Why SP Jain's Big Data & Visual Analytics?

From Data Mining, Machine Learning and Cloud Computing to Linux, Algorithmic Training and Internet of Things – over the course of 8 months, SP Jain’s BDVA program takes you deep into every aspect of Big Data. And, not simply from a theoretical perspective, but also through practical, real-world projects and industry internships that help students, especially those with little or no work experience, supplement their academic knowledge with real-life industry experience, make meaningful contributions to companies, build strong professional contacts and explore full-time career opportunities.

Big Data is not just another fad. In an increasingly digital world, Big Data plays a very important role in driving decisions, innovation and productivity in large multinationals, non-profits and governments. It is being used to analyse social media trends to formulate election strategy, evaluate meteorological data to predict the weather or even to analyse retail data to drive more sales.
 
S P Jain’s one-of-a-kind professional program enables students to develop a thorough understanding of Data Analysis, rapidly adapt to the changing role of Information Sciences and bring in creative solutions to tackle the challenges that arise in modern business.
 
There is real value that can be extracted from analysing data and on graduating from this program, you will be able to help organisations:
  • Develop better strategies, improve operational efficiencies, reduce costs and terminate risks
  • Make information transparent and usable at much higher frequencies
  • Enable the collection of more accurate and detailed performance information on products, services and therefore, expose variability and boost performance
  • Allow finer segmentation of customers and enable customisation of products and services
  • Help in the development of the next generation of products and services

We offer an intellectually stimulating classroom environment steered by front-runners in business and academia who nurture participants to initiate, develop and launch ideas. These include industry experts, business leaders, visionary thinkers, innovators, strategists, researchers, entrepreneurs, pioneers and executives who have been the key enablers of innovation at leading multinational organisations.

In the last seven years of our short but decorated fourteen-year-old history, SP Jain and its programs have been ranked by reputed international publications. Our 1-year Global MBA program has been ranked by three of the world’s top four MBA rankings – Forbes, Financial Times and The Economist. In each of these rankings, we are amongst the youngest schools featured – an accomplishment we attribute to our unique and innovative model of business education.
