Projects

This Post Graduate Diploma in Business Analytics has several industry-based projects that progress through beginner, intermediate and advanced levels to help you gain hands-on skills and experience.

Write Complex Sub-queries

The project aims at helping you work with SQL subqueries and also use them in numerous situations. The various queries to be used and covered as a part of the project are - IN or NOT IN, EXISTS or NOT EXISTS, ANY or ALL, etc.

Query a Large Relational Database

This interesting project on relational databases allows the learners to work with various data types, table basics, SQL functions, and SQL operators to acquire customer details through database querying.

Calculation of Employee Bonuses

The comprehensive project lets the learners use the ‘IF’ function to calculate the bonuses of all the employees at 10% of their salary and rate the sales employees as per the respective sales figures and rating scale.

Deal with Financial Data

The project is included to provide learners with hands-on experience in financial data analysis. Analyze global sales numbers and profit data by developing an interactive map, and using map styles and layers for enhanced visualization.

Work with Agricultural Data

As a part of the project, learners will have to display district-wise data to successfully build an interactive treemap with state labels. Also, the districts must be displayed by hovering over the respective states.

Design a Relational Database

As a part of the project, learn to successfully design a relational database and convert relational design, consisting of the details of the various users, user accounts and user roles, etc., in the SQL server table.

Planning Poker

Each estimator gets a deck of cards and each card has a valid estimate written on it. Each estimator selects a card as an estimate and the cards are turned over to discuss the differences and re-estimate until estimates converge.

Identify the Global Mortality Rate due to COVID-19

The project aims at identifying the mortality rate of COVID-19 at a global level. Analyze and create a dashboard to gain insights into the COVID-19 cases. Use a world map to compare the confirmed cases and death cases worldwide.

Work with the Customer Data of the UK Bank

The project has been included to let learners analyze and create a dashboard to gain insight from the UK bank’s customer data. Build an asymmetric drop-down consisting of the region and the corresponding user details.
