Some important questions raised in the interview include :

What is the work done/ benefits under the institute network revamp? What is the purpose of smart switches?

In other institutes like IIT Roorkee, the hostels and the academic area has wi-fi access. Is something on the similar lines being planned for IIT Bombay?

What is the status of the new CC building and is there a possibility of CC shutting down Hostel Computer rooms when the new user hall in CC is ready?
