CC's SSO supports Oauth2, OpenID Connect, and SAML2 based authorization. This will enable us to make our authentication process more robust, secure, and universal for all applications across IITB. ",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 1,,"Why is it necessary? SSO with OAuth/SAML/OpenID is very secure compared to LDAP since it offers multi-factor authentication and a fully encrypted protocol. It also has a single point of trust for the end-user, so even if one application is compromised, the security of your application is not threatened. These protocols are very widely deployed by all major companies, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple. Nowadays It is an internet standard. ",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 2,,"In today's IT-driven world, multi-factor authentication is very much necessary. This will considerably slow down hacking activities because of compromised LDAP accounts and eventually help end-users and system administrators since most of these accounts get compromised because of simple credentials, sharing of credentials with colleagues, sharing of credentials to a malicious site, or response to a phishing email. ",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 3,,"How do I use SSO based authentication for the application I am developing?

",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 4,,"What is 2-Factor Authentication, and why is it mandatory? Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your online accounts. Verifying your identity using a second factor (like your phone or another mobile device) prevents anyone but you from logging in, even if they know your password. Once you've enrolled in Google/Microsoft authenticator app or SMS based OTP, you're ready to go: You'll login as usual with your username and password, and then use your device to verify that it's you. ",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 5,,Supported methods for 2-Factor authentication Two-Factor Authentication for CC's SSO Login is designed to work with your existing devices and network connections. We support the following devices/methods: * Time-based OTP – based on FREE apps like Google/Microsoft authenticator * SMS text messages via a cell phone (Only for Faculty and Institute staff members) * Passwordless authentication using IITB SSO app (For Android and iOS platform.) * Security key / Hardware token-based (Key/token must support WebAuthn standard and FIDO2 compliant.) * Touch ID (For mac users) based or Windows Hello based. ,https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 6,,"The Mobile apps are free and downloadable from your cell phone's app store (e.g., iTunes or Google Play).

To protect our netmon proxy from bombarding from various portions of our network, we have implemented a scheme in which the IP address remains blocked for 2 hours, once found bombarding netmon proxy. After end of 2 hours, if it is still found bombarding, then it is again blocked for 2 hours and this continues recursively. ",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 62,,Q. Is my IP blocked at the Router? First you need to find out whether your IP is blocked at the router or there is some local problem. If you can ping other computers in your hostel but you cannot ping/telnet/ssh to your department server or other machine outside your router then your machine IP is blocked at the router. Else there is some local problem. ,https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 63,,"Q. What can I do if my IP is blocked at the router? Contact your hostel sysad/comp secy to solve the problem. This may be due to no mac entry of your lan card in router or some physical cable/jack problem. If you temprorarily need to access department, you can use your hostel computer room. If it is not resolved you can also take assistance from CC by lodging a complaint using [complaint form](https://help-cc.iitb.ac.in) ",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 64,,"Q. Is my IP blocked at Netmon? Check if other local services such as DNS, Webmail, internal WEB ACCESS, etc are working fine, but Internet is not working. If you are getting authentication window for Netmon proxy server and still not able to access internet then you must have forgotten your password on Netmon proxy server. You are requested to contact sysad/compi secy and get your password reset. If you are not getting prompt for authentication, please check your proxy settings in the browser properly. If they are also correct then check whether your IP is really listed in blocked IP's [here](https://camp.iitb.ac.in/cgi- bin/blockip.cgi) ",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 65,,"Q. What can be a cause for my IP getting blocked? There can be several reasons for IP getting blocked.Your computer must be bombarding netmon with invalid requests. This is usually due to ad-wares or may be due to some software trying to update itself without proper proxy settings. This can also be due to virus infected computer.You can also install a personal firewall which will keep track of all incoming and outgoing requests. Most popular of which is ZoneAlarm.People have to fix their problems *on their own*. Just trace out and resolve it as soon as possible. Unblocking automatically happens only after 2 hours of blocking period, but as said earlier, if it is still found bombarding then it is again blocked for 2 hours and this continues recursively.

WHY SHOULD ONE TAKE UP HONORS Honor courses are either advanced-level courses in your department or are courses designed to give you more exposure to different areas in your department. They help you get deeper knowledge in your department to prepare you for higher studies or to take a job in a particular specialized area so that you can compete with, say, an M.Tech who has specialized in the same area. You are likely to develop strong subject skills by completing an honor successfully and sincerely. Undergraduate classes introduce you to a wide breadth of topics and challenges, and an Honors project enables you to explore one in much greater depth. Honors research topics are varied and negotiable – if you are really interested in a topic and want to learn more about it, you’ll be encouraged and supported. From a potential employer’s perspective, whatever your department, it appears laudable to have demonstrated the ability to achieve a complex and demanding goal and have in-depth knowledge in your department. Honor courses also help you if you want to pursue further studies or research in the future. Honors provide you with a deeper understanding and chance to explore sub-domains and make an informed choice about the topic of future exploration. Also, since you have more dedicated knowledge in your specialization, there are higher chances that your profile will get noticed by universities for their MS/Ph.D. programs. To complete the honor, 24 credits must be completed by tagging courses in your department as honor electives. They don’t count in your CPI; a separate honors CPI is maintained. This means that taking some honor courses but not being able to complete the entire 24 credits does not harm you in any way; it, in any case, enables you to delve further into your department.",https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zn6hPZe1fJ3otvWvXEyq2V991sTfYo1v/view?usp=sharing 599,,5.

JAPANESE INTRODUCTION Review by Sakshi Priya,https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zn6hPZe1fJ3otvWvXEyq2V991sTfYo1v/view?usp=sharing 621,,"Japanese can be a very daunting language to start as it's ranked the toughest language to learn for the native English speakers, which I think most of you would use as the language of conversion while learning. It has sounds that aren't present in English or even Hindi, so it can be a bit challenging in the start to grasp it but otherwise it should be fine with practice and more classes. The sentence structure is also quite different from English. Some phrases do not have a direct translation in English so it could be a nice experience to understand a language in a more intuitive sense.",https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zn6hPZe1fJ3otvWvXEyq2V991sTfYo1v/view?usp=sharing 622,,"WHY JAPANESE? I have been fascinated by the language for a long time now. I used to do calligraphy and that's where I started writing in Japanese even before I understood what exactly they meant. I had a very personal attachment to the Japanese culture and the place (mostly due to calligraphy and stationery), so it felt right to take up a language course. I also am very passionate about learning languages in general and that gave me the last push I needed. I would suggest you take up the course only if you have some sort of ""why"" to learn the language cause it can get hard to manage the academic load and give enough attention to a non credit course.",https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zn6hPZe1fJ3otvWvXEyq2V991sTfYo1v/view?usp=sharing 623,,"COURSE LOAD The course load wasn't a lot on paper but a lot in all other sense, as we didn't really get any assignments regularly but if you really want to make some progress in the course, it would be advisable to put extra effort in learning the language.

