In an highly competitive marketplace, organisations need skilled professionals to interpret a growing stream and variety of data. Increasingly, industry is focusing on how "big data" can be used to help decision makers improve organisational competitiveness.
The MTech in Computer Science and Engineering programme’s Data Science and Analytics specialisation is designed to meet this growing need. Our students gain hands-on experience with a variety of analytical tools available for the purpose of structuring large data sets, to unearth hidden information and patterns key to enterprise. Students also gain experience using different software tools and functions, including data mining, predictive modelling, and visual analytics using large data sets. Commercial and open-source tools are used to conduct analyses and build prototypes using real-world case studies and data sets. Case studies cover building predictive models in a variety of industries.
On completion of the programme, the student will be enabled to:
Selected candidates will be offered financial aid on the basis of GATE scores or performance in the written test and interview. Such candidates will be provided financial assistance in the form of teaching assistantship.
Students are getting offers to become data scientists, data analytics specialists, and software engineers at reputed companies and research labs. Their experience spans Indian industry, from e-commerce, financial services and online retail to meteorology, agriculture and entertainment.
