About

This page contains a checklist of tasks for new students joining the group. Please ask other students for help with any of these tasks, and you can always ask one of the staff members or faculty. Do not hesitate to ask questions! The instructions for IT resources are only for assistance, for official help see the Computing and Communication Services (CCS) Page

Basic Email and LDAP:

1. IITDH uses the Google Suite for official email. Please reset your password as soon as you get access to your account. This username/password will be used for all Google Suite Tools.
2. You will also be given an LDAP account - this is used to access all non-google resources, like the institute WiFi/LAN, Git Repositories, FTP service,
3. If you use Linux, please add the institute repos to your package manager. This enables your OS to install packages from the local server instead of having to download all packages from the internet, and greatly speeds up installation and update.
4. We use Slack messenger as a fast and convenient chat tool. See instructions here.

Subscriptions and Permissions:

1. PEG students should join Slack messenger and make sure that they are subscribed to the power-students slack channel
2. PEG students must make sure they are subscribed to the PEG Mailing Email List here.
3. Visit the PEG webpage and add/update your details there.
4. See the Events page for past and upcoming events
5. Periodically watch the Conference Calendar to see which conferences are coming up and when the deadlines are. Publishing is the yardstick by which research is measured (whether one agrees with it or not).
6. Check that you have access to the Shared Drive on Google Drive which contains lots of resources related to the group.
7. Learn to use Git and set up your account on gitea.iitdh.ac.in. See instructions here
8. Get yourself added to the PEG-All group on IITdh-Gitee

Misc:

1. Use Google Drive to backup / store work data regularly - set aside a time to do so each week and make it a habit right at the beginning of your program. Purchase an external hard drive if needed as a second backup.
2. Systematically "learn" to be a good researcher. Some resources are here and here
