Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology ( VJIT), a leading educational institution in Hyderabad and one of the close Qlik Academic Program partners, hosted  a successful datathon recently. 

Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology was established in 1998 by Vidya Jyothi Educational Society created by a group of committed academicians and enterprising educationists. The institute offers many programs in engineering and is one the most recognized campuses in the State of Telangana in India. The first "Centre of Excellence in Analytics powered by Qlik" was started at VJIT and so far, many students have leveraged the academic program of Qlik along with qualifications and certifications.

In another step to build this relationship further, VJIT organised a datathon where more than 200 students participated in a Qlik only datathon event. The departments of IT, CSE, CSE- DS  and AI participated. One of the distinct feature of this datathon was that all the student participants had completed the Qlik Sense Business Analyst Qualification. 

Students were shared datasets and they created dashboards and presented them to the audience. The final selection of students was based on the quality of analysis using Qlik Sense, presentation and knowledge of the technology.  In the end, five teams were shortlisted for the final round and three winners were declared.
