The power of a Master’s degree in Data Science is the setting pathways for students to be a leader in that field. Govt. of India and Private sectors are providing lots of endorsements and thrust in the areas of Data Science. The Postgraduates in M.Tech will find themselves identifying cutting edge research opportunities at various Research Laboratories as well as several industries which are currently involved in this field. The candidates can find many job opportunities in abroad as well. The candidates can pursue Ph.D. or move into the field of research in India or abroad. The scope in research is much higher. Students can also apply for a job of Assistant Professor in IITs, NITs, IIITs, government / private Universities and engineering institutes.
M.Tech Programmes in Cyber Security, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will equip the students with the necessary skills to work with the innovative technologies in industries on one hand and pursue high-end researches in premium Universities / Institutes in India and abroad on the other. Research opportunities are growing day by day for these three emerging specialized fields and it will continue.
