Qlik in association with Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology ( VJIT) launched its first ‘Centre of Excellence- powered by Qlik’ in IT city, also called India’s Genome Valley, Hyderabad on 11 September 2017.
This Centre was jointly inaugurated by the Chairman of VJIT and Anurag Institutions, Dr. P Rajeshwar Reddy and Qlik’s Academic Program Manager APAC, Pankaj Muthe. Dr. Reddy is also the Member of Legislative Council ( MLC) in the State of Telangana and its party Chief Whip.
This event was attended by Professors, Head of Departments of VJIT including its Director Dr. P Venugopal Reddy, Principal Dr. M. Padmaja and Dr. Siddhartha Ghosh-Professor and Training and Placement Head. Representatives from Qlik including Jaydeep Deshpande, Marketing Manager- India and SAARC and Fahad Khan, Solution Architect were also present. Support from team India and especially the Marketing, PR ( APAC) and Pre Sales team has been forthcoming for the successful launch of this Centre. Inputs at various stages were offered by these teams.
The key goal of the Centre of Excellence is to support data literacy and enable Professors and students in analytics through the resources offered under the Qlik Academic Program such as Qlik Continuous Classroom( QCC), analytics curriculum, community support etc.
This Centre would serve as a dedicated point of contact for students and also to Professors at VJIT who wish to collaborate on data analytics in areas of research and industry-academia partnerships in analytics. Professor Dr. Siddhartha Ghosh is facilitating these initiatives on behalf of VJIT.
The Centre would also serve as a point of confluence for ideas, trends and concepts in data analytics to be exchanged not just in VJIT but also for professionals, bodies and experts in analytics in the city of Hyderabad and States of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
A computer lab equipped with 70 hi-end computers, UPS, dedicated Server, LCD and a leased line internet connection is available to students as a part of this Centre.
More than 60 students from VJIT are already enrolled into the academic program and have begun training and accessing resources offered by the program. Many of the students dedicate a fixed time every week to train themselves using QCC. The target is to enable 180 students in analytics through the Centre every year.
Prior to the launch, 24 students participated in a hackathon conducted by VJIT and final five were selected to present their findings and demonstrate their apps built using Qlik Sense. Presentations on their apps were made on topics such as ‘The world happiness report’, ‘Analysis of students performance in pre-placement test’, ‘Hidden stories using Qlik Sense’ etc.
In addition, 20 poster presentations on various aspects of Qlik and its technologies were prepared and displayed by students at VJIT.
The Academic Program is growing at healthy pace in India and by collaborating on this initiative, engagement with Universities has moved further and the scope to work together in different activities has opened up. Also with the rapid change and introduction to newer technologies and in the world of analytics, the Centre of Excellence in Analytics is well positioned to facilitate this transition and support students and professors well.
