Why Study Data Science?
The amount of data is growing so rapidly as well as it's significance in the emerging societal
setups such as the pervasive Internet of Things. The way one imagines data is going to change in
the coming years. Both Big Data Analytics and pervasive computing hinge on the principle axis of

early-bird advantage.
Program Objectives
The MS (Data Science) program has been designed to give students the option to be part of a data
science endeavor that begins with the identification of business processes, determination of data
provenance and ownership, understanding the ecosystem of the business decisions, skill sets and
tools that shape the data, making data amenable to analytics, identifying sub-problems,
recognizing the technology matrix required for problem resolution, creating
incrementally-complex data-driven models and then maintaining them to ultimately leverage
them for business growth.
Individual objectives include:
- To equip students to transform data into actionable insights to make complex decisions.
- To enable students to understand and analyze problems and arrive at computable solutions.
- To expose students to the set of technologies that match those solutions.
- To gain hands-on experience on data-centric tools for statistical analysis, visualization and big data applications at the same rigorous scale as in a practical data science project.
- To understand the implications of handling data in terms of data security and business ethics.
