Grade "A+" Accredited by NAAC with a CGPA of 3.46
Students will be able to apply principles of statistics, python programming, machine learning, probability and decision making in the context of data analysis. Moreover, they should design tested and effective advanced analytics models for decision making and communicate effectively in a variety of modes and contexts.
Expecting to build a solid business analytics foundation, this course has been designed to impart knowledge of machine learning and statistical methods for data analysis. The course shall also provide sufficient knowledge of python programming language for machine learning algorithms and python/ R programming for statistical methods. A brief introduction to neural networks and deep learning will also be covered.
Those who are interested in developing a strong foundation in business analytics and have graduated or are pursuing graduation (studied mathematics till class 12th level).
Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to enhance their skills in data analysis, python programming for machine learning and python/ R programming for statistical methods. They will also be able to find answers to the questions they don’t know the answers to. This course will help them to adapt themselves to the automated future of business intelligence.
