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 Ed- Tech startup to technically upskill Data scientists, machine learning specialists, and soft- ware 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.

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 a real-world problem solver across all industries and businesses that function 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 such as Amazon, Flipkart, Netflix, and YouTube to provide personalised products and content for their customers which increases their sales and profits."
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 growing. Correct and meaningful information needs to be extracted from large amounts of data generated daily for the benefit of businesses. In 2021, we introduced a BTech programme in Data Science to cater to growing demand.
