Attend This Webinar By IIM Calcutta To Accelerate Your Career In Data Science – Analytics India Magazine

Even six years after data science gained prominence, it continues to gain much traction. Its field of application keeps growing day by day, attracting talent from a variety of disciplines. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that this is probably the best time to be a data scientist.

To cater to this growing demand for skilled data scientists, the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta (IIMC) is launching the fifth batch of its one-year Advanced Programme in Data Sciences (APDS). This programme is designed in collaboration with VCNow to bridge the talent gap that exists in this rather dynamic field.

About the Programme

The one-year programme offered by IIMC covers all the latest trends and advancements in data science. Designed specifically for working professionals, this programme will introduce the participants to different tools and techniques used in handling, managing, analysing, and interpreting data. Apart from this, the programme would also introduce various software like Tableau, Oracle SQL, Python, R, Hadoop for data management and analysis.

The programme is designed by IIM Calcutta and will be delivered by its esteemed faculty. In this programme, candidates will form small teams and undertake organisation-based specialised projects of their choice. The aim of this programme is to develop a rock-solid foundation in students who will be able to apply advanced quantitative and statistical tools for effective decision making which in turn will aid business transformation.

The fifth batch of APDS is open for working professionals/ graduates/ postgraduates with 3+ years of work experience in a role involving the handling and interpretation of data and young managers aspiring to build a career in data science. Applicants must have a basic understanding of Mathematics and Statistics. A background in quantitative techniques and data analytics tools is preferred.

To provide more clarity on this program, IIMC, in association with Analytics India Magazine, is organising a webinar — Get industry-ready with IIM Calcutta’s Advanced Programme in Data Science. This session will provide information on the programme, which will be followed by a Q&A session.
