Top 10 Data Science Bachelor’s Programs in Indian Colleges

These data science bachelor's programs are popular in India

Currently, Indian students are a lot more inclined in doing a bachelor's degree in data science. Here are the top 10 bachelor's degree programs in India that students can pursue.

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal's data science and engineering program is interdisciplinary and provides exposure to students to handle data, have an understanding of different tools and techniques to perform analytics on the data and the most focal point is that the program offers domain knowledge in natural science, economic sciences, and engineering sciences. This program is part of the institute's BS program in engineering sciences. A student can enter into the DSE program from natural science, economics science, and engineering science streams. The DSE follows a common curriculum for the first year of the program. In the 2nd year (pre-Major) curriculum, compulsory courses (9/10 credits) in each semester that are offered from various departments need to take. These courses are offered by the mathematics, economic sciences, and EECS department. These courses expose students to various computational, statistical tools and techniques. Based on the academic record and interest, students can opt for DSE Major at the end of 2nd year. Students from natural sciences, economic sciences, and engineering sciences can apply for the DSE program. However, the prospective students need to ensure that the pre-Major compulsory courses for DSE Major are taken in the 2nd year.

Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT)

Data science (in collaboration with LatentView Analytics) from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) encompasses the areas such as developing accurate and efficient numerical methods for solving physical or biological models, analysis of numerical approximations to differential and integral equations, developing computational tools to better understand data and structure, etc. Data science (in collaboration with LatentView Analytics) from the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) curriculum is designed to meet the needs of sophisticated mathematics, computing, and data science in modern scientific investigations, technological innovations, business management.
