Why Companies in Delhi Choose Uncodemy for Data Engineering
Quick summary — what Delhi companies look for in data engineering training
Companies in Delhi typically look for data engineering training that builds strong SQL and data modelling, Python pipelines that load and transform data on a schedule, familiarity with cloud storage and warehouses, and data quality testing, all practised through projects. Uncodemy's data science course covers related foundations; confirm data engineering content with a counsellor.
In this guide you will learn:
- The skills companies want — from data engineers.
- How Uncodemy's related course — content maps to them.
- Example pipeline and quality — code.
- A training evaluation template — for data teams.
- Interview questions — for data engineers.
SECTION 01Skills companies want from data engineering training
Data engineering sits between raw data sources and the analysts, data scientists and dashboards that use the data. Companies want engineers who can write efficient SQL, design tables that are easy to query, build pipelines that run reliably and catch bad data before it reaches reports. Training is judged on whether people can do these tasks on real-style data:
| Skill | What it includes | Why companies care | Evidence in training |
|---|---|---|---|
| SQL and modelling | Joins, window functions, star schemas | Fast, correct queries | Modelling exercises with reviews |
| Pipelines | Python extract-transform-load, scheduling | Fresh data without manual work | A scheduled pipeline project |
| Cloud data tools | Object storage, warehouses, managed services | Most data platforms are cloud-based | Hands-on cloud labs |
| Data quality | Tests, validation, monitoring | Trusted numbers in reports | Quality checks in projects |
-- A simple star schema for sales reporting
CREATE TABLE dim_customer (
customer_key SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
customer_id TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
city TEXT,
segment TEXT
);
CREATE TABLE dim_date (
date_key DATE PRIMARY KEY,
month INT NOT NULL,
year INT NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE fact_sales (
order_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
customer_key INT REFERENCES dim_customer(customer_key),
date_key DATE REFERENCES dim_date(date_key),
amount NUMERIC(12,2) NOT NULL CHECK (amount >= 0)
);
-- Each customer's latest order and running spend
SELECT customer_key, order_id, date_key, amount,
SUM(amount) OVER (PARTITION BY customer_key ORDER BY date_key) AS running_spend,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY customer_key ORDER BY date_key DESC) AS recency_rank
FROM fact_sales
ORDER BY customer_key, date_key;
SECTION 02How Uncodemy's related course content maps
Uncodemy does not have a separate data engineering course URL in the mapping used for this guide, so it links to the data science course, which covers related foundations such as Python, SQL and data handling. The table describes how typical content maps to data engineering needs. Ask a counsellor which data engineering topics, such as pipelines and cloud data tools, are currently included before deciding:
| Need | Related course content | What to confirm | Self-study to add |
|---|---|---|---|
| SQL | SQL querying and data handling | Depth of modelling and window functions | Star schema practice |
| Python | Python, pandas, NumPy | Scripting for pipelines | ETL scripts with logging |
| Cloud data | May be limited | Any cloud data labs | Object storage and a warehouse trial |
| Orchestration | May be limited | Scheduling tools covered | Airflow or cron basics |
import logging
import sqlite3
import pandas as pd
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format="%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s")
def extract() -> pd.DataFrame:
return pd.DataFrame({"order_id": ["A1", "A2", "A2"], "amount": ["100", "250", "250"],
"order_date": ["2026-03-01", "2026-03-02", "2026-03-02"]})
def transform(df: pd.DataFrame) -> pd.DataFrame:
df = df.drop_duplicates("order_id").copy()
df["amount"] = pd.to_numeric(df["amount"], errors="coerce")
df["order_date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["order_date"]).dt.date
return df.dropna(subset=["amount"])
def load(df: pd.DataFrame, db: str = "warehouse.db") -> None:
with sqlite3.connect(db) as conn:
df.to_sql("fact_sales", conn, if_exists="replace", index=False)
logging.info("loaded %d rows", len(df))
if __name__ == "__main__":
