Pune: The Deccan Education Society (DES) in collaboration with the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) has set up an on campus lab to run certificate programmes in three technologies – big data analytics, business intelligence and data science.
Students pursuing under graduation, post-graduation as well as working professionals can now apply for this course.

The lab will enable applicants and DES faculty members to develop their knowledge and skills in the three technologies. IBM will also enable faculty members from across DES’s network of institutions to incorporate relevant courses offered by IBM career education programme into their curricula.

“The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed with IBM for setting up an IBM Business Analytics Lab to provide comprehensive career education to our students and faculty members; which is the need of the hour,” said chairman of DES, Sharad Kunte.
