India\u2019s first internship program on \u201cInternet of Things (IoT) and Smart Devices\u201d is a joint initiative by AppMob and enCypher Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (#enCypherTech). The objective of this seven-day internship program is to create awareness about the latest trends and technologies in the domain of the Internet of Things (#IoT) and thereby taking the students closer to the reality of the \u2018Smart World\u2019 (#smartworld).<\/p>\n
As we all know, the Government of India is working on an ambitious plan to create USD 15 billion ‘Internet of Things’ industry in the next six years. To achieve this, India requires a huge task force and this is where we stepped in. We, in this internship, are trying to bridge that gap through our internship program. The course is packed with Hands-on-experience of the integration of the 3 main components of the IoT i.e. Device, Network and Application (DNA). Speakers from various walks like academicians, research and development organisations and industry experts like Mr. Sai Kiran from Educonnect and Mr. Gunti Vijay, VP Sales and Marketing from Rukshaya Emerging Technologies, who have varied experience in the field, shared their knowledge with the students. Jayant Basantani, founder of Appmob said \u201cWith the mobile revolution, internet of things has become a necessity. With this initiative, we want to bridge the gap between students and technology giving them the real taste of smarter world\u201d<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Nikhil Mishra, Director of enCypher Technologies Pvt. Ltd. said that, being a product start-up in IoT domain, they are focussed on product oriented education for building the skilled work force for the same. \u201cOur country is moving towards the \u2018Smart City\u2019. We want to contribute in the \u201cMake in India\u201d campaign of our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji. By doing this we taking our youth a step closer to create the smart world. This will help in building the task force for the future.\u201d<\/i> he added.<\/p>\n

In these 7-days program, students learned how to create the structure for the smart world, right from the scratch to an end solution. They were given the insight of the infrastructure of the Internet of Things and were told how the latest technologies work. They first worked on hardware (Device) and then developed their own cross platform applications. After that through the concept of networking, they integrated these two and controlled their hardware through their own developed applications. Engineering\u2019s faculties and students were benefited by this course.<\/p>\n
Students from different colleges like IIT-B, IIT-H, IIIT-B, MIT, Amrita etc. attended this internship program. They were very happy to learn these new technologies and were happy to learn something exciting engineering stuffs apart from the usual boring theory classes. \u201cFrom the first day we thought it like another theory internship but later on it was more of practicality\u201d<\/i> said Sri Harsha, a 2nd year CSE student from IIT Bombay. \u201cThese teachers implicated the passion in us which give me a head start over the other students to start my own venture\u201d<\/i> said Varad Vishwarupe, a third year IT student from MIT Pune. \u201cWe were able to see the things we were working on practically. It was like a burst of knowledge for me\u201d<\/i> said a 3rd year CSE student at CMR CET, Hyderabad.<\/p>\n\n\t\n\t
