A guest lecture was conducted on Big Data Analytics; Dr. Praveen Kumar Yechuri, Assistant professor & manager-training & Placements, VJIT and Dr. A. Swarna, Assistant Professor, VJIT was the resource persons. The students gained insights into Big Data concepts, characteristics and its significance in various industries. Students understood how Big Data works with cloud platforms, including SAAS,PAAS and IAAS models and Hands-on experience with Hadoop tools like pig, HBase and Cassandra for real-world data Analysis. The session provided valuable insights into industry trends, carrer opportonities and essential skills in Big data Analysis.
WORLD DATA SCIENCE DAY was conducted on 13th March.2025
The objective of Data Science Day was to create an interactive platform where students could explore and deepen their understanding of data science concepts. The event aimed to enhance problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills through engaging activities and competitions. It also sought to provide real-world insights into the applications of data science and highlight the career opportunities within the field. By incorporating hands-on learning through events like Data Charades, the Quiz, and the Debugging Challenge, the day encouraged active participation and skill development. Additionally, it aimed to foster connections between students and industry professionals through expert talks and networking opportunities
Data Charades, Connections, the Quiz Competition, and the Debugging Challenge.
In the Data Charades activity, 11 teams participated in a game where they had to guess data science-related words from clues. Each round lasted 10 minutes, and the objective was to help students become more familiar with data science concepts in a fun way. The team with the most correct guesses was declared the winner
Another team-based event,
Connections, also involved 11 teams. Participants were shown images related to data science on a projector and had to identify the connection between them. The goal of this activity was to enhance students' ability to link different data science technologies and applications. The team that identified the most correct connections won the event.For individual participants, the event offered the Quiz Competition and the Debugging Challenge.The Quiz Competition consisted of multiple-choice and short-answer questions that covered a range of topics including data science, AI, and Python. This quiz was designed to test students' theoretical and practical understanding of these concepts. The person with the highest number of correct answers was the winnerThe Debugging Challenge was another individual event that presented participants with 10 coding- related debugging questions. The primary goal was to improve students' problem-solving and debugging skills in programming. The individual who solved the most errors correctly won the challenge.
The events were a huge success, with active participation from students in all activities. The guest speech by Abhishek Mehta, an industry expert, also provided students with valuable career guidance and insights into the real-world applications of data science. Finally, trophies and certificates were presented to the winners of each event, as well as a special recognition for the overall top scorer.
