Data Science has grown to be a domain of scientific study due to the deluge of data generated and acquired through various means. Data driven scientific discovery has contributed a lot to the scientific investigation. Important contributions of data acquisition, visualization and analytics with tools from Machine Learning is seen in domains like Business Intelligence, Financial services, Climate Modeling, Weather forecasting, Medical, Chemo, Bio etc., and the list goes on. It is felt that there is a need to produce manpower trained in this stream of scientific study and therefore a course is proposed. For a Data Science graduate to be of use to the society and specific Industry or organization, he/she should be trained and equipped to develop solutions and applications using computing platform(s) of choice. Therefore, it is felt that a program for training young individuals in the area of Data Science should take care of their readiness to meet this requirement.

This programme is designed specifically for graduates in Statistic, Mathematics and Computer Science. Having Degrees like B.Sc. (Computer Science), BCA and B.Tech. /B.E. in Computer Science, Any Statistics and Mathematics Graduations. The course structure and syllabus provides good foundations and working knowledge in Statistics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Visualization, Big data Analytics, Distributed Systems and Programming languages R, Python and platforms like Tableau, Power BI, and SAS etc.
