Data analytics refers to the process of investigating datasets to conclude. Data Analytics is one of the emerging areas of the IT industry and can be applied across disciplines ranging from science, technology, business or even arts. Big Data Analytics is a phrase tossed recently to tackle the sheer volume of data generated in the modern world. Data Science and Big Data Analytics combine statistical methods for inferring patterns from crude data, database technologies for storing and retrieval of data; intelligent technologies to extract knowledge and visualization for easy analysis and better understanding. Data analytics enables one to generate information and thereby knowledge from large quantities of incomprehensible data. The postgraduate programme in data analytics is intended to offer hands-on training in data analytics, data mining and knowledge discovery methods using machine learning technologies and their application to practical problems.

The course aims at developing quality human resources in data analytics and with hands-on experience in machine learning and deep learning technologies to cater for the needs of government, industry and scientific organizations in the subject area. The course will also provide necessary training to develop professionals and leaders of high calibre, imbued with values of entrepreneurship, ethics and social responsibility.
