Hello Everybody!

Season’s Greetings!

I would like to rst wish you all a very Happy New Year!

A New Year means new hopes, new beginnings and new aspirations. 2018 for the IT industry is sure in the theme of the New Year – hope giving for IT job aspirants! Various reports from across the globe suggest that IT industry is about to grow even more. Let’s take one instance – the US economy is presently growing at the rate of 2 to 2.5% which is a pretty good recovery. This means increased demand from US clients and a growing IT spend for the Indian IT industry. The IT spend is all set to go up by a good 4% to 4.5% this year. Over and above this is the Indian Government’s pushing of simplication, digitization and data sharing. This is leading to adaptation of IT in some way or the other in all sectors of all industries. This can only mean one thing –more IT jobs!

Things sure are looking up, but just as the harvest festivals of Shankranti, Pongal and Lohri remind us – you reap what you sow. Working hard is not enough; working smart is the order of the day. With regard to how one should start off working smart, you have to start getting trained in technologies that the IT industry wants. This is how you aim right for the bull’s eye. A sure shot is aligning what you do with the demand in the IT industry. Plan well ahead by getting job ready training in latest technologies that colleges can seldom give and make your year a truly hopeful one! IIHT has guided over 10 lakh students over 2 decades in doing the best they can and successfully securing an IT job. You can be one too! Let’s welcome the New Year with hope in our hearts and determination in the mind to sow the seeds of success the right way.

THE IIHT TIMESPage - 2

Indian politics has always been a subject of fascination for some and speculation for some while a lot has been spoken, mostly negative on the entire political scenario. But unlike the general opinion, Indian politics is gradually undergoing several positive changes, since the time politicians have started actively using technology for governance. The topic we deal with in this article will be the use of Big data and analytics by the Government.

Recently, a growing number of political leaders including the Finance Minister, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu have adopted big data and analytics in order to strengthen the process of decision making and improving governance at the constituency, state and national levels.

Collaboration of Technology with GovernanceNongovernmental organizations like the Swaniti Initiative aim at delivering development solutions to government ofcials by starting, accelerating and implementing development solutions in areas like education, livelihood, health care, gender, sanitation, water, food distribution etc. These organizations have worked with 100+ parliamentarians, with more than 5 Chief Ministers, 15 state level legislators by providing research support on major developmental programs, support with implementation in various constituencies or strategic insights based on data base in order to aid decision making in development policies.

How it is doneThese data analytic companies deploy teams in the target constituencies that are supported by their head ofces in order to tackle specic problems that are either identied by local communities or set forth by the Government. The activity of gathering data typically lasts anything between 3 months to a year and is categorized into 3 phases.

1. Phase 1: The data collection and analysis is conducted through extensive eld work in order to gauge the challenges, possible solutions and the best alternatives. These are passed on to the client ofces.

2. Phase 2: In this phase, the companies secure suitable partners and several forms of support in order to deploy programs, growing it into a full scale solution. The handover of controls to the local political leaders happens in the last part of this phase.

3. Phase 3: Monitoring of survey effectiveness is done here.

Some of these companies also release weekly updates on policies along with development briefs to the MLAs and Mps.

Services OfferedTheir services range from creating memos, briefs, host multiple training and knowledge conferences and conducting one-on-one knowledge consultations for MPs and MLAs.

The research that they provide is catalytic in bringing about development since they stress on what a scheme or policy is and how the implementation can be successful.

With initiatives such as these by the Government, it is clear that India is all set to move towards a more organized and data driven country. Implementation of practical solutions at grass root levels and in depth understanding of problems are at the hands of politicians. While many do act upon it, we hope everyone follows suit.

MAKING INDIA A DATA DRIVEN NATION


If you are worried about machine learning becoming mainstream, a poll by Oxford Economics on behalf of Human Resources and IT asset management rm ServiceNow should pique your curiosity. The report, which surveyed 500 chief information ofcers from 11 nations and across 25 businesses, found that 49% of the organizations are already using ML to enhance traditional business processes. Of the 500 CIOs 200 said they are already beyond the pilot phase and also have started Machine Learning deployment in some capacity. CIOs are hoping to restrict user errors and error in judgment by introducing automation. Almost 70 percent of CIOs said decisions made by machines will have greater precision than those made by humans.

In accordance with the poll, CIOs today are mostly concentrated on using Machine Learning to automate repetitive tasks, make complex decisions, recognize data patterns, and set links between events. One of numerous reasons you are hearing so much about Machine Learning is that it is the tide of productivity which will separate businesses from the contest. It is faster and provides better decisions. Humans have biases, algorithms do not. Experts now see enormous potential for Machine Learning in businesses like enterprise resource planning, inventory management and distribution chain, among many others. Forty one percent of CIOs from the poll cited a lack of skills as the main difculty stopping them from deploying Machine Learning today.

On the other hand, only 16 percent of CIOs and their businesses have plans for changing the size of the workforce and modify roles to accommodate Machine Learning.

Machine Learning and JobsThe numbers published in Oxford Economics poll are short term projections, unlike a report by management consulting rm McKinsey & Company. Their report estimated that 50% of today’s work actions might be replaced by automation based on several different factors. The rm’s report examined 2,000 work activities across 800 jobs and discovered that nearly $2.7 trillion in wages are spent on jobs that can eventually be automated.

