Summary
Analysts predict that India will have more than 11 million job openings for data scientists by 2026, a press communique from the varsity stated
The 12-month course will be offered online for graduates who studied mathematics in class XII
MIT Art, Design and Technology (MIT ADT) University in Pune has teamed up with an online learning platform, AI-Beehive, to jointly run a postgraduate diploma in Data Science.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed on December 23, between AI Beehive and MIT ADT University to cater to tech enthusiasts who wish to grab this opportunity to enhance their career prospects.
Analysts predict that India will have more than 11 million job openings for data scientists by 2026, a press communique from the varsity stated.
Mangesh Karad, executive president and vice-chancellor, MIT ADT University, said, “Today, we have a massive influx of data scientists working in a variety of industries. This demand arose as a result of brands and businesses that need to use data effectively. No wonder data scientists are becoming increasingly important and their increased demand in the job market has maximised the popularity of data science in Gen Z.”
MIT ADT, under its MIT Centre for Future Skills Excellence (MIT-FuSE) initiative, has introduced emerging technologies like Data Science, AI & ML, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Blockchain, RPA and SAP. These facilities are aimed at assisting students, faculty, research scholars, working professionals and tech-enthusiasts in up-skilling and staying updated with the rapidly changing technology.
The duration of the course will be 12 months, distributed over three trimesters. Eligible candidates can be a graduate of any stream but have Mathematics as a subject in Class XII.
Rupa Singh, founder of AI-Beehive, said, "This MoU was a perfect match as both AI-Beehive & MIT FuSE believe that along with consuming technology, the learner should be able to be a producer of technology and contribute to the society."
Data is essential for any company because it allows them to make decisions based on trends, statistics, and facts. Data science has evolved into a multi-disciplinary profession. Candidates will benefit from the postgraduate diploma in Data Science by gaining the technical knowledge and abilities needed to survive and prosper in today's fast-paced technology-driven world.
"Nowadays due to advancement in technology, everything is available at our fingertips. Although this is undeniably beneficial, it also comes with an overload of information. This abundance of information, without any guarantee of credibility, can increase the level of competition and be a roadblock in the success of career aspirants. Hence, teachers and institutions undertaking emerging technology training have the responsibility to guide students on the right information and ethical usage of technology,” S.K.Singh, advisory board member of AI-Beehive.
All programmes will be delivered through LMS and can be accessed via a web-based learning app. In January 2022, the next class of SAP, Data Science, Cybersecurity, AI/ML, Blockchain Technology, Robotic Process Automation, and Cloud Computing will begin at the varsity.