IR LANGUAGE REVIEWS 8.2. GERMAN Review by Darade Vaibhav Vinayakrao INTRODUCTION The German language is widely spoken in four European countries: Germany, Austria, Belgium, and Luxembourg. German is also an official language in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Alphabets are quite similar(except for a few - ä, ö, ü and ß) to the English language but grammatically German and English are quite different(You must have seen the memes!). Sometimes we used to relate the things with the Hindi(in my case I used to relate them with Marathi as well) so that it becomes easy to break down and understand. Formal and informal structures of speaking are very important in the German language.",https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zn6hPZe1fJ3otvWvXEyq2V991sTfYo1v/view?usp=sharing 629,,"WHY GERMAN? I was interested in German culture(more from the academic point of view, I like their educational structure a lot). Along with that Germany is the most preferred country to work in for Mechanical engineers(which is my interest) so it was natural for me to choose this language. Motivation to study the language only for doing the job is necessary but won’t be sufficient in the long run so little cultural interest will help. It will help you when you start losing interest in it after some time and also you will have to find the time on a regular basis for this commitment during the hectic semester schedules(some students from my batch ditched it because of this). So if you are interested and can assure yourself of time commitment then go for it!

FAST TRACKING Fast tracking of degrees is the completion of B.Tech degree in 3.5 or in exceptional cases 3 years . If a student completes the required coursework (credit requirements for that particular degree) and wishes to utilize the last semester(s) in some other activities,the student can get a provisional degree and leave the institute earlier, although the final degree will be awarded at the formal convocation itself. ""The students who choose to pursue this option would still be eligible to sit for the placements in December and can even start working as soon as they are placed."" Students can indulge in other activities like internships, preparation for competitive exam, entrepreneurial ventures or even travelling. IIT Bombay became the first IIT to implement the idea of fast-tracking of degrees. It is worth noting that the accumulation of credits for fast tracking of your degree starts only from the beginning of your sophomore year. 8 ",https://drive.google.com/file/d/11rJhoC34ONDXPo7r9U6ynlLFIp_CFqjG/view?usp=sharing 670,,"Review by- SHASHANK BATRA When and why did you choose to fast-track? Basically, what was the plan during the extra semester? I came to know that some engineering colleges offer the option of completing the degree early, before getting into college, and the idea appealed to me. So I was quite excited when my ISMP mentor told me, right in the first semester, that something like this is being planned for us as well. The decision was a no-brainer for me. Back then, the idea of completing something ahead of time sounded interesting. Having some extra time for myself wasn’t a bad deal either. After the first year though, as my interests got more concrete and my career plan became clearer, I decided that if I get placed into a nice tech company, I’d travel a little and then start working earlier than usual. If not, I would have just taken some time off for some projects, hobbies, and traveling. ""All this meant that in the first 4 out of my last 5 semesters, I had around 50 credits. It could have been way more relaxed, so that’s the choice that you have to make."" How did you keep up with the increased course load (also managing stress)? Any unique/different ways you handled acads in the last 2.5 years, compared to the first year (when there was no fast-track)? The method to fast-track is to complete the electives from the last semester beforehand. If you don’t have a minor, that’s just one extra course per semester, and, honestly, that’s not much of an extra load. Most students take some additional courses now and then so that one extra course per semester is almost always there for everyone. For me, along with those electives, I had a minor (which I enjoyed and was pretty sincere about) and a couple of extra courses due to the change of branch. So that meant an extra 2-3 courses each semester. Along with that, I had a couple of in-sem internships, and I also ended up choosing more involved projects for my electives out of interest. 9 ",https://drive.google.com/file/d/11rJhoC34ONDXPo7r9U6ynlLFIp_CFqjG/view?usp=sharing 671,,"Were you able to devote time to non- academic activities? If yes, what were they? Things we do in our college obey the Parkinson’s Law. Above a threshold of commitments, you’re going to be busy no matter what. So a few extra credits don’t really change that. I was able to take out time for some hobby projects, be involved with NSS for a semester, and have a couple of in-sem internships. In my placements semester, I had to complete 41 credits. I was quite happy with the apparent “reduced” workload (41 instead of the usual 50) until I realized that many students had taken the minimum possible courses in order to prepare better. So I was definitely at a disadvantage, and it was something that required me to work extra hard and made things quite hectic. Such things should be planned beforehand. ""You won’t have as much time for other things as your peers would. Workload (and stress) increases exponentially (and not linearly) with commitments."" Anything else you would like to tell regarding fast-tracking? You should know “why” you’re doing it. Everyone you know would ask you this question. And in times of increased stress or workload, you would too. You would be working more just to maintain your performance. You would probably miss out on the most “chill” semester, and you might have an extremely hectic placements semester. You would know it when you’re going through these problems, and you would always have the choice of dropping/quitting something or going back on your decision. Always keep these options open. Also, “whether or not to fast-track” is not something everyone needs to consider. You would already know if you want to do it or have the reason for it, and it is then that you should consider the pros and cons.

