Placement

One of the primary objectives of the Department of Data Science is to nurture and develop a diverse set of technical, analytical, and professional skills among students while providing them with ample opportunities to explore their potential. The department is dedicated to equipping every student with the knowledge, exposure, and career readiness needed to pursue a path aligned with their passions and long-term goals.

Upon graduation, students typically explore three major career avenues:

Employment through On-Campus Placement Drives
Engaging with leading multinational companies, startups, and consulting firms across domains such as Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Software Development, and Cloud Computing.
Higher Education and Research Opportunities
Pursuing postgraduate studies and research programs in prestigious national and international universities, aided by strong academic foundations and guidance for competitive entrance examinations (GATE, GRE, CAT, etc.).
Entrepreneurship and Start-up Ventures
Leveraging innovation and technical skills to establish start-ups or join dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems, supported by institutional incubation and mentorship frameworks.

To support students in achieving their career aspirations, proactive and structured initiatives are undertaken by the university to enhance both the quality and quantity of placement opportunities.

Initiatives for Placements

The university follows a comprehensive placement readiness model, integrating technical, aptitude, and soft-skill development from the second year onward. Key initiatives include:

Industry-Led Training Programs
Specialized placement training sessions are conducted by industry experts for second- and third-year students, focusing on technical interviews, group discussions, and communication skills.
Competitive Coding Training
Intensive coding practice sessions enhance algorithmic thinking, problem-solving ability, and coding efficiency. Students regularly engage on platforms like HackerRank, LeetCode, and HackerEarth, which significantly improves their performance in technical assessments.
Expert Talks and Industry Interaction
Regular guest lectures and seminars by professionals on emerging technologies and industry trends broaden student perspectives and prepare them for evolving job markets.
Aptitude Development and Assessment
Structured aptitude and logical reasoning sessions are conducted throughout pre-final years. Students also undertake AMCAT tests to benchmark their employability and skill proficiency.
Full-Semester / One-year Internship
Students can undertake a full-semester / one-year internship in their final year, providing hands-on industry exposure and often leading to pre-placement offers (PPOs).
Global Certification Support
Students are encouraged and trained to appear for internationally recognized certifications such as AWS Cloud Practitioner, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to enhance their employability profile.
Peer and Alumni Mentorship
Alumni and final-year students actively conduct placement guidance sessions, mock interviews, and experience-sharing forums for pre-final year students.

Initiatives for Higher Studies

The department fosters a strong research and academic orientation among students aspiring for higher education:

Research Internship Program
Under the Research Internship Programme, final-year students inclined towards research can pursue research-based internships.
Higher Education Cells
The dedicated Higher Education Cell guides students seeking admissions to premier national and international universities, assisting in application processes, test preparation, and profile building.
Awareness Programs
Periodic sessions are organized to familiarize students with competitive examinations such as GATE, GRE, TOEFL, IELTS, and CAT.

Entrepreneurship and Innovation Support

To promote innovation and entrepreneurial spirit, the department collaborates closely with university support systems:

- Technology Business Incubator (TBI) Center
  The TBI incubation center provides financial assistance, mentoring, and technical infrastructure to help students convert innovative ideas into viable start-up ventures and market-ready products.
