Activities of Department:

1. Key activities:

  1. Every year, the students of MSc BDS Part I are given an ORIENTATION at the start of their Masters. The orientation is based on the MSc Big Data Analytics Programme.
  2. PARENTS-TEACHER MEETING gives an opportunity to the parents to review the students’ performance for the previous semester. It also increases the interaction between the teachers and the parents.
  3. Every year the College felicitates the students who have graduated during GRADUATION CEREMONY.

2. Curricular: For the holistic development of students, various curricular activities are conducted like Presentation, Group discussion, Case study sessions, Seminars, Workshops, Projects.

Co-curricular: Co-curricular enrichment programs are conducted on Internships, Industrial visits, Team building activities, Alumni Tech Talk Series, Industry Experts Tech Talk Session, etc. In order to develop an aptitude for research we encourage students to participate in Avishkar Research Convention (Annual Inter Collegiate Event), Tech Srujan (Project exhibition), Discussion club.

4. E-waste Drive (Departmental Community out-reach programme): The objective of this drive is to raise awareness about electronic waste and promote responsible disposal practices. The drive extended beyond the college campus through the placement of E-waste bins at the Church gate railway station. Collaboration with other educational institutions resulted in E-waste contributions from neighbouring colleges and societies. This community outreach program emphasized the importance of collective action in addressing E-waste challenges. This event also serves as an excellent example of how organizations and institutions can come together to work towards a common cause.

Departmental Internship and Placement cell:

  • The prestigious placement cell of the department was established to place our fresh graduates into organizations and companies worth their calibre. Companies like Morgan Stanley, Deloitte, EY, Go Digital, Hansa Cequity, ICICI Home Financial, Aays Analytics, Pluckk etc. have offered PLACEMENTS for our student’s time-to-time.
  • Students have been selected for internships in various domains like Data Analytics, Business Analytics, Data science, Media Analytics, Data Engineer and many more. Based on the performance and successful completion of the internship, our students have received pre placement offers by companies.
  • It hosts seminars and workshops on various topics such as CV writing and verbal skill enhancement.

Departmental Discussion Club:

The Department of MSc Big Data Analytics, along with BSc. IT and BVoc. SD promotes the Research activities amongst the Students and Faculties under the roof of Discussion Club.

In Discussion Club we encourage the students to perform research activities with the help of Guest Lectures/ Webinars by eminent personalities in the area of research domain.

We guide the students to identify the different domains of research, tools required to write scholarly articles, and research ethics, procedure to present or publish the articles.
