The Department of Data Science, Anurag University, organized another successful hackathon, "Data Dynamo 2.0" on January 30-31, 2026 where a number of students from the city of Hyderabad and Telangana State participated.
150 students participated in building apps and dashboards using Qlik Sense which was the data analytics partner.
One of the biggest challenges educators face today is bringing real-world data experiences into the classroom. Students are expected to understand not only how to analyze data, but how to work with AI, predictive insights, and the full lifecycle of modern analytics. As the demands of the data-driven workplace continue to evolve, so does the Qlik Academic Program.
