“We have lots of data – now what?”
(How can we unlock real value from our data?)
The data scientist career path is
probably the hottest career choice a student can currently make. For three years in a row, data scientist has been named
the number one job in
the U.S by Glassdoor. What’s more, the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics reports
that the rise of data science need will create 11.5 million job openings
by 2026. Not only is there a huge demand for data science, but there is also a
noticeable shortage of qualified data scientists.
Daniel Gutierrez, Managing Editor of Inside BIGDATA, told Forbes, “The word on the street is
there’s definitely a shortage of people who can do data science.”
Data science is used by “computing professionals who
have the skills for collecting, shaping, storing, managing, and analyzing data
as an important resource for organizations to allow for data-driven decision
making.” Almost every interaction with technology includes data—your Amazon
purchases, Facebook feeds, Netflix recommendations, and even the facial
recognition required for Signing-In into your phone. Data science experts are
needed in virtually every job sector—not just in technology.
Pursuing a career in data science is a smart move, not just
because it is trendy and pays well, but because data very well may be the pivot
point on which the entire economy turns.
Our university has launched specialization for B.Tech in DataScience to prepare students to gain that knowledge which is required by the
companies in data science stream. Some faculties are especially devoted to data
science stream and proper training programs have been conducted for the
faculties as and when required to cope up with the industry requirements.
Some of
the leading data science careers and their corresponding average salaries are-
·

There is a clear need for
professionals who understand a business need, can devise a data-oriented
solution, and then implement that solution.