load(transform(extract()))
# Airflow DAG (Airflow 2.x) wrapping the same steps
from datetime import datetime
from airflow import DAG
from airflow.operators.python import PythonOperator
import etl # the module above
with DAG("daily_sales", start_date=datetime(2026, 1, 1),
schedule="@daily", catchup=False) as dag:
PythonOperator(task_id="run_etl",
python_callable=lambda: etl.load(etl.transform(etl.extract())))
SECTION 03Data quality and how to evaluate any provider
Bad data in reports damages trust quickly, so companies value engineers who test data. Simple checks, such as row counts, null checks, unique keys and accepted ranges, catch most problems. When evaluating any data engineering training, in Delhi or online, check whether projects include these tests, whether SQL depth is real and whether cloud tools are practised hands-on:
| Check | How to verify | Good sign | Red flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| SQL depth | Ask for sample exercises | Window functions, modelling | Only basic SELECT |
| Pipeline project | Ask what learners build | Scheduled, logged pipeline | Only notebooks |
| Data quality | Ask how data is tested | Tests in projects | No mention of testing |
| Cloud practice | Ask which tools are used | Hands-on labs | Slides only |
import pandas as pd
def check_sales(df: pd.DataFrame) -> list[str]:
errors = []
if df.empty:
errors.append("no rows loaded")
if df["order_id"].duplicated().any():
errors.append("duplicate order_id values")
if df["amount"].isna().any():
errors.append("missing amounts")
if (df["amount"] < 0).any():
errors.append("negative amounts")
return errors
df = pd.DataFrame({"order_id": ["A1", "A2"], "amount": [100.0, -5.0]})
problems = check_sales(df)
print("OK" if not problems else "FAILED: " + "; ".join(problems))
-- Each query should return zero rows if the data is healthy
SELECT order_id, COUNT(*) FROM fact_sales GROUP BY order_id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
SELECT * FROM fact_sales WHERE amount IS NULL OR amount < 0;
SELECT f.order_id FROM fact_sales f
LEFT JOIN dim_customer c ON c.customer_key = f.customer_key
WHERE c.customer_key IS NULL; -- orphan facts
SECTION 04Data engineering training evaluation template
Use these templates to compare training options for a data team or yourself:
Team: ______________ Location: Delhi / NCR / remote
Current tools: ______________
Main data sources: ______________
Top gaps: SQL modelling / pipelines / cloud / quality
Goal: e.g., daily sales pipeline with tests running on schedule
Format: classroom / online / hybrid
Success measure: pipeline in use; checks passing; fewer report disputes
1. Does the course include SQL modelling and window functions?
2. Will learners build a scheduled pipeline?
3. Which cloud data tools are practised hands-on?
4. Are data quality tests part of projects?
5. Can we see a sample project?
6. What are the current options for teams, and fees in writing?
If a course covers foundations only, add:
Weeks 1-2 Data modelling: star schemas, slowly changing dimensions
Weeks 3-4 Orchestration basics with Airflow or cron
Weeks 5-6 Cloud object storage and one warehouse trial
Weeks 7-8 Data quality tests and a monitored pipeline project
SECTION 05Tips for choosing data engineering training
These habits help teams and learners choose well:
- Test SQL depth — ask for sample exercises, not topic lists.
- Require a pipeline project — notebooks alone are not enough.
- Look for data quality — testing separates good courses.
- Plan self-study for gaps — no course covers every tool.
- Confirm details in writing — syllabus, schedule and fees.
SECTION 06Interview Q&A — data engineering
Q1What is the difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL transforms data before loading it into the warehouse; ELT loads raw data first and transforms it inside the warehouse.
Q2What is a star schema?
A model with a central fact table of events or measures linked to dimension tables that describe them, such as customer and date.
Q3How do you make a pipeline idempotent?
Design it so rerunning produces the same result, for example by replacing or merging by key instead of blindly appending.
Q4How do you test data quality?
Check row counts, nulls, unique keys, accepted values, ranges and referential integrity, and fail or alert when checks break.
Q5What is a window function?
A SQL function that computes over a set of related rows without collapsing them, such as running totals or rankings.
