                  DataCell(Text('2')),  
                  DataCell(Text('ENG-011')),  
                  DataCell(Text('abc')),  
                  DataCell(Text('MERN developer')),
                ]),  
                DataRow(cells: [  
                  DataCell(Text('3')),  
                  DataCell(Text('ENG-011')),  
                  DataCell(Text('abc')),  
                  DataCell(Text('Php developer')),
                ]),  
                  
              ],  
            ),  
      )])

Wrap your DataTable in SingleChildScrollView for handling the overflow.
You might need 2; one for vertical scroll and one for horizontal scroll.

SingleChildScrollView
    scrollDirection: Axis.vertical
    child: SingleChildScrollView
        scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal
        child: DataTable
