3 Overview The Big Data Analytics Center (BDAC) is an interdisciplinary center set up under the aegis of the School of Natural Sciences (SoNS), Shiv Nadar University (SNU) in Big Data refers to the collection of data sets whose scale, diversity and complexity require new architecture, techniques, algorithms and analysis to manage it, and extract value and hidden knowledge from it. Use of information has become central for the survival and development of the human race. Today we experience a true deluge of data which record and shape our lives, ranging from large global issues such as climate change to the smallest local problem such as controlling a thermostat. The critical screening and processing of Big Data has become a world-wide effort, requiring academic attention from diverse disciplines. The challenge is to develop theoretical and innovative scientific and technological solutions to cater to the needs of the industry, the society and the environment. Given the wide gap between demand and supply of scientists, technologists and key experts in the domain of Data Analytics today, BDAC has initiated graduate (post-graduate diploma and Masters degree) programs to prepare the interested young minds for the academic analysis of such Big Data and its applications in the society today, from business concerns to social practices and cultural change. The integrated model of BDAC provides a unique opportunity to young aspirants from different academic disciplines and executives from the corporate world to explore the possibilities of next generation solutions in the emerging discipline of Big Data Analytics. Integrated Model of Big Data Analytics SNU In the view of ever more rapid technological developments in the digitalized world, with new solutions becoming obsolete every few years, the emphasis in our programs is to hone the ability to recognize, define and find solutions to such fundamental problems in an analytical way, to take a leading role in shaping the future society. Program Objectives The theoretical and practical mix of the Big Data Analytic programs has the following objectives: Develop in-depth knowledge and understanding of the big data analytic domain. Analyze and solve problems conceptually and practically from diverse industries, such as manufacturing, retail, software, banking/ finance and pharmaceutical. Big Data Analytic Center Page 3
4 Undertake consulting projects with significant data analysis component for better understanding of the theoretical concepts from statistics, economics and related disciplines. Undertake industrial research projects for the development of future solutions in the domain of data analytics to make an impact in the technological advancement. Use advanced analytical tools/ decision-making tools/ operation research techniques to analyze the complex problems and get ready to develop such new techniques for the future. Allow a flexible option especially for job holders to complete a P.G. Diploma in Business & Data Analytics (1 year program), and continue to a Master of Science Degree in Data Analytics (2 years total). Program Coordinators Mr. Narender Dureja, HCL, Noida, and Dr. Santosh Singh, Department of Mathematics & Head, BDAC, School of Natural Sciences, SNU. Course Design Postgraduate Diploma in Data and Business Analytics (One Year) The program consists of ten courses and a project. These courses are divided in two semesters. There are eight core courses and two elective courses. A wide range of electives will be offered to best suite the choice and interest of a student. The appropriate training and usage of SPSS Statistics and SAS Enterprise Miner will be part of the course contents and course structure. The customer-based industrial project will help in broadening and in-depth understanding of the theoretical concepts, and use a practical approach to solve a real-life complex problem. In certain courses, case-based teaching will be adopted. Master of Science Degree in Data Analytics (Two Years) The program consists of ten courses in the first and second semester. Out of ten courses, eight are core courses and two are elective courses. The elective courses will have a wide range in the big data analytics to suite the research interest of the student.

Why should I choose to take a program in data analytics? The recent years have seen an exponential growth of digital data. In the next decade the total digital data is expected to cross 35 zettabytes (1 zettabyte = bytes). There will be a huge requirement for qualified educated data scientists, data analysts and data managers to manage the data and provide real time solutions to deal with the technological, social and business challenges. Many surveys have shown that more than 4.4 million jobs in the area of Big Data Analytics will be created in the coming years. There is a huge opportunity for young graduates and budding professionals to prepare themselves to make a difference in the domain of Big Data by handling the technological and social challenges from different perspectives. SNU, an emerging premier university in India, has deigned two different programs to bridge the gap between demand and supply in the domain of business and data analytics. These programs educate and trained the students on the latest software tools, and in depth technological understanding of critical processing of the data. Hence, it enables them to take up various positions in the domain of business and data analytics. 2. How to decide for admission in M.S. in data analytics or in PG Diploma in data and business analytics? Both the programs have their unique value and have been designed to cover up the wide range of candidates interested. Those students and working professionals who are interested in understanding the technological concepts, fundamentals and get trained themselves with the latest software tools and techniques behind the Big data, for them one year PG Diploma in Business and Data Analytics is best suitable program. On the other hand those students who would like to explore and develop the new algorithms and techniques, two years Master of Science in Data Analytics will be best suited. M.S. program will also open up a path for pursuing Ph.D. Big Data Analytic Center Page 8
9 3. Are both the programs a distance education, online or full time program? PG Diploma and M.S. are full time programs. The curriculum apart from class-room teaching includes significant portion of practical, group projects and assignments. 4. Will the students get to work on live projects with companies? Project is an integral part of the curriculum to reinforce the classroom learning. Students will work in groups on industry assigned projects. 5. What kind of companies will come to campus for placement and what will be the profile? As we are going to start the first session in August 2014, and the Career Development Center at SNU is dedicated engage and negotiate with different companies in the relevant domain for both summer internships and final placement of the students. 6. Are both the programs approved? The Shiv Nadar University has been set up through an Act of the State of Uttar Pradesh and is also recognized by the UGC. Being a program of the Shiv Nadar University it is not necessary for the PG Diploma and M.S. program offered by the Big Data Analytics Center in the School of Natural Sciences to be approved by any other organization/ body. We follow all UGC guidelines. 7. Who will teach the courses? The Big Data Analytics Center (BDAC) at SNU is a research center. In this center, we have a good pool of renowned faculty and researchers from within SNU, and also IIT professors and industrial experts as adjunct/guest/visiting faculty who will teach the core and elective courses. 8. Whom should I contact for further queries? Dr. Santosh Singh, Head, Big Data Analytics Center, School of Natural Sciences, SNU, Shiv Nadar University P.O., Gautam Buddha Nagar, UP , India.
