Course Overview

Investment interests are being observed by companies of all sizes in building Big Data capabilities to add value to their core business operations. Thus, the demand for Big Data Engineers skilled in Arithmetic, Business Management, and Technology is experiencing incremental developments. Moreover, especially applicable in developing nations, there is a lack of aptly skilled Big Data Engineers. Hence, recruiters are usually left with vacant spots in their organizations. This is where they are willing to chalk out very impressive remunerations for professionals in this field.

Globally, the advent of data and the kind of insights it can bring about is gold-dust, thereby catching the attention of businesses. Moreover, the quantum of data being tapped into has come a long way in the last 5 years and is only increasing every quarter. Additionally, there needs to be systems in place that can extract actionable insights from the data. It is then that it benefits the organization in its truest sense.

The Post Graduate Certification Program in Big Data Engineering will introduce the participants to the role of Linux, SQL, and Java in this arena. Moreover, there will be two Mid-Program projects and a final Industry-grade exposure. These facets will enable students to have a very realistic experience. Moving on, the Big Data Engineering program will dwell into the building blocks for big data, followed by Distributed and Parallel computing.
