I am a data scientist in an electronics manufacturing company in Chennai. I had joined this SCDL course to enable me to understand the concepts within data science. The admission procedure was quite is straightforward. 6 months into the course, the content has been excellent. All topics required (statistics, python, R, machine learning) have been covered in a clear and concise manner. The exam dates are flexible and study materials are precise. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to kick start a career in data science. As always, Symbiosis is one of the best distance education institutes in India.