A student can now go and spend a semester or two at one of his/her preferred IITs. The credits earned during the stay will be exchanged. The benefits of the Inter IIT Semester Exchange program are that students gain access to new courses, new ways of learning and new facilities, which are not available in their own institute. Each institute can send a maximum of two students for one semester to each of the other two institutes. Hence, each IIT can have a maximum of 4 outgoing students and a maximum of 4 incoming students. Students have to pay tuition fees at the home institute. The host institute will provide the visitor appropriate accommodation on-campus for the entire duration of their visit. However, students will have to bear own costs for the living expenses (including accommodation) at the host institute. The process differs to international exchanges in the way that instead of looking for active MoUs on the IR website, the interested student has to approach the IR office (through the ISIR) in the semester preceding the exchange for an impromptu MoU to be worked out with any of the IITs. 11 ",https://drive.google.com/file/d/11rJhoC34ONDXPo7r9U6ynlLFIp_CFqjG/view?usp=sharing 673,,"This exchange program was initially started between IITB, IITD and IITR.

The interdisciplinary program is education by choice. It combines interests that allow students to make discoveries and connections rarely possible in the narrower confines of a single-subject major. It is only for the movement of students from one academic unit to another. With this opportunity, students can pursue their interests in multiple fields. Am I eligible for this program? You, irrespective of your department can apply for an IDDDP at the end of sixth semester. You semester, students must have CPI>=7.5 and should not have any FR/DR/DX/W grade in mandatory courses including NSO/NSS/NCC. Through IDDDP programme, you can apply for all the specializations of Dual Degree and MTech programmes approved by the Academic Senate of IITB.

What about minor courses? I had not done any courses in the electrical engineering department before converting to IDDDP. My decision was based purely on my research interests, and the professor whom I was interested in working with. How was the course load? Slightly lesser than it is for the regular dual degree kids - dual degree kids have somewhere between 3 to 5 more courses than the folk from IDDDP. Again, it depends on the department that you'd be going into. For IDDDP in Microelectronics (electrical), they want you to do about 3 more courses over the minimum number of courses (4 courses) listed in the IDDDP description. Just looking at the logistics, since you'd have an M.Tech. degree (hopefully in the department of your choice), it should better your situation than say, if you were not to have a specialized degree in a field that you would like to work in. 14 ",https://drive.google.com/file/d/11rJhoC34ONDXPo7r9U6ynlLFIp_CFqjG/view?usp=sharing 676,,"Does it result in better prospects for future?

What are the key take-away points? With the liberty in taking courses, it has definitely helped me be a lot less stressed than I used to be in my former programme; my former programme had loads of core courses that got very repetitive, so I got flattened out a lot because of that and the IDDDP provided me a great means to sway toward the field that I was interested in, by letting me take courses in which I knew that I’d get to learn something new.

Your motivation- After my first year, I was extremely unsure about whether to go for a branch change from electrical to physics or not. Fast forward to the start of the fourth year, having done some work under a prof and a bunch of courses, it became clear to me that I wanted to be in Physics for the future. Although I had done some courses, it was clear to me that there was a gap in the coursework needed to successfully pursue a PhD in my field of choice. So after B.Tech, I would have to go for a masters before a PhD. A masters degree in an American university costs an insane amount, while here, it is practically free, with extremely good quality of coursework. What about minor courses? It is usually important to have some coursework in the target department. I started off by doing the minor curriculum, but halfway, I diverged to taking up courses that were more suited to my interests. All in all, I had done 5 physics courses before applying to the department. The department usually looks for a few mandatory courses, like Classical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics-1, which are integral to any physics curriculum. 16 ",https://drive.google.com/file/d/11rJhoC34ONDXPo7r9U6ynlLFIp_CFqjG/view?usp=sharing 678,,"How was the course load? There are two options for IDDDP, with and without honors. Both options require that your BTech credits are completed from your parent department. With honors requires 9 theory+DDP project (126 credits) and without honors requires 4 theory+DDP project (96 credits). It is important to be aware of what course load you can take, and plan accordingly before applying. Does it result in better prospects for future? In my case, it allowed me to do some necessary coursework which I would have to do at some point in my education. It is definitely better to do it now than repeating the same stuff in your PhD.It allowed me a bit more time to carry out some more research in the institute, as well as find a better topic for my DDP. What are the key take away points? I’d suggest people thinking about an IDDDP to think carefully about what they’d like to do in that time, make a detailed course plan, and stick to it. Doing so many additional credits in just an extra year can be quite stressful. In addition, it is necessary to fix a general direction to your research beforehand, as you’re asked to choose your guide while applying to the department for an IDDDP.

I could have gone for further studies abroad but I was not completely sure about it. A dual degree was a good option as it would give me more time to decide on my plans and strengthen my profile. A senior who was pursuing IDDDP in SysCon suggested that if I wanted to keep working in the SysCon department then I should consider converting to the dual degree through IDDDP.

However, it was extremely helpful for me to take up SysCon minor as you need to have a basic understanding of control theory and other relevant concepts taught in the basic courses before taking up graduate-level courses. Does it result in better future prospects? Through the IDDDP I am\have been able to work on research projects that are not limited to Aerospace Engineering and have applications in other fields also.

In the jobs also, I will be able to apply for all the companies that allow SysCon students. What are the key takeway points? Many of the students are not clear about their plans or want to explore more about other fields before they arrive at a particular decision. The IDDDP is a good choice for such students but you also need to be careful before taking this decision. Research about your destination department before arriving at a decision. Be prepared to bear some extra academic load as you’ll have to do graduate- level courses in a department other than yours.

Turning in someone else's work as your own, even with modifications, or reproducing any content without due citation or even failing to put quotation marks when needed can count as plagiarism. There’s also self-plagiarism, which means that you shouldn’t even submit your own pre-published work to a separate forum. HOW TO PREVENT INADVERTENT PLAGIARISM? Paraphrase the information you take (and also cite the source), and don’t copy verbatim as it is. If copying extracts from a source, then it should be copied as it is without any modification within block quotes and should be properly cited. The citing here is usually the addition of page number or paragraph number in case of a web content If some of the material you are using for your research paper was used by you in your current class, a previous one, or anywhere else you must cite yourself. Treat the text the same as you would if someone else wrote it. If you’re writing a research paper you must include the references page or page of works cited. This information is very specific and includes the author(s), date of publication, title, and source. Follow the directions for this page carefully. Referencing a material incorrectly is also defined as plagiarism. You must explicitly request for permission to reproduce a figure in a journal. It should say ""reproduced from ABC with permission from XYZ"" where XYZ is a copyright holder and ABC is the reference. You may typically reuse published data by resorting to extracting the data from the figure/table. 25 ",https://drive.google.com/file/d/11rJhoC34ONDXPo7r9U6ynlLFIp_CFqjG/view?usp=sharing 687,,"WHAT PUNISHMENT IS GIVEN FOR THE ACT OF PLAGIARISM?

