Why this Bootcamp
Work on Real-life Data Science Problems
Take your career headon by working on projects using a competency based learning paradigm. Quality of time spent and the outcome is far more important than the quantity.
Work 1:1 with a Mentor
We pair you with a mentor who has extensive professional and academic knowledge of the field. You’ll have one-on-one conversations with your mentor, and receive useful feedback on improving your work.
We Will Keep You Engaged
Our mentors are here to keep you motivated, answer questions, provide feedback, and help deepen your understanding of essential tools and techniques. Learn with live online classes and face to face sessions. Learning is best when you are able to ask the questions and clarify your doubts with the faculty.

Sample Projects
1. Run MapReduce tasks, e.g. word count; run a ranking algorithm, run graph Pregel (shortest path) algorithm.
2. For an enterprise profile select and suggest the enterprise Big Data Infrastructure, services and components. Also create a Data Management Plan (DMP) and cost assessment and deployment plan.
Projects and Skillathons
Group project on enterprise Big Data infrastructure: Data Management Plan (DMP), Cost assessment and deployment plan, Security and compliance issues, data protection- Capstone Skillathon
Learn to work with Amazon Web Services cloud; cloud services overview EC2, S3, VM instance deployment, and access.
Run MapReduce tasks, e.g. word count; run simple ranking an algorithm, run graph Pregel (shortest path) algorithm (individual assignment)
Work with Big Data analytics services, Deploy and run HDInsight Hadoop cluster, test HBase and Hive queries, and run simple data analysis tasks.
Ability to be learn hands on with real industry data and delivering insights to industry jury is the best part of the program. Data Science and its application for Decision Science with practitioner faculty is the biggest highlight of the program. Strongly Recommend it.
