The Big Data and Hadoop Lab focuses on providing students with practical experience in managing and processing large-scale data using big data technologies. Students learn about the Hadoop ecosystem, including HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System), MapReduce programming, and tools like Hive, Pig, HBase, and Sqoop. The lab emphasises hands-on activities such as setting up Hadoop clusters, writing distributed data processing jobs, and performing data analysis on massive datasets. Through real-world scenarios and projects, students develop the skills to handle data variety, volume, and velocity, preparing them for careers in big data analytics and engineering.

Full stack development Laboratory

Full stack development is the end-to-end development of applications. It includes both the front end and back end of an application. The front end is usually accessed by a client, and the back end forms the core of the application where all the business logic is applied.

AI/ML Lab

The AI/ML Lab is designed to equip students with both foundational and practical knowledge in artificial intelligence and machine learning. It covers a broad spectrum of topics, including supervised and unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, natural language processing, and computer vision.