In more serious cases, like deliberately claiming false results on experiments, falsely claiming original content in an M.Tech/M.Phil/PhD thesis, the case should be referred to the ADAC and the minimum penalty is suspension for a period of one year.

This cross-checks your work against the world wide web, databases of published material, as well as content previously submitted by other users. It highlights sections of text that are duplicated in other sources. Markers look at the Turnitin results to check whether such duplication is a possible case of plagiarism. The Similarity Index generated is a pointer of how original is the submission. This is then used by the instructor to determine whether the submission is acceptable. For details on how to activate your Turnitin account, refer to the Online Resources section.

READ ON TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HER RESEARCH, HOW THE MONASH PROGRAM IS LIKE NO OTHER, AND A FEW TIPS FOR HER JUNIORS. How did you find out about IITB-Monash Academy, and what led you to choose it for your research? I found out about the IITB-Monash Research Academy through the internet when I was conducting random searches for PhD opportunities after my Masters. The point that most captivated me was that students were already provided with a research title - within the purview of which the overall research would be conducted; unlike scenarios where students, only after getting into a PhD into a broad discipline, have to zero in upon a suitable research topic. The advantages of this are many - your literature survey prospects are much higher, your work is more streamlined right from the start, you choose the field only if you are genuinely interested which makes it even more of a responsible decision. Could you explain briefly what your research is about? My research deals with the synthesis and applications of heterogeneous catalysts through continuous flow chemistry. Continuous flow chemistry is a lucrative but recently developed field that allows chemical reactions to happen faster, safer, and in a more efficient fashion while heterogeneous catalysts are highly important materials that assist in the formation and progress of various chemical processes. My research aims to combine these two together and thus result in the development of materials that not only could be produced in a quick and efficient manner but further allow faster and safer progress of chemical processes. What was your experience like in the PhD program? A PhD is one of the best things one can do in life. It is a mixture of everything - happiness and sadness, enthusiasm and frustration, pride and shame, courage and fear, and much more. It teaches you a lot - not just professionally. A PhD is a holistic form of development - both mentally and psychologically. ""No matter what you have and you don’t, just never leave your passion for research at any point. No matter what you are doing - be it a PhD or not, be it in the Monash programme or not, be it any time, any position - show zeal in work. At the end of the day, more than a degree, it is the mental satisfaction that is important. "" How is the research under Monash’s program different from say, research under any IITB prof? Research under the Monash program is mainly different in the way that you get to research under a foreign guide and conduct research for a minimum of 3 months in a foreign land (Monash University, Australia). This is an excellent clause in itself - which is the basis for why this program is extremely productive. You get international exposure during your PhD, you learn the working culture abroad, you get to interact with a lot of people from all over the globe, your horizons widen both in terms of hard and soft skills, you understand how to carry out not just doing research - but also the thinking behind it; you get the opinions from not just one but two supervisors in your research, you get to know the perspectives of many people, etc. It is a lifetime opportunity; and one that is certainly something to be experienced. 30 ",https://drive.google.com/file/d/11rJhoC34ONDXPo7r9U6ynlLFIp_CFqjG/view?usp=sharing 692,,"SCHOLARSHIP PORTAL A scholarship portal has been developed by UGAC for the students of the Institute which contains the list of scholarships available based on your interests like higher studies, exchange programs, research, internships. financial aid and much more...

Read the review to know more about his unconventional experience, and how it changed him for the better. Q.1 When did you decide to pursue a degree in Design? What were the main factors that led you to taking this decision? I’d been into some amount of Art and Design during my years at school, and while most of that took a backseat through JEE prep, coming to IITB meant that I was able to start taking courses at IDC through the minor program.The first course I took - Basics of Visual Communication by Prof. Raja Mohanty - was one that I personally quite liked, and over the next six semesters I ended up taking up one IDC course per semester, along with a couple projects. The ‘decision’ to formally pursue design was perhaps taken at the end of third year.I attempted to work on a music + design related project that summer. The M.Des program is a lot more about working on real, and socially relevant design and research projects. I’ve personally engaged a lot more with what could broadly be termed as HCI (Human Computer Interaction) research. ""The manner in which I approached applying for Design"" graduate programs was similar to how my peers were going about their own applications for science and engineering programs, so I was able to get feedback from them along the way."" 37 ",https://drive.google.com/file/d/11rJhoC34ONDXPo7r9U6ynlLFIp_CFqjG/view?usp=sharing 699,,"Q.2 How difficult was it to choose a path that was way different from what usually people decided on doing? How did people around you react to it? I didn’t perceive the choice to pursue design as particularly difficult, because my family and friends were supportive of the idea. Not having clear examples of seniors who’d followed similar paths did make things tricky at times though.I relied on a lot of internet advice as I went about preparing my applications for grad school and for the Indian design entrance exams as well. Q.3 How is the course load for an M.Des degree? How is it different from an engineering degree according to you? The M.Des program has 5 disciplines, and I was in Interaction Design, so I’m only commenting on that discipline. The course load has been far more intense than anything I’d gone through in B.Tech. Each semester in first year has 10 courses, that mostly run in modules which are 1 - 4 weeks long. I had to spend a lot more time working on projects because of my lack of a core ‘design’ background in the first sem, but whatever tech + research experience I picked up through B.Tech certainly started helping over the second semester. Almost all learning is project-based, and classes are smaller and much more collaborative (over the first year I worked with all of my 11 classmates on at least one major course project). There are also very few ‘exams’. Campus life is also very different. Most M.Des students have close to no time to meaningfully engage in any co-curricular activities. ""While I was able to do literature and music stuff over the course of B.Tech, academics have consumed all available time in M.Des."" Q.4 What are your plans for the future? Going through the M.Des has definitely helped me identify what I’d like to work on moving forward, with much more clarity than I had at the end of B.Tech. I see myself continuing to engage in academic research in HCI, first through RAships probably, and eventually (hopefully) a PhD. My plans for the immediate future would be to first complete my final projects, and then take a break for a little while. The last two years have been rewarding and exhausting in equal parts, and I’d like to take a few steps back and assess next steps. Q.5 What are some key points you would want to suggest to others who are willing to take up design for their Masters? If you’re broadly interested in design, the IDC minor program is a good starting point, but I’d really recommend that you speak to your peers in the B.Des program, seniors in M.Des, and faculty at the IDC to get a better understanding of what actually happens in that building. If you’re still interested, then IDC is a good place for B.Techs like us to make the switch to design/HCI.

