who will tell you about their respective projects and so on and you will have to select a particular project I suggest that you give 2 or 3 choices 3 choices you will be collecting but it is not a project groups so you collect 3 choices for the groups we will try to accommodate the first choice as much as possible but we have to distribute people sort of evenly across different projects we will do that and once that is done you come to know for the tomorrow yeah tomorrow I will do that so unfortunately I am required to be there tomorrow emergency meeting of the platform so my mails have submitted ok so I will be there often on I will probably spend some time with you tomorrow I will be there after tomorrow there will be a meeting you go on 14th I will be back here 14 will be here yeah you will be here I keep moving around I will be there whenever I can but we have colleagues here who will spend time with you there is one danger when you do projects which require understanding of very large space on the top of which you have to build something in spite of my suggestion that don't at all be scared be confident initially there will be a scare and the tendency when you are scared is to find out some hand to hand hold now my colleagues will be here to help you out but let me tell you the earlier you detach yourself from these experts the better it is for you the better it is for the for you we would like ultimately each one of you has to become a top class professional and top class professionals don't depend on outside help except when required so minimize that, maximize your own learning and don't worry about experimenting in initiating all right all the best I hope you enjoyed the best would be that at the end of this entire exercise of 8 weeks of your training of your internship when you go back very happy and proud that you have not only learned something significant but you have contributed something to actual onboarding the moment of pride will be that when we find that all of you without exception have learned something new please understand that for us you are a number 54 today may be 75 after 2 more weeks or whatever but you are not statistics each one of you is an individual and it is our ambition as teachers that each one of you should benefit we are not interested in statistical happiness say 90% of the interns learn something it has to be 100% as I said because each one of you is not just a part of statistics each one of you is a life young professional aspiring to become a great contributor and that is why while we will be monitoring your activities I would like to know if any one of you has any problem which is not getting solved and you are not learning sufficiently I would like to know personally do not hesitate in contacting any one of us for any problem whatsoever including administrative problems because we will take care of it any other academic problem your mentors will take care of it but do not hesitate in coming back to us for any problem keeping the problem to yourself the problem is not getting solved so share it with your team share it with us and maximize both your learning and your enjoyment thank you so much