Machine Learning will change people’s rolesExperts do not believe that Machine Learning is taking away people’s jobs but say that it’ll change people’s jobs. Mundane decisions will get automated, that will free people up. New jobs will get created. Companies will really have to look at what exactly is their 3 year talent and ability road map. And be really purposeful about building these skills. They have got to train workers, but additionally gure out alternative resources to this talent. Therefore it is advised for employers to employ and train workers to take benet of Machine Learning based processes. Once humans are familiar with Machine Learning’s capability to make data and make correct decisions, the business will transition system decision making directed by human supervision.

It is crucial for companies to get their workforce training done by AI learning consultants like IIHT to prepare for the future.

Student Testimonials

I took admission for CCNA, MCSA and Cloud Computing in the month of July at IIHT Deccan. Here, teachers are well qualied with both practical and theoretical knowledge. They took our opinion on how to teach and communicate with each student separately. I got placed at ConcordantOne Tech as a Jr. Windows System Admin. I really feel that my decision to enroll here was worth it. Thank you.

I am very thankful to IIHT for everything. I joined IIHT in July 2016. I have completed my ITMS course; Aftab Sir was there to teach us, they made us technically strong. IIHT staff were very cooperative. They arranged several workshops that helped build our condence. After completion of course, they arranged for many interview calls. They gave us many interview calls, which was done without fail, so I am very thankful to IIHT. I'm also grateful to Irfan Khan Sir too who supported us with getting jobs. I got selected in Mphasis Limited through IIHT, so I am very grateful to the whole team of IIHT.

IIHT is right platform for the Freshers as well as experienced, but it would be good to have practical knowledge and linkage with Industrial trends or technology. It can be an advantage if the students are exposed to Industries and tech oriented companies expectations. It is important for faculties and students to understand the Job Descriptions before facing interview.

1. Where can a candidate nd a better job in networking eld?

Hey hey! I’m sure your question resonates with several people in the Networking eld. But let me give you another perspective to this… what if better jobs are drawn to you??!!

Today Networking is no more just about CCNA or CCNP. There are many new technologies that have come into the picture. Technology is constantly evolving and it is important that you also adapt. The best way is to nd out what the latest technologies are in the Networking eld, upgrade yourself in them by attending a course. Usually courses from a good networking institute will also train you in preparing for higher certication courses. This way you can simultaneously prepare for these certications while also getting hands on experience in the technologies. Once the course is done and the certicates are got. It’s only a matter of time before you land yourself a good job.

2. What's some advice for an Indian teen?

Plan your career well in advance! Start doing vocational courses from institutes that make one job ready. It can be in the eld of arts or technology or anything… but start young and you will have enough time to explore…and learn as much as you can!

3. What should I do for improving logic building skills to code in Java programming language?

One way to give yourself a new perspective to build logic would be reskilling. When you reskill or upskill in the higher version, especially in the association of peers and under the guidance of mentors, there is a good chance the environment will help think logically even better.

4 USEFUL THINGS THAT EVERY ASPIRING DATA SCIENTIST MUST KNOW

Data science is amongst the fastest growing aspects in technology today. Data has always been around, but the difference is that today, a lot more data is being collected at a very fast rate and there is now an ability to get valuable insights, and do a lot more with the collected data. This looming power of data science has grown at such a fast pace that skilled data scientists are actually hard to nd. A report by McKinsey suggested that there will soon be a shortage of 190,000 data scientists within a year in the US alone and another shortage of over 1.5 million of them in the coming years.

So how can IT job aspirants or professionals in the IT industry cash in on this huge demand? By becoming a job ready data scientist of course! Here are 4 useful things than an aspiring data scientist must know:

1. Statistical Learning: Picking up meta skill of statistical thinking is very important for a data scientist. This includes:Ÿ Looking at data as being taken from a generative model through parameters by probability distributionsŸ Picking up biases in data and guring out how sampling methods can be used to correct biasesŸ Detecting garbage data soon enough so as not to proceed with inference and considering experimental design instead

This meta skill of statistical thinking happens only with practice.

Software Engineering: Software Engineering is basically about three major things:Ÿ Learning how to organize and connect abstract ideas in a logical method that is user friendlyŸ Code well, write tests and documentŸ Staying familiar and updated on the ever-evolving ecosystem of software packages used

Software Engineering is crucial for data scientists since predictions making models are usually put into the production system and are used beyond the Data scientists themselves.

1. Business Cases that are Industry-Specic: Business cases can be very industry specic and an aspiring data scientist usually gets exposed to them only in tests or interviews. Here the data scientists’ imaginative capacity and experience (if he/she is not a fresher) counts. The two areas that are tested are – The creativity required to solve complex business problems and the passion as a drive to solve them. Both areas are tough to fake when faced with a properly designed business cases. For a beginner, it is advised to pick general industries or ones that they plan to target rst.

2. Computer Science Fundamentals: This would be coding in basic programming languages apart from data structures and algorithms. The subjects under this are vast but you should learn to prioritize based on your target industry. For ex. If your target industry is biotechnology, starting with Python would be the best thing.

Learning and preparing yourself for a data scientist career can be daunting. This is why picking a course that includes intensive hands on training in all 4 of the above will help make you job ready.
