By pursuing a course in Data Science, students can upskill themselves in various domains that would make them job relevant for diversified roles in industries ranging from Telecommunications, Aviation, Agriculture, Banking, Healthcare, etc. Fresh graduates studying data science are quickly getting absorbed as they are introduced to some mathematical topics along with programming languages including Python, R, and SAS.
Most students after completing their course in Data Science, are getting placed as data scientists, business analysts, data engineers, and risk analysts. The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) also offers short-term courses in Data Science, Data Analytics, and Data engineering. Recently, NSDC has joined hands with Scaler, an EdTech startup to technically up-skill Data scientists, machine learning specialists, and software development engineers in emerging growth areas.
Students who have recently completed the course from SP Jain Global School of Management have got jobs ranging from $ (AUS) 78,000 to 120,000. Students placed in Indian companies have got jobs ranging from Rs 22 to 36 lakhs. Some of the companies where students have got placements are Macquarie Group, Amazon, Wolters Kluwer, EdgeRed Analytics Pty Ltd, Integrity Solutions, NSW Government (Grad Program), Viettel Big Data Analytics Center, OCB Bank, Savills Vietnam, and ITR Vietnam.
In 2021-22 batch of MTech in Data Science at IIT Guwahati, a total of 14 students enrolled in the course, and all of them got placed in IT giants such as Accenture, Axtria, Cisco, HCL, IBM, Microsoft, MTX, Oracle, SAP Labs. The highest salary that was offered to IIT Guwahati graduates in 2022 was Rs 38.40 lakhs.
Speaking to Education Times, Bhupesh Daheria, CEO, Aegis School of Data Science, Mumbai, says, “Data Science courses are gaining popularity as the course is real-world problem solver across all industries and business that functions through data assimilation and interpretation. These courses train students to build models that enable commercial banks and Fintech startups to assess a customer’s eligibility for a loan.” Students pursuing courses in Data Science can also contribute their bit to stop evils like child trafficking by analysing the data. In addition to this, Data Science students are even taught to create recommendation systems that allow e-commerce sites like Amazon, Flipkart, Netflix, and YouTube to provide personalised products and content for their customers which increases their sales and profits. Data Science students are trained in a range of topics, including Linear Algebra, Calculus, Probability, Statistics, Python programming language, database management, big data, data visualisation, machine learning, deep learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and business domains, adds Daheria.
“Students are picking Data Science to study as it provides intellectually challenging roles, attractive salary packages, and attractive career opportunities worldwide,” he says.
“Many instances have come to the fore where students have built AI proctoring systems for cheat-proof examinations and systems of fair job recommendations,” adds Daheria.
Around 1500 full-time and executive students have graduated in Data Science from Aegis School of Data Science and all of them have got placements with companies like KPMG, Lenovo, Redhat, E&Y, Teradata, Teradata, Indegene, Morningstar, HDFC Bank, Go Air, Vodafone Idea and many more,” informs Daheria.
Ratnajit Bhattacharjee, head, Mehta Family School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, IIT Guwahati, says, “As the entire industry is becoming increasingly data-driven, demand for Data Science graduates is perpetually growing. As large amounts of data are being generated daily, correct and meaningful information needs to be extracted from it which will be beneficial to businesses ranging from agriculture, healthcare, communication industries, transportation, etc. In 2021, we introduced a BTech programme in Data Science to cater to growing demand.”
Professor Abhijit Dasgupta, director, Data Science programme, SP Jain School of Global Management, Mumbai, says, “Data Science is taught through the perspective of Computer Science, Statistics, and businesses which gives the students a 360-degree overview to devise solutions to the existing real-world problems. Apart from the students, even working professionals pursue Data Science courses to up-skill themselves after gaining work experience.”
