So far, a total of 41 students from across the country have registered for the MS programme. With an intention to impart industry knowledge to the students, the two premier institutes aim to help them recognise areas where data science can be useful. Additionally, the programme is devised to provide inputs to algorithm developers and help budding professionals in the field to create a business impact.

This online MS programme will have 15 hours of live sessions over the course of two years. Including this, there will be a total of 900 hours of learning. Sessions on Machine Learning (ML), Database Management Systems (DMS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Programming languages, Marketing management, operations and Supply Chain Management, (SCM) ethics, strategy, etc. will be conducted during the course of the programme.

Adding value to the field of Data Science
