Become Data Analyst Ready with PGP in Data Science
by O.P. Jindal Global University Best Private UniversityHave you ever wondered why do you repeatedly see similar advertisements
or posts of a particular product and of particular brand on your social media
or on your subscribed aap, when you constantly show interest in it?
The building block of such an activity is “DATA”.
“The data is the new oil and there is no denying that it will miraculously
transform the 21st gen soil.”
How data affects the
business and industries today?
Going a decade back, we can see that data was at a budding stage. Not
many industries would fully rely on it. However as the time progressed, with
digitization and internet emergence, the world indeed is getting shrunk and
data is that one element which binds it together.
With the help of data, professional spaces can easily map the
following:-
I. Consumer behaviour,
II. Analysis
III. One also gets the awareness of the loop holes.
IV. It also gives an idea to the businesses on what aspects or trend to
concentrate on (where traction is high).
What is data science?
In a layman language, PGP data science can be defined as a technical and scientific way to extrapolate and process the structure and unstructured data.
Now, every industry in today’s time sustains through digital intelligence. Thus, in this space, it becomes all the more important to extract the data, learn from it and process it in an intelligent way so as to work towards a contributing result.
The work of data scientist can be briefly described in three stages:-
a.Firstly, record the raw data,
b. Secondly, Store and filter the data,
c. Analyze the data
Now a business is able to easily understand the consumer behaviour and
tap the potential by extracting data using the art of data science.
From banking to the health sector, data is created in its space
everywhere and this trend is estimated to be multiplied many folds in the
coming future.
Is a data scientist or data
analyst the same?
Many people feel that a data scientist or an analyst is just the same.
However, the answer to this notion is a big ‘NO’. Let’s dive into the
underlying reason quickly:-
1. A data scientist collects the raw data and studies it in depth. An
analyst on the other hand understands the processed data and analyses it to draw
conclusions.
2. Data filtration: A data scientist makes the raw data analysis ready.
By extrapolating useful information from the raw data, a data scientist
formulates hypothesis and statistics to make it understandable. Data analysts
on the other hand don't do this process.
So in short, data scientist in a way does the job of data mining and
data processing.
How does one become a Data
Scientist?
The answer to the above curiosity can be resolved in three words: “PGP in Data Science”!
Yes, unlike other conventional specialization courses, a PGP data science course is an
emerging course which has created a caught up attention of many eyeballs for
all the adherent reasons.
A PGP in data science is multidimensional course which trains the
students by imparting technical skills such as:-
1. Mathematics
2. Machine Learning
3. Data Engineering
4. Tools Required in Data Science
5. SQL, Python, R, etc.
The above subjects are taught along with practical projects. Such a curriculum
thus enables one to gain hand on experience while learning.
Eligibility for PGP in Data
Science course
Before making that ultimate dive into the course, one must first fulfill
the eligibility criteria. Here is a sneak peek into it:-
I. Students must have completed their undergraduate course.
II. One must have studied subjects such as Business Administration,
Commerce, Science, Engineering and mathematics.
III. The percentage criteria vary from institute to institute.
The most important
eligibility criterion is!
You must be passionate about it. You must have a longing to play with
algorithms, data, technology, business and more. If drive is lacking and the
sole motivation to join the course is money or status, then with 100% assurance,
you won’t feel contentment with your work. So the most important eligibility
criteria is to be really wanting to learn, grow and contribute in the data
science sector.
“Data Scientist” as
profession
You must have a got a fair idea on how the demand of data science is
increasing. From small business, startups to the big giants in the market,
everyone demand data scientist to grow their business and come up with
intelligent solutions. A data scientist draws lucrative package as per their
skills. The job promises a minimum of around 30K to 40K as initial salary which
keeps on increasing as one hones relevant experience.
Become a part of
data revolution and create your mark in the industries today through PGP Data
Science.
