The route for aspiring students is through GEEE 2014, the All Indian Galgotias Engineering Entrance Exam. Galgotias has been ranked as the top private university for engineering in Northern India and among the top 20 engineering education institutions of India-ahead of several leading NITs by the latest Data Quest T-School Survey 2014.
Each of these courses has been developed in response to the huge market demand for relevant manpower in each of these domains. IBM has been the natural industry partner of choice, given its dominance global position in each of these domains. All five domains have been experiencing huge growth across the globe and are poised to shape different aspects of business practice. Cloud Computing is one of the fastest growing paradigms and leading research firm IDC’s figures estimates that worldwide spending on cloud services has crossed $ 42 billion. The Open Source and Open Standards (OSS) movement too, is growing massively as IT Industry which has thrived on IP for decades, is moving to the higher levels of value creation, leaving lower level value creation of OSS players. The domain of Business Analytics (BA) enables continuous interactive exploration and investigation of the huge data emerging out of past business performance to gain insight and drive business planning. Industries such as Telecos, Insurance, Healthcare etc are using BA in a huge way to better understand anticipate and shape business outcomes.
In the Mainframe domain, nearly 70 % of the world’s data still resides on main frames and industry is seeing more and more business adopting Mainframes for Linux consolidation, SOA, Cloud computing and data ware-housing environments. As the complexity in the IT world increases, large banks, Governments and corporations tend to depend on Mainframe’s reliability, scalability, security and availability. The Telecom Informatics domain too, is experiencing massive growth as rapid advancement in mobile, landline and WAN Technologies drive large existing Indian Telecom players to expand their networks rapidly, while new Telecom companies and value added services organsations enter rapidly to provide innovative consumer offerings.
