How is your review of Big Data Analytics from IIM Lucknow?

RT
Rajat Tokas Posted On : January 16th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Lucknow

It is true that IIM Lucknow, like many other premier business schools in India, does not have a specific focus on Big Data Analytics. However, it is important to note that this does not necessarily mean that there is no association between IIM Lucknow and Big Data Analytics.

While it is true that IIMs primarily focuses on providing students with a strong foundation in managerial skills, the reality is that the business world is constantly evolving, and new technologies and trends are emerging all the time. Big Data Analytics is one such trend that has gained significant prominence in recent years, and it is a skill that is becoming increasingly important for managers to possess.

It is also worth noting that while IIMs may not have specific courses or programs dedicated to Big Data Analytics, they do offer IT specialization options. These programs may not specifically cover big data, but they do provide students with a solid foundation in IT and technology, which can be beneficial when it comes to understanding and working with big data.

Furthermore, it is not entirely accurate to say that any business school will teach you that having a solid understanding of Excel is all you need. While Excel is an important tool for data analysis and management, it is not the only tool or skill required for working with big data. In fact, big data analytics typically involves working with large sets of data that are too complex to be handled by Excel and requires specialized software and tools such as Hadoop, Spark, and Python.

In conclusion, while IIM Lucknow and other IIMs may not have a specific focus on big data analytics, this does not mean that they do not provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to work with it. The management skills taught in these institutes along with IT and technology specialization options can be a good foundation to understand and work with it. Additionally, it is a rapidly evolving field and it's important for students to keep updating their skills and knowledge.

Can I do BCA without maths in 12th?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : June 16th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Yes, you can do BCA without Maths in class 12th as it is not a compulsory subject for BCA. If you look closely at the eligibility criteria of BCA, it is as follows 

  • Candidates must have completed Class 12th in any stream from a recognized university with a minimum of 45-55% and also, with English as a subject (pass percentage varies from college to college).
  • Candidates can also get admission on a merit basis, a written exam, or a personal interview. 
  • Colleges also conduct entrance exams such as CUET, SET, IPU CET, etc. for BCA in India.

All in all, it can be safely concluded that Maths is not a compulsion for admission to the BCA program in most colleges. The eligibility criteria vary from college to college and thus are not true for every college.

How is DAV College Chandigarh for a BCA?

KS
Kanika Sharma Posted On : October 22nd, 2021
Studied Biotechnology at DAV College, Chandigarh (2018)

It all depends on what your goals are. If you want to acquire a degree, then choosing DAV College is fine. The college does not care about attendance and you can easily complete the program even if you miss classes for a month. However, a heavy fine will be charged for the same.

If you want to learn new things and looking for great opportunities in BCA, then look for some other option. The faculty is good but they are not experienced in the area properly and this can be a setback. 

Go for BCA only if you are interested in programming and computer applications, otherwise, you will regret this decision.
