Over the last few years, a lot of bleeding-edge ideas have emerged onto the scene and risen to prominence in fairly dramatic fashion, but few can argue that they've clocked as much importance as data. Now, while data wasn't some new idea, arrival of new-age data analytics tools would go on to change its foundation stature and allow it to penetrate every sector imaginable. In an effort to continue that momentum, CGC University, Mohali, has brought forth - in close collaboration with IBM - a dedicated MCA (Data Science) program aimed at fostering a deep understanding of the dynamics dictating data across the board. On a more practical note, the programme in question will teach students about advanced data analytics and AI-powered technologies. Beyond that, it'll also work on strengthening your grasp over a variety of industry-accepted tools like Watson Studio, Cognos Analytics, and SPSS Modeler, among others. The programme walks students through the functionality of popular platforms like Hadoop, Spark, Power BI, Tableau, MySQL, etc.

Along side such an extensive curriculum, MCA - Data Science at CGC University, Mohali, will include IBM certified modules, access to the company’s unmatched tech ecosystem, capstone projects that address real world problems, and workshops headed by IBM professionals. Making the proposition even more attractive, there is CGC University, Mohali’s own leading infrastructure, that covers skill development zones, smart workshop facilities, etc, with each component working in sync to ensure a top-notch learning experience for students. Not just that, studying at CGC University, Mohali, also allows academic development under the guidance of an internationally-recognized faculty, which hails from some of India’s best institutions.

Anyway, once all these components are combined, the resulting reality will tread up a long distance to prepare students for roles of Data Scientist, AI Engineer, Business Intelligence Analyst, Machine Learning Engineer, and more.
