We have started the online registration for our Annual Summer Program – “Summer Program 2010”.
We have not included any new venue this year, but I am very sorry to inform that this year we will not visit Sikkim. We tried our best to make it happen but the frequent political disturbance in the region forced us to withdraw the venue this year. I am looking forward for returning to Sikkim in next year or if possible for Winter 2010.
Schedule for Summer 2010 as follows: First we head for IMT Ghaziabad, like last year IMT is the first program for summer 2010, starts on 15th May. Though we don’t have any exclusivity for any program or any quota system, we will request all students from IIT, NIT, ITBHU, BITS-Pilani, BITS-Mesra & IIIT to register for this venue.
The second in line is BITS-Pilani Goa Campus starts on 29th May, last year our water sports got spoiled because of rough sea condition, hope the same will not be the case for this year. In any case we have kept back-ups – (sorry I can tell you what that’s the back-up plan you know). I am looking forward for a high-voltage party on Santa Monica.
After the IMT Ghaziabad first program team will head for LNMIIT Jaipur campus (12th June). It’s the third year in a row for LNMIIT campus. Looking forward for lots of excitement (let me confirm Jaipur is Santu sir’s favorite venue). I am sure this time also Jaipur will be the first venue to get filled up, I don’t know the chemistry that’s what it is. I am personally looking forward for the trip to Choki Dhani, Rajsthani foods at its best.
Next the jewel, XIM Bhubaneswar, it’s the 7th year in a row for the venue. Personally my favorite not for any adventure sports or party or anything – it’s simply Dr. G. K. Nayak, my mentor, my guide, 5 minutes with him, trust me its more than a course. Let me give you guys a little secret, Nettech today, whatever it is – credit goes to Dr. Nayak. Nettech is a result of all those discussion I had with Sir, during my stay at XIMB. (2005 I have passed out from XIMB). Timing for the XIM Bhubaneswar is changed this year, we had problems with BPUT dates for last couple of years, so we scheduled our XIMB program dates such, BPUT will have less influence on the same. It starts on 22nd June. For the record XIMB used to be the first program for our summer season once upon a time. If I can recall correctly we started once as early as 27th April. Only hope that the university will be able to maintain their schedule in future.
Next is IMT Ghaziabad again, this time it’s a non-residential program starts from 8th July just after the LNMIIT campus.
And last but not the least we will be back in Kolkata for a non-residential program at Birla Institute of Technology, Kolkata Extension Centre. The program starts from 16th of July. Lost of Rasogolla and a fun trip of city of joy to sign-out summer 2010.
Looking forward to meet some of the best brain in the country, and some of the best times of my life.

A Classic example of T10 (ten minutes – ten marks). I know lot of you will still say it’s harsh on students. 10 minutes is too less a time to solve – but what happened today will help you to change your view a bit.
This is the true story of the topper of the batch, Utsav Basu, IEM, Kolkata. Topper of winter 2009 Nettech Kolkata program. For all of you who think 10 minutes is too less, this guy got 10 out of 10 in all lab tests till yesterday, then this happened. Trust me, getting 10 in all the tests, where Santu sir is ever-ready with his Bam___ its tough, I know it, I can vouch for it. I really feel sorry for Utsav, it should have been a 100% record in all lab test (a record of its own).
The test paper was relatively easy, it was an individual test, create 3 users with your loginid as aloginid, bloginid and cloginid. Then create a folder dataloginid in “/” inside the data folder create another folder driver. Now allow all there users to access dataloginid where they can view files but can’t create or delete. Inside driver aloginid and bloginid can create and delete where as cloginid can only view and read. Design the file structure and share the same on Samba for windows access.
Utsav did everything right, all permission, user, password, samba share. But the group name he used was 1 and 2 for the job.
I give below, sequence of commands he used for the user and group creation.
groupadd 1
groupapp 2
useradd –G 1,2 aloginid
useradd –G 1,2 bloginid
useradd –G 1 cloginid
There was no error. He never checked the /etc/group file or never used the groups command to check the group membership, as he was sure he was right.
But useradd command took the group name 1 and 2 as the groupid instead of group name. So according to those ids the groups are bin and daemon respectively. So aloginid and bloginid became member of bin and daemon rather than the group 1 and 2.
His group permission was correct (chgrp) his samba share was also precise, but he ignored the quality control and as a result 100% record marks also went with those two bin and daemon group.
I am sure, he can forget us, forget Nettech but bin and daemon and the groupid he will never forget. I will say T10 has served its very purpose.