It is alright to work on multiple projects during the initial years to know where your interests lie. However, it is essential to narrow down to a single project, especially in the final year, and focus all your time and energy. It is crucial to spend adequate time on your research project to produce good quality output. Merely dabbling with different projects won't give you a satisfying experience. 4 BE PERSISTENT Research is never a smooth ride. You are going to make mistakes, you are going to fail. Don't get discouraged when something doesn't work. Mistakes should be embraced as an opportunity to learn, and you should stop harboring a fear of failure. There will be a stage when you get stuck.

As an undergraduate, I had very little idea about life in an academic career. As a faculty, I enjoy a lot of academic freedom and work on something that I really like. I get to select which projects to work on and how to work. I can choose to work on sponsored research projects and, at the same time, take up industrial consultancy projects. I can also get to choose the people to collaborate with and work on multi-disciplinary problems. Besides, the work hours are very flexible. It's rare for a job to offer such freedom. Further, research and teaching ensure that I continuously learn and engage in stimulating problems. The process of mentoring students in research and classroom teaching is indeed a gratifying experience. A research career may not be a lucrative option. Still, it has been a very satisfying job and exceeded my expectations. Given that the job involves diverse tasks such as teaching, mentoring, research, writing proposals and articles, setting up and maintaining laboratory, and administration, it has been both exhilarating and exhausting at times.

How I got into research as an undergrad and how it helped me Watching my five-year old go about his business, I am reminded of my early years as an undergrad at IIT Bombay. I wanted to learn all I could about atmospheric and space flight, and I would constantly seek a professor to talk to. I found most professors patient enough and willing to have a conversation with a bumbling newbie. These encouraging conversations gave way to small projects – initially during summer and then gradually during the regular semesters. In the first two years, I worked almost exclusively on short projects to get my hands dirty – fabricating a composite wing, determining the moments of inertia of small aircraft experimentally, and even writing assembly-level code for an electronic lock. By the start of year-3, I was working on what ended up being relatively long-term research projects in the areas of flight mechanics and Mr. Aditya Paranjape Senior Scientist, TCS Research Ex.

I got a fairly good grasp of the subject area thanks to this work, and I had even authored a few research papers in top-tier international conferences and a respectable Indian journal by the time I graduated from IITB. It happens very often with research that its impact is felt in real terms only after a few years. This is especially true when one considers the impact on one’s technical maturity and temperament. In my case, the research problems from my undergrad days had a significant impact on my PhD as well as on my research program during my early days as an academic. For instance, I started working on the application of bifurcation analysis to flight dynamics towards the end of my sophomore year, but continued working on related problems through my PhD, post-doc and the first couple of years as an academic. It was also largely thanks to one of the papers that I wrote on this subject as an undergrad that I was introduced a few years later to the exciting field of systems biology by one of my collaborators.

Taking stock of my undergrad research after over a decade, and having mentored and supervised students at all levels along the way, here’s what I have to offer by way of (hopefully, not entirely useless) advice. Use research to learn the big picture: as early- year undergrads, it is highly unlikely that you have any serious working knowledge of any engineering or scientific discipline, let alone a big picture view. Therefore, rather than aiming to make a splash (and I have seen a lot of students being more worried about this than anything else), use research to get a first-hand glimpse into the world of science and engineering. If you work diligently and systematically on one or two high- quality projects, you will understand how good researchers pose problems, how they formulate a solution, and how they assess their own work and plan the next steps. These are basic skill sets for not just a good scientist or engineer, but also for those who work outside of these fields. At the end of 4/5 years, if you emerge with good problem- solving skills, your research would have been well worth your time and effort.

By forcing you to persevere on a problem, research will help you cultivate that sense slowly but surely. It is a cliche that we are all wired differently. We like different sorts of things and not all of us are good at everything. Facebook and Twitter will incessantly advertise what your peers are up to, and some of it will get the thumbs-up from your friends. Do not be swayed by it. It’s great to think outside the box, but first, you need to be good at what’s inside. It is a characteristic of our times to seek instant gratification. Unfortunately, research does not work that way. More often than not, good researchers are also those who are able to go deep into their respective technical areas.

Research is a long-term venture, and ideas take several years to develop and mature. At your stage, you would do yourself a disservice if you seek instant gratification. You should be prepared to put in a lot of grunt work (see the previous point) and you have to read books and research papers thoroughly. More than the amount of information that you gather this way, it is important that you make sense of what you’ve read and how all of the concepts and tools are tied together. All of this takes time, and there are no shortcuts. Document everything systematically and learn to write well. Here’s yet another cliche: your research and ideas are only as good as your ability to communicate them. In the old days, schools would teach their students the importance of good writing skills: the rules of grammar and the appropriate vocabulary. This appears to have fallen out of fashion of late, with the consequence that an increasing number of research papers (especially ones coming from India and Asia at large) are unintelligible.

I beg your pardon if I do not end this piece soon…It started with all sorts of crazy questions in my mind – Am I cut out for research? Should I choose between MS and PhD? Can I switch fields? Whether or not I should apply for placements and a lot more...Having faced this dilemma for over a year, I was ascertained of pursuing a doctorate after my summer internship in Australia at the end of third year. The experience gave me unmatched satisfaction and resolved all the doubts I had. The freedom to drive the project and immense happiness derived by delving deep into a subject were priceless! The steep learning curve which posed enormous challenges and oftentimes, self-doubt and stress, started to cultivate in me - resilience and perseverance. It hasn't always been a smooth ride. Back in 2018, I had got accepted for an internship in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University for the summer. However, it was heartbreaking when I was not able to make it there because of an administrative error in the processing of visa documents at the university’s end.

