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.

This is one of the great event organized by CE- IT dept. (AITS), where we have learnt lots of new

thing in IOT. The topic chosen by department is related to current trend of the Technology, so it

was a great opportunity for us to learn and enhance knowledge about IOT. Rohit Kanna has

enough content and quality is enormous.
