Which is better, Data Science M.Tech from IIT Hyderabad, or Big Data Analytics Certification from IIM Bangalore?

It all depends on your interest and future goals. If you want a career in the technical field, choose Data Science M.Tech from IIT Hyderabad. If you want to work in the management sector then doing Big Data Analytics certification from IIM Bangalore will be better. If you are interested in Big Data and want a technical career in the field, look for a technical institute. IIMs will not offer hands-on technical training in the field, it will rather cover the managerial aspect of it. 

Among the given choices, IIT Hyderabad is better for pursuing a course in Data Science. Here is some of the information regarding both the colleges.

IIT Hyderabad -

It is one of the oldest and admired autonomous colleges which is offering MTech in Data science.

• This program is designed exclusively for professionals working in the industry.
• The eligible candidate should have a BTech or BE degree or an MCA/MSc/MS/ME/M.Tech. degree in the relevant field with at least 70% marks or 7.0 CGPA in one of the qualifying examinations.
• The candidate should also have a minimum of three years of work experience in the relevant industry.
• The selection is based on written tests that are being conducted by IIT Hyderabad followed by personal interviews.

IIM Bangalore -

The Big data analytics certification program is designed for students who want to equip themselves with an in-depth knowledge of Big Data Analytics (BDA).

• The course curriculum contains real case studies and hands-on demonstrations to illustrate the applications of key concepts.
• The eligible students should have a Bachelor’s degree in any stream with mathematics as one of the subjects during their Bachelor’s program.
• The students with a minimum work experience of 3 years will be preferred.
• The applicants are shortlisted based on the online test, academic performance, work experience, and personal interview.

These are some of the details about these institutes. Both of these are best with their own programs. The final decision should be yours. One of my friends pursued MTech in Data Science from IIT Hyderabad, so I can vouch for the course.
