Computer Science & Engineering (Data Science)

Massive explosion in data and the expanding need of the industries to rely on data to create better products, offer improved services and take informed business decisions has made data science a reigning technology that will dominate industries today and tomorrow. The subject of Data Science encompasses other important disciplines like Statistics, Mathematics, and Programming. As a result, data science students of MCKV Institute of Engineering will be trained to imbibe multi-disciplinary learning approach and embrace a steep learning curve to become competent professionals in this field.

The students of B-Tech CSE with Data Science specialization from MCKV Institute of Engineering are encouraged to undertake innovative experiential projects to develop the proficiency of understanding diverse trends and patterns in the data. This course will enable data science engineering students to develop the skills of data extraction, manipulation, visualization, maintenance and a predictive ability from an efficient analysis of the data. In fact the new age data science professions must be endowed with a sound knowledge of machine learning algorithms. This helps the industries to evaluate any kinds of performance and suggest intelligent data insights to provide necessary solutions to boost it.