With the little motivation I had left in me after all this and a lot of paranoia, I decided to pursue a research project on geothermal energy in the institute (#1). This turned out to be a game-changer, and there was no looking back! I am really grateful to my advisor, who has been supportive of whatever I do till date and has kept me motivated. I consider myself fortunate to have started my stint at research with such a wonderful person! This project turned out to be productive and took me to a couple of reputed scientific conferences in the US. I have learnt and grown immensely as a person while attending such conferences. From meeting the best scientists in the field, making new friends and connections to travel experiences, feedback on research – conferences provide an unmatched experience. It was very daunting and overwhelming for an undergrad to be thrown into an ocean and figure out the way to survive my first conference - one with 28k attendees! But at the end of that week, I was a different person! Such experiences made me realise how rewarding and humbling research can be. People are so curious to learn about each other’s work and provide constructive comments to improve your work (#2). That’s when a part of me started to decide that research is something I want to pursue further, and maybe a PhD would be a great way to go about it! My resolve was even stronger after I got back from my summer internship in Australia (#3) (my advisor there has been one of the kindest and most encouraging humans I have ever met). That is when I finally decided to apply to universities in the US and the UK for graduate studies! The first application for the Rhodes scholarship was extremely rewarding. The Rhodes scholarship is considered the world’s oldest and most prestigious scholarship. It gives one an opportunity to pursue graduate studies at the University of Oxford. With the stellar list of the past Rhodes Scholars – Bill Clinton, Tony Abbott, Michael Spence, Girish Karnad, Sanjeev Sanyal…to name a few - I thought that I wasn’t even good enough to apply in the first place! But I mustered the courage to at least apply and give it a shot so that I would never regret not applying! Just working on the personal statement taught me so much about myself. I got a sense of what I genuinely would want to do in life and most importantly, why I wanted to do something!

On the interview day, when I met my fellow interviewees, I felt so privileged to have made it there. Everyone was so good and (almost) perfect! They had done things I had never heard of. After a decent interview, I was relieved but told myself not to expect much since the competition was so fierce, and statistically, the chances were slim. People would say that if one clears this round, then they’re no less than a Rhodes Scholar, irrespective of the final results. With so much pressure and stress induced by waiting for ONE email, the struggle to maintain my sanity was real! Finally, after a seemingly interminable wait, I got ‘that’ email inviting me to the reception and final interview in Delhi! I could not believe it. I swear I couldn’t! I checked the email at least ten times to ensure that it was the right one! Turns out it was. This meant that I could not start my application to the universities in the US until November! I devoted even more time to prepare for this one now. I met with a lot of faculty, professionals and friends who were of great help and support to me. Fast forward to the day before the final interview in Delhi when the high-tea reception was hosted by the chairman – Mr. Gopalkrishna Gandhi (Former diplomat, Grandson of Mahatma Gandhi). I can’t really express how it felt to sit side-by-side with Mr. Gandhi, other renowned panellists and of course, my fellow finalists, 16 in all, including myself! All the other fifteen finalists were so exceptional and had done things I could never imagine doing! They were at the top of everything they did and yet so grounded. It was a humbling experience – to say the least. I already felt like a winner just for having made it there. The final interview for me didn’t go as I would have liked, and so were the final results. The five most deserving candidates were declared as the ‘Rhodes Scholars’, but I didn’t return with any regrets of not making it to the top-5. It has been, by far, the best experience I have had in my life. By this time, it was mid-November, and it was time to completely change gears and shift my focus on PhD applications to the universities in the US and wrap up my B.Tech. Project (BTP)! My BTP advisor has been very supportive and guided me to sail through both - BTP and applications. I had taken the GRE and TOEFL exams sometime in October – so did not have to worry about that ‘often-hyped’ part of the application.

Majority of the application deadlines ranged from Dec 1 to Dec 16 - a period of excessive outflow of money (applications are an expensive affair, but after all an investment!). Amidst all this, I could not forget that I had to prepare for an upcoming conference presentation in San Francisco, which would mean that I’d be away from Dec 5 to Dec 18. Working on the SoP was a blissful experience! I would keep mulling over each line for hours, send it for review to a great bunch of people who would always be there for me. It'd undergo edits until as late as a few minutes before the submission deadline! I learnt so much about my interests and further understood my reasons for going to grad school!

It was a great sign for me as the year came to a close THAN ANYTHING and the interview, which was more of a cordial discussion and getting to ELSE."" know my interests better, went well. While universities would typically start sending acceptances after around mid-Jan, I got two early acceptances – one of them being UC Berkeley, which happens to be one of the four dream applications I made. All right, so - one down, three more to go! Now I was pretty relieved. However, I became a little more restless. I got into an absurd habit of checking emails in the middle of the night (which is when most of the acceptances would be sent – thanks to the time difference!). Almost for a month, this went on. After I gradually got more acceptances, I took a step further and started setting up calls with students and faculty whom I’d be interested in working with at those schools. Almost daily, my time after lectures in the evenings would be occupied with these calls. I heard back from a potential advisor at Stanford University about my case being recommended for admission on one such evening. This was totally unanticipated.

