SOA and Microservices are very important topics in today's software industry. These topics are even more relevant because of the explosion of cloud, mobile and analytics usage everywhere and almost for everything with billions of devices and apps connecting with each other.

Mr. Peter Wiley, Chairman Emeritus, John Wiley & Sons was felicitated on Feb 11, 2018 by Federation of Indian Publishers for his Life Time Contribution in Publishing at a glittering ceremony held at the 32nd International Publishers Congress New Delhi.

The Wiley Library Awards is a one of its kind initiative in India bringing together the community and honoring the best in the field of library and information sciences, encouraging innovation and digital transformation efforts, and paying tribute to the community that helps spearhead knowledge dissemination in society. This year, there were more than 145 nominations from the various leading institutions including IITs, IIMs, NITs, IISERs, along with medical and research institutions. First instituted in 2016, each award carries a citation and cash prize of INR 25,000.

IIFT 2017 had a total of 114 questions as compared to 123 last year to be done in 120 minutes. But instead of 4 sections, they were increased to 6 independent sections with a compulsory sectional cutoff and negative marking (1/3rd).

First, the VA and RC were two separate sections with separate sectional cutoffs rather than combined in one section with a combined sectional cut-off. Furthermore, the weightage of marks for VA and RC questions were equal: one mark each, unlike previous years when VA questions had 0.75 mark each and RC questions had 1.0 mark each.
