What is PG Diploma in Data
Engineering program all about?
The first of its kind, a highly industry-oriented PGD program
i i
designe<:l liy tt,e top facul ty at IIT Jodlopur along w tr nputs from
va-ious global schools of Data Science and Engineering and
industry experts fndudin g top CXOs and leaders of Data Science
and Engineering practice.T"lis program takes into ac::ount the
rapiclly evoMng lanclscape of Data Sd€nce, engineenng, and Al
driven technology stacks as well as the future of data-focused
jol>role competencies.llT Jodhpur l s 1,,vell knov-m for its exce!ence

2 Why this program now, and how

is it different from various other
programs available?
i
As. businesses and organ zations increasingly rely or data-driven
i
dec sion-making, the demand for skilled data professionals has
i
skyrocketed, Accord ng to a report by IBM, i
tl1e demand for Data
Scientists will grov.• by 28% by 2023. creat ng a neec for
e
approximately 700.000 new professionals in tl1is fild,
i
HoviJever, just Data Science exper1 se is not enough. MOOern
i
organ zaticns 'Nant to be more data-driven than ever before. In
i
order to squeeze every our�ce of value out of tt1e r data, the trend
has been to move from just experimentation or MVP test cases to
i
actually deploying and commercial zing the data solutions at scal e.
i i
Additionally. n a v
...·or1d \Vhere assistive Al and ChatGPT s pushing
engineers to re-think the way in which cede can be generated.
i
datasets can be discoverec, help ng quickly and efficiently bui ld
complex data pipelines for Al and ML application� as \tv'ell as is used
increasingly for self service business intelligence. any future Data
i i i
Eng neer or Sc ent st wi l l mandatori ly neecf to leverage the ChatGPT
i
autanation capabilit es and use its A Pis to configure and deploy
i
solutions and streamline repetit ve tasks and functions.

In sucl1 a world. tl1e skillsi of both Data Engineering and Science

would be the best poss ble competencies to accelerate one's
i i
career in tile data field. Hence th s s the first program of its kind,
which not Just converges tt--e sk ills of data engineering and science
