Scope

The MTech CSE Data Science course opens up various career options for students after graduation, such as data analysis, machine learning engineering, data engineering, and applied research. There are also opportunities in specific sectors such as healthcare, finance, and smart city projects, as the coursework is still very applied throughout the program. The average salary of an MTech graduate in India is quite high, and with a specialization like data science, that range only goes higher with the increasing demand. Machine learning engineering, applied research, and senior data science positions tend to command the strongest packages, especially for graduates with a strong capstone project behind them.