Just two days after this note, I was shocked to hear of my acceptance so soon! That is one of the best memories I can think of. As time progressed, I also heard of rejections from Princeton and Harvard! It, of course, felt terrible but I told myself that ‘it’s okay!’ and be satisfied with what I had. I was still waiting to hear from the most ambitious program I’d applied to – PhD + MBA at MIT… Towards the end of Feb, I began to believe that this was all and I’d soon hear back of rejections from the remaining schools. A few universities wanted to know about the attendance to their visits! ‘Visit weekend’ – as it is popularly called, is an opportunity for the prospective students to visit the university in person and learn more about the life and culture there, apart from research and facilities. I remembered seniors telling me that they are a lot of fun and totally worth attending! You’re pampered (for the first and the last time), and the schools try their best to impress you and, as a result – convince you to accept their offer of admission. If you’re wondering, these visits are usually partially funded, and in some cases – completely funded (yes!). One such visit I was fortunate to attend (before the COVID-19 took over everything) was to UC Berkeley in mid-Feb! It was indeed a great experience - a fascinating, overwhelming one! The place, weather and most importantly, its people – were just the type I would love to be with! I had almost made up my mind on attending this school once I got back (just two days before the midsems). But maybe life had other plans! Some time amidst the mid-semester exams, an interview invite was sent by MIT Sloan. I was thrilled! I replied immediately (read: desperately), confirming my availability for the same. It was the first time I was faced with a B-School interview, and there’s a world of difference between a PhD interview and this one! I had to optimize my time between this one and studying for two, rather very difficult, exams on the days to follow. A trade-off had to be made, and I chose to sacrifice my sleep for a couple of days! Thankfully it worked out well! The interview was focused on behavioural questions and discussing my experiences. I was happy with the way I handled the questions, and it was a privilege, at the least to have interviewed! Early in the morning on Holi, I get the email of my dreams. Couldn’t have been a better day to get an admit to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Naturally, everyone was elated, and it took me a few days to believe this and gradually sink into the feeling! This also meant immense confusion and added difficulty in making a choice. I was never ready for such a difficult problem but at the same time understood that it was a good decision to have to make! With my supervisor in Australia (Prof. D. Rhodri Davies) THE STUDENT WHO GOT AN MIT ADMIT | PAGE 23 ",https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rc91IlWYC0l3u0GMlFN8u6P1Lqg3bp43/view?usp=sharing 723,,"I would abstain from venturing into the process of decision making since it’s a huge problem and another story in itself – shall leave it for another day! As I come to the end of this ‘monologue’, I think it’s important to stress a bit over a couple of things I have learnt through my way. PhD is a long commitment! The next 5-6 years of your life would be spent on ‘a’ problem – going deep into the subject while learning skills that’d make you a better researcher. So if the problem is not something you genuinely care about, then five years can seem to be a very long time! Hence, it is vital to find the right reasons and motivation to attend grad school. There is nothing very sacrosanct about doing research or pursuing your interests, as it might look like at the outset of it. In my opinion, it is just about our willingness and taking that one extra step to do something. For me, research is more about the process of learning and inquiry while working towards a scientific breakthrough. (Mind you, I say this before I have started grad school – hope to share similar but more refined views even after). Venturing into different domains of creativity and intellectual thinking is exciting. If I were to give one advice – it’d be ‘Do not hesitate to ask for help and reciprocate when the time comes. People are very kind and compassionate. It is important to be one of them. It is also important to explore as many things as possible before you shut some door for yourself!’ Finally, for the applications, the key point to remember is that no one part of your application is a singular deciding factor. You can easily make up deficits in one area with a stellar performance in another! Let me sign off by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to each individual whom I have come across since I have been shaped by learning from those interactions and experiences. It would be very hard to overstate how indebted I am to my family, teachers & mentors, and friends & peers! I hope this was an enjoyable read.

The US embassy put an administrative hold on my application as the project was in the Aerospace Department and came under “Technology Alert List”. After exactly a month, I got the J1 on my passport. This hold pushed my internship joining date to mid-June before which I “Worked from Home”. Yeah! I did that before it was cool. I was allowed to remotely access CU Boulder’s computers and work on them using VNC (Virtual Network Computing). Prof. Jansen was quite considerate of the situation and kept me engaged with goals via regular Slack meets. I finally flew to the US on 12th June, all set for my internship. Let’s talk about the work I did! The name of the project assigned to me was ‘NASA Wing-Body Junction’. So the background goes like this. NASA identified a region of separation through its studies on a German Aircraft DLR with F-6 wing configuration through experiments. Separation of flow occurs when there is an adverse pressure gradient meaning pressure opposite to the direction of flow. Of course, this is only one reason for separation. The separation that occurred in the trailing edge region of this aircraft was detrimental for the lift of the aircraft and hence the motivation to study it. Although the experimental results of this study are well established by NASA, it wanted my professor’s research group to do a computational study of it. My work was to use RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes) to model the problem. My work typically involved extracting velocity fields and pressure coefficient plots for various locations on the wing and the fuselage. The problem with RANS is that it does not accurately predict regions of separation and vortices even distantly because of the “averaging” and modeling that it does for every scale in the domain. Large Eddy Simulation (LES), on the other hand, models the very small scales of turbulence but resolves the larger scales. A Hybrid model, one which is documented in our paper, uses RANS to deal with regions where the flow is simple and LES otherwise. Direct Numerical Simulation is one that resolves all scales but is computationally intensive and may require a supercomputer to deal with seemingly simple domains. My professor and Ph.Ds under him were really cordial and helped me whenever some buggy codes stymied my work. We would have biweekly meets where we have to report our progress and discuss any issues or anomalies. I also had regular personal meets with the professor to understand the fundamental concepts behind any modus operandi during the course of the project. A short 20 minutes meeting too would be productive and enlightening. ""MY PROFESSOR AND PHD. STUDENTS UNDER HIM WERE REALLY CORDIAL AND HELPED ME WHENEVER SOME BUGGY CODES STYMIED MY WORK.""

During my stay in Boulder, I lived in a shared apartment. My roommate was from UC Berkeley and he was interning at Google. Outside working hours, I spent most of my time playing ping-pong, pinball or billiards at Google’s head office with my roommate. My evenings would be accompanied by cooking (cause vegetarian, duh), video calling friends and family or playing with a pet dog ‘Willow’. Weekend mornings would mean stepping out to bike towards Chautauqua trail or Boulder reservoir or the Boulder Museum. I also exploited my “Research Scholar” ID card to go for an occasional swim or a special Hawaiian pool party. Bowling there too was discounted for university employees and it sure was fun. I also visited ISKCON temples in Denver, Dallas and Austin with my cousin Dharmik. Temple visits were really energizing and enriching. There was prasadam, kirtan, reading of The Bhagavad Gita and dance too. I was lucky to have spent the July 4 long weekend in Colorado with my cousin. We went around to see Rocky Mountain National Park, Maroon Bells and the Aspen Meadows. July 4 fireworks in the football field of CU left me spellbound. The entire sky was lit, quite literally. CU Boulder is ranked as one of the most beautiful campuses in America. I was elated when I first took a tour of the campus. It has an aesthetic backdrop of Rocky Mountain National Park and almost all campus centers have sandstone walls and red tile roofs - all in a romantic Italianate style. Words are just not enough to describe its beauty! Boulder, unlike the metros like New York or LA, has a rustic feel to it and is filled with outdoor- oriented residents. People here are fitness freaks; every now and then you will encounter a couple running or biking. My guide too cycled all his way to the campus every day from his apartment which was 8 miles away; that is a 40-minute bike ride (just to clarify, bicycles are bikes in the US). Boulder is also one of the safest cities in the US. You are more likely to get your bike (or its spare parts) stolen from the parking than getting mugged in late hours.

