About The Customer
Anurag Group of Institutions (AGI) is a large educational institution in India, spread over 50+ acres with a total built-up area of over 700,000 square feet. The institution is set up with best-in-class infrastructure facilities to train about 6000 students with the support of about 650 teaching and non-teaching fraternity. AGI has adopted a world-class teaching-learning pedagogy that is constantly appraised and revised to align with the trends in global higher education. The institution's vision is to maintain high academic standards that promote 'the analytical thinking and independent judgement necessary to function responsibly in a globalized society'.
The Challenge
Anurag Group of Institutions (AGI) is a large educational institution in India with a vision to maintain high academic standards and promote analytical thinking and independent judgement. The Department of Computer Science Engineering at AGI identified a serious skills gap for good data analysts in industry and business. With a forecast of 97,000 jobs that need to be filled in the area of data science, there is a huge need for skilled people. The department has been teaching 'Big Data' subjects to students and recognizes that the future for the next 30 years will be data analytics. However, they were seeking the best way to instruct students in data visualization and provide them with practical experience.
The Solution
AGI decided to collaborate with Qlik and instituted the Qlik Academic Program with an initial student enrolment of 190. The program gives professors and students a full year subscription to Qlik Sense software, and access to the Qlik Continuous Classroom self-paced learning platform. It also provides a data analytics curriculum that features lecture notes, on-demand videos, course materials, student exercises and real-world interactive business use cases. At the end of the course, students can earn the Qlik Sense Business Analyst Qualification and receive a printable certificate and digital badge to share on their resumes and social media channels. AGI also created a separate facility for the Qlik initiative where students work hands on, form in groups and participate in a 'hackathon' focused on data science and machine learning.
Operational Impact
  • The Qlik Academic Program makes study more interesting for the students and keeps them engaged because they can now show them exactly how data visualizations can be done, using charts they have designed with Qlik Sense Desktop.
  • The program is also very helpful to the industry because it provides job candidates whose learning has been supported by best practices and assessment.
  • AGI is looking forward to having students obtain the Qlik Sense Business Analyst Qualification and plans to broaden the reach of the Data Analytics Club across technology-based student clubs.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 85% of candidates earned a Qlik Sense qualification
  • 92 qualifications or certifications earned by students
  • 14% of the previous group who took part in the course went on to obtain employment based on the Qlik Sense Business Analyst Qualification
