Bachelor of Data Science

Program Overview

90 percent of data in the world today has been created in the last 2 years alone. Some estimate that data production will be 44 times greater in 2020 than it was a few years ago. Others estimate that approximately 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are being generated every day. Global demand for data science and computing expertise exceeds supply, with predictions of a major shortage of analysts for at least the next 10 years. For graduates in Data Science, this presents a high potential employment opportunity.

SP Jain’s Bachelor of Data Science (BDS) is a 3-year course designed to prepare graduates who can conduct data-driven investigations, and conduct visual and advanced analytics by acquiring and managing data of all types. Through this course, graduates will develop an in-depth understanding of data science and the techniques for analysis of quantitative and qualitative data to arrive at solutions. They will be able to identify patterns, predict trends and analyze data from sectors such as manufacturing, banking and finance, retail, and healthcare.
