Department of Mathematics offers Five-Year Integrated MSc Program in Data Science and this Program covers topics in computer science along with mathematics and statistics so that students will be able to analyze, contextualize, and draw insights from the data. The program offers strong preparation in statistical modeling, machine learning, optimization, management and analysis of massive data sets, and data acquisition. This program helps students to become Data Scientists and also prepares them for pursuing higher studies. In order to deal with vast amount of data sets generated by businesses, healthcare, sensors, the Internet, surveys, social media, astronomy, human space exploration and operations, and aeronautics, the curriculum includes cutting-edge topics such as Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Pattern Recognition, Data Visualization, and Data Modeling and Business Analytics. Students are encouraged to enroll in internships or in-plant training programs during the summer and/or winter vacations. In fact, the Program is designed to blend the skills in mathematics and statistics with the advent of computing facility in providing solutions to the challenging problems of aforementioned domains.
The curriculum is so designed to enable students to explore opportunities for internship in their Ninth semester. Further, a substantial opportunity is given to the students for independent study and research in the form of a mini project in eighth semester and a project work transforming it into Dissertation. This project work will typically involve literature survey, investigation and their contribution over a particular area of Mathematical Sciences. This dissertation will result in a research article for publication in a reputed journal and is strongly believed to help aspirants planning for PhD.
The students exchange program is another vital feature that helps students who wish to explore the possibilities of higher studies in top Universities of USA and Europe countries.
This program primarily focusses on the application of Statistics to almost each and every discipline and is efficient to meet the demands of today’s world be it Big Data, Machine Learning, Data Mining or any other field.
