B Sc Data Science

A wonderful real-life example of Data Science is Tesla’s self-driving cars. These cars collect real-time data from the surroundings with the help of a camera, IoT sensors and ultrasonic sensors. After collecting the data, they process the data, visualize it and use software algorithms to receive the best suitable action to follow while navigating themselves on a safe drive. The minimum qualification to apply for a bachelor’s degree in Data Science is a 50% minimum mark in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Computer Science. However, candidates who possess a diploma in the technical field after Class 10th are also eligible to apply for B.Sc Data Science. According to a blog published by upGrad, it is predicted that by 2026, Data Science and analytics would be having more than 11 million jobs. India considered as the second prominent hub of jobs for Data Scientists after The United States of America.

Thus the demand for this field is world-wide as we can infer how fast human beings are moving towards innovation in different fileds. This is possible only through the evolution of Data Science. Hence, the growth of Data Science depends on the amount of data and the creativity of a Data Science enthusiast. In this article, we have discussed all the details of course including prospects of higher education in the field and information about career prospects and companies seeking top talents in the field of Data Science.

• In this course, students are taught programming skills (SAS, R, and Python), statistical and mathematical skills, data wrangling, and data visualization, Hadopp, SQL, and machine learning.
• The most important job of a data scientist is to examine which questions need answering and where to find the related data.
• The scientists are taught how to source, manage, and analyze large amounts of unstructured data.
• Data science involves interacting with big data sizes and Cloud computing allows the data scientists to use given tools like AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM cloud that has access to databases, applications, programming language, and operating tools.
• Moreover, students will be taught how to merge specialist knowledge of programming skills and expertise of Math and statistics to extract relevant information from large data.
• They also learn machine learning algorithms to data, text, photos, videos, audio and many more to the development of an artificial intelligence system that performs tasks that are required for human intelligence.
• They help create brands to understand their customers in a much enhanced and empowered manner. Brands and customers are directly proportional to each other.
• They are the ones who are professionals who can transcribe the heavy numbers, statistics, and figures into layman’s terms. Any computer science student who has a strong English command and a good knowledge in Mathematics, statistics backgrounds can do wonders in this field.
• A data scientist is capable of not just understanding the customers, but also organizing the data in a way that makes decision-making faster.

• Hence, the demand for data scientists in the future is very lucrative, abundant with a lot of job opportunities. Over the years, Data Scientists, with the help of artificial intelligence and robotics have made it possible to train machines to perform the routine tasks faster and efficiently than humans.
• According to a report by Technology Magazine quoting PwC, 2.7 million new data science and analytic jobs will be created by 2020.
• The report also says that this extraordinary growth has created an unprecedented demand that yet has to be fulfilled. Hence, there is always a booming demand for data scientists globally.

• Most of the colleges and universities grant merit-based admissionto the B.Sc Data Science program.
• The application forms are made available every year in the months of May and June.

 
In Bangalore itself, there are multiple reputable institutions offering a course b.Sc Data Science course. Christ University is one such university that offers a degree in Data Science amongst other colleges. Below are list of few colleges offering B.Sc Data Science course in Karnataka:

However, tuition fees may vary from one college to another. Following are the list of factors that influences tuition fee:
 

• Rating and reputation of the college
• Scholarship status of the student
• Type of college (Government or Private)
