Linux Project at IPSR Selected as Best Academic Project

IPSR, through its OSBRC (Open Source Based Research Centre) offers free Linux based projects for students, along with their RHCE. Since its inception in December 2010, OSBRC has helped many students take up unique projects for their academic requirements.


Mr. Libin Balan, Mr. Anup Shaji , Mr. Jeeno Mathew Jacob and Mr.Thomas Chacko, who are BE students at Sri Nandhanam College Of Engineering And Technology, Tirupattur, Tamil Nadu had chosen IPSR for their academic project, because of our strength in Linux and Open Source.

IPSR also offers all kinds of academic project assistance to MCA & B Tech students and during the previous year also, projects of our students were chosen as best projects in various campuses.

We congratulate Libin, Anup, Jeeno & Thomas on this achievement, along with all team members at OSBRC.

Another Testimonial from a Professional

We have helped thousands of students with their certifications and even now, we get thrilled when we get a good testimonial.

It was so, when Mr. Bennis Abraham spoke to us. Bennis was a student during March 2011 and certified RHCE. He is a Unix system Specialist with the Macy's Group (Macy's Systems Technology) in USA.
 

Thank God for IPSR.

I joined IPSR and did a crash course for three days and on the fifth day I passed my RHCE examination. I could say training, troubleshooting and the mock examination at IPSR would be best in the world. I recommend IPSR to everyone who is planning to pursue a career in computers.

I am thankful to God, IPSR Team and my family for helping me to get a RHCE certification.

 
Thank you Bennis, for your inspiring words.

40th RHCSS & 5th RHCDS from IPSR

We knew this is coming, but that does not lessen the delight. It happened on 30^th March, 2011, two days before Team India lifted the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.

IPSR Edappally hosted another EX423 (Directory Services and Authentication) Exam and 3 of our students passed, with Mr. Mohsin Hakkim A.A securing a 100% result. Mr. Mohsin is the System Admin Manager at Keltron, Cochin and was a student in our 25^th RHS 429 Batch & 28^th RHS 333 batch.

Satisfied with the success, he joined the RHCSS batch at IPSR, Kochi North and completed the RHS333 (Enterprise Network Services Security), RHS429 (SELinux Policy Administration) and RH423  (Enterprise Directory Services and Authentication) modules.

5^th RHCDS

Another milestone that we passed with this EX423 exam was the 5^th RHCDS from IPSR. It was a while, since we had our 4th RHCDS and Mr. A. V Radhakrishnan from Palakkad had made us proud. He is an Ex. Service Man, with 20 years of experience with Indian Air Force. He was the Senior In Charge of Net & IT, while he was releaved from duties. He completed the EX401 (Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management), EX436 (Clustering and Storage Management) and now the EX423 (Directory Services and Authentication) exams to be our 5th Red Hat Certified Datacenter Specialist.

First RHCSA & RHCE 6 exams at IPSR

The very first RHCSA & RHCE 6 exams (EX 200 & RH 302) at IPSR were conducted at IPSR North (Edappally), on 28^th March 2011.
The results are not much different. It is again a 100% pass. Every candidate who appeared for the RHCSA and RHCE have passed with good scores.

The student community seems to be slightly hesitant over wetting their legs in the new RHEL 6 waters. But we have always been positive about the new changes and our faculty were trained in RHEL 6 during December 2010 itself. Some of faculty team members had also certified themselves as RHCE in RHEL 6.

Following are the students who were certified as RHCSA

1. Mahesh.S
2. Sreejith.G.Pillai
3. Anu Prem
4. Abdul Raheem Chalil
5. Kurian Mathew Thayil
6. Sreekumar.K.R
7. Jayamohan.G

Since pass in EX 200 (RHCSA) is not a must for appearing in RH 302 (RHCE), most of the above students appeared for RHCE and it again was a 100% pass. (But pass in RHCSA is a must for obtaining the RHCE certification. Please check out our RHEL6 FAQs)
Following students were certified as RHCE

1. Mahesh.S
2. Sreejith.G.Pillai
3. Anu Prem
4. Abdul Raheem Chalil
5. Kurian Mathew Thayil

We wish them all success in their careers.