I was interested in research in Machine Learning and I was grateful that I got an opportunity to work on a research internship at the National University of Singapore. I developed an interest in Computer Vision techniques and their applications quite early in my time here at IIT Bombay. I tried to cover the basics on Coursera and gained hands-on experience through my ITSP project. Since most of the Computer Science internships from PT cell for second-year undergraduates are based on Algorithms/Networking/Cryptography, I tried to get an internship through apping. The apping process requires a lot of patience. You might secure your dream internship in your first 5 emails or in some cases it might take 100s of emails. I tried to work on projects in the third semester and the winter vacation that followed to build up my resume and sent out emails to professors with matching research interests. In the end, my patience was rewarded after 6 weeks of apping when I was offered an excellent research opportunity in Computer Vision at NUS. I worked there on interactive instance segmentation techniques. For example, when you need to select an object of interest in a picture in a software like Photoshop, you input some clicks on the object of interest such that it is segmented out of the background.

These can be done twice, starting from your 3rd semester, till the 8th semester, and counts towards the Department Electives. Another way is to interact with the senior students and the professor, they are approachable and knowledgeable in their chosen fields. The Department conducts multiple seminars and workshops each month on diverse topics spanning Swarm Robotics to Analysis of Advanced Composite Materials to Autonomous and Cyber Physical Systems. Watch out for information on these on the Department mailing list. The Department Council promotes research in the form of Lab visits where you get to visit each and every lab in the department, Know Your Department sessions, where seniors talk about their chosen field of interest within the department and Apping sessions, where seniors talk about their apping experience for higher studies in Aerospace Engineering. Feel free to contact the Department Research Coordinator if you are motivated to take up a research engagement but don’t know which professor or lab to approach. - Banzal, Aerospace Engg. DRC CIVIL ENGINEERING The Civil Engineering Department council organizes various events throughout the year like ‘Know your Department’ in which faculties introduce the students about their specializations, their research and also encourage them to take up projects. Then there are Career Counseling sessions and sessions on a Semester Exchange as well. The Civil Engineering Department has introduced a SUPERVISED LEARNING PROJECT (SLP) for UG students of the Department. This project is similar to the BTP but the only difference is that it can be taken by any 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year students, while BTPs are only allowed for the 4th year students. The SLP runs under a course code of ‘CE 695: R&D Project’. Also, this year onwards credit-based summer internships have been started. The course code for the same is 'CE346' in which 3rd- year students doing a minimum of 2 months’ summer Core-internship, can tag it as a Department Elective. We have extended this credit- based internship to University Internships as well. - Komal Gaware, Civil Engg.

Let us begin with a brief outline of how the automatic warning system works. All accounts in the LDAP system have an account expiry date. This is set at the time of your account creation as per your expected tenure at IITB. There are various auotmated procedures for extending your tenure by way of updating the expiry date (please see below) and can even be updated manually by submitting some valid DOCUMENT for ACCOUNT EXTENSION at CC office. ,https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 1763,,"As the expiry date nears, automated mails are sent out every Monday morning alerting the user about the approaching expiry event. Roughly 4-5 such warnings are sent out (some users get irritated by such warnings but a majority of them want us to remind them) in order to inform the users and enable them to take action so as to get their tenure extended if needed. After these warnings the account (if not extended) continues to function for some time (i.e. the account enters a GRACE PERIOD) so that users can transfer their mails, and take backup of their files, etc. ",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 1764,,"Important Note: The expiry date of the accounts can be extended during the GRACE PERIOD too.

Upon completion of one's tenure at IITB (due to completion of degree, resignation/retirement or when they finally leave the institute,if on extension after retirement), normal LDAP services will continue to be available during SHIFTOVER (or GRACE) PERIOD (duration of this is dependent on user category; please refer to the table below). It is desirable that all users should, a few months before their above LDAP services are terminated, add a permanent, non-iitb email id to their signature in order to publicize the new email id and minimize loss of incoming emails.

This document tries to formally describe all the GROUP EMAILING mechanisms available in IITB. In this context, the notion of the “ALL” users need some explaining. In IITB we have centralized LDAP-based Email accounts. For such accounts, it is possible to do an exhaustive search over all accounts registered in the directory based on some criteria (or simply choose all from the directory) and then target an email to that selected set of users. ",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 1815,,"However, it is observed that there are sizable number of users who donot access LDAP based Email facilities and may even be unaware of its existence. Under such circumstances, it is meaningless to perform GROUP emailing to such accounts. In IITB, individual departments have their own email servers and may sometimes have created aliases to address “ALL” users in their respective departments. However, it is not clear as to which departments support this and who all are included in such aliases. ",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/ 1816,,"Under these circumstances, it is only meaningful to send such GROUP emails to HOSTEL/DEPARTMENT SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS and leave it upto them as to how they propagate that information to individual users.

DHCP servers have to be disabled on all Residential machines and Wireless Access Points/Wireless Routers. This means that you will have to provide static IPs to every computer at home, and not let the DHCP server provide the IP automatically. If a DHCP server is running, it generates broadcast over the entire network, announcing to other users its presence and allocates your range of IP addresses to potential trespassers. Such users will be able to use your wireless equipment to connect to the institute network and any possible misuse will be attributed to you. 2. Access control lists have to be configured on the Wireless Access Points/Wireless Routers to allow only specific set of mac addresses to be able to use your wireless equipment. This will allow only your own machines to use the WiFi equipment. Wireless access points have a access range of 100 m, and anybody in that range will be able to connect via your access point. Hence, it is essential to configure Access Control (User mac address filters) on the wireless devices.
