Outcome of the Seminar
The seminar was meticulously planned and the objective was to give clear insight on
implementation details and issues of IoT and facilitating students to kick start the implementation
by participants. Mr. Rohit in his session explained everything basics about IoT, including
architecture, framework, protocols etc. Followed by that he had demonstrated how to integrate
sensor and take decision based on sensor data. Most of the time in a session was spent on exhibiting
the things, so it became interactive and engaging. Participants were having clear idea on various
aspects of IoT, which is also reflected in the feedback received by various participants.
Feedback on Seminar
Resected Sir, the seminar was very good. Rohit sir gave the actual crucks of IoT. He started
from the very basic level that was very good. Other new terms like AR-Augmented Reality, Big
Data, and Cloud were also precisely mentioned by Principal of CDAC (Aditya Sinha Sir).
Requesting you to keep on arranging this type of seminar cum workshops on the latest technology
so that even if we cannot be master but at least we can have the basic clear idea. This kind of
seminar is greatly useful for placement preparation also.
-Monali Minipara
The content of the seminar was very much clear to us. We are also happy that we are moving
in the correct direction in our project on IOT as the content was much similar to the work we
are implementing. Thanks to you and the department and university for providing such a great
seminar to us. It was very useful especially to our project team members.
-Prashant Sahatiya
It was great pleasure to be a part of that seminar cum workshop. After participating in this event,
I explore the new possibility in the field of IoT. First the IoT concept is cleared by the faculty,
we have enjoyed. It is also good as it involve practical. The environment of AITS is attractive.
Thanks to AITS and GTU-CDAC for organizing such event.
-Shyam Modi
The content of the seminar is really very good. After the seminar I found the way of how
to implement IoT and the content is totally practical based and from the scratch that anyone
can understand.
-Aksh Patel
The seminar was very good and I'm glad to have attended it. The trainer was able to
communicate with the students very well and explained the contents in a detailed manner. It
would have been better if the seminar was for a lengthier duration although.
