Big Data Education

I am not sure about Manipal University but software that are used for data analytics include R, SAS, and python. R is very easy to learn and you can get it for free. It also has a good supportive community.

Hi Shahrukh,
You must check the websites and write to the departments of different universities to see if they are currently or will in future pursue research work in data analytics. Some of the universities you can consider are Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Columbia University, MIT, NYU, UT Austin, Indiana University, University of Chicago, University of Waterloo, University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, and McGill University.

If you have relevant experience as Software Engineer or Domain Specialist or Business Analyst then PG certification in Big Data & Analytics is a good course which will help you to get better career opportunities. Freshers may have face challenges in getting entry into industry because of lack of experience.
