Internships: Internships will be offered to the interested students where focused problem definitions will be provided to them. Working on these problems will allow the students to work on a part of a larger research problem, and equip them with technical and non-technical skills that are required in the industry and academia.

Future events planned:

  • Student Internships: The Centre for Distributed Computing aims to have tie-ups with Industry and Hospitals in and around Bengaluru. Through these, we aim to provide summer internships to our under-graduate students in industry or within the center.
  • Guest Lectures – by Industry Experts to our undergraduate students & research scholars on upcoming, relevant topics. A few topics have also been identified for immediate delivery.
