It caters to the specialized training needs of the Indian Railways' supervisors and officers in Railway Signalling and Telecommunication. It also trains officials of Foreign Railways.

Overview

In the first year of its existence it was concerned only with imparting training to Apprentices JE( junior engineers) Signal and Apprentice JE (junior engineers) Telecommunication, but subsequently, in view of the rapid developments in the field of Signaling and Telecommunication, several specialised technical training needs of Officers and Staff of Signal and Telecommunication Department in Signal Engineering, Telecommunications Technology, Electronics and Information Technology Training have also been introduced. Facilities available in this Institute are also extended to foreign nationals.

The IRISET is one of six Centralised Training Institutes that share the task of training of officers. The other Centralised Training Institutes are:

  • Indian Railways Institute of Civil Engineering, Pune for civil engineers,
  • Indian Railways Institute of Electrical Engineering, Nasik for Electrical Engineers,
  • Indian Railways Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering & Jamalpur Gymkhana, Jamalpur for mechanical engineers
  • Indian Railways Institute of Signal and Telecommunications Engineering, Secunderabad for engineers of S&T department,
  • RPF Academy Lucknow, for officers of Railway Protection Force and
  • As the alma mater the Railway Staff College (Now called National Academy of Indian Railways), Vadodara functions as the apex training institute for the officers of all departments in general and Accounts, Personnel, Stores, Traffic and Medical departments in particular.

gollark: Pretty much all of the algorithms reduced size by ~50% or so and the difference is maybe 5% or so between them all, so this is definitely premature optimization, but bees?
gollark: I tested four different compression algorithms and brotli did fairly well; I would have used zstandard but the node bindings for it are awful, and brotli actually did do better on small inputs.
gollark: For example, it stores created/updated timestamps in a way which allows them to be looked up more quickly, makes it faster to look up the latest revision of stuff, allows me to do compression (I implemented brotli compression to reduce storage requirements a lot), and allows revisions to have data and represent stuff other than "the page content changed".
gollark: The new version *is* better, even if it involves something like 70 lines more code.
