HOD's Message

Welcome to the Department of Data Science !

Data Science will revolutionize every industry in the near future. India has the opportunity to be the talent provider to the world for data science. Spurring data science-based innovation and establishing data science-ready infrastructure will be critical for preparing India's jobs and skills markets for a data science-based future. Keeping in mind the extraordinary importance of data science, Loyola College has decided to start the Department of Data Science and offer M.Sc (Data Science) Programme from June 2019. At present, the department has three experienced staff members, two of them with Ph.D qualification and one with M.Tech qualification.

Be it financial services, healthcare, education or even security and governance, data science can be utilised for the benefit of citizens and the country. The global economic impact associated with the use, development, and adoption of data science from 2018 through 2025 is expected to be whopping $1.84 trillion to $2.95 trillion!

Within a short span of five months, we have organized three workshops and three guest lectures. Apart from the regular classroom sessions, our students get the opportunity of attending a lot of guest lectures by industry experts, doing intensive lab work and discussing several business case studies. The students will undergo an internship program at the end of second semester and carry out a major project in the fourth semester. We wholeheartedly welcome students to join M,Sc (Data Science) Programme and reap the rich benefits that it offers.
