Bengaluru, 14 November 2025: The Faculty of Engineering and Technology at JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), in collaboration with the Turing Club of AIML and the CyberMart Club of CPS, hosted the Industry Connect: IntelliSource Workshop 2025 with RedHat on 14 November 2025 at the Global Campus. The workshop brought together first-year students from the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) and Computer Programming and Systems (CPS) programmes for a day of intensive learning led by RedHat industry professionals.

The event was structured into two sessions to accommodate a large cohort of participants. The morning session (10:45 AM–12:45 PM) engaged students from AIML A & B and CPS, while the afternoon session (1:15 PM–3:15 PM) catered to students from AIML C, D, and E. RedHat experts Mr Arkadip Maitra, Mr Sumantro Mukherjee, and Mr Abhishek Nandy facilitated both sessions, offering demonstrations, hands-on problem-solving activities, and in-depth discussions on open-source technologies, enterprise Linux systems, and cloud-native development.

The workshop was coordinated by Dr Archana Sasi and Prof Puja Das, with support from Prof Chandrashekar Venkatachalam, Programme Head of AIML, and Prof Shajahan, Programme Head of CPS. Their leadership and planning ensured the smooth execution of all academic and practical components of the event.

A formal Valedictory Session was held in the afternoon, presided over by Dr Kamlesh Tiwari, Head of the Department – CSE. Addressing the gathering, he highlighted the growing importance of open-source ecosystems in global technology development and encouraged students to engage deeply with industry-led learning opportunities. He also commended the clubs, faculty coordinators, programme heads, and RedHat resource persons for creating a meaningful and industry-relevant learning platform.

Dr Tiwari remarked: “Workshops such as IntelliSource strengthen the bridge between academia and industry. They empower students to understand real-world technological challenges and inspire them to innovate with confidence. The enthusiasm displayed by our first-year cohort today reflects a promising future for open-source learning at our institution.”

During the Valedictory Session, prizes were awarded to winners of the technical challenges conducted during both sessions, recognising their performance, engagement, and problem-solving abilities.

The IntelliSource Workshop 2025 concluded on a successful note, marked by enthusiastic student participation and valuable insights from RedHat experts. The collaboration between the Turing Club and the CyberMart Club underscored the university’s commitment to fostering industry-aligned learning experiences and strengthening students’ preparedness for emerging technological domains. Future editions of the workshop are planned to further expand these opportunities.
