Data science is the field of study that combines domain expertise, programming skills, and knowledge of mathematics and statistics to extract meaningful insights from data. Today, from multinational companies to small startups, every organisation requires a Data Scientist for proper usage of the huge amount of data it generates and stores.
As India steps into the era of online businesses and organisations, it is the second-highest country next to the US to have generated the demand to recruit about 50,000 Data Scientists for 2020 and 2021. Analysts have predicted that there will be more than 11 million job openings by 2026.
The rising demand for data science professionals presses on the need to have some significant courses and curriculum to skill-up the budding leaders.
