Praxis Business School, considered a pioneer in Analytics education in India, offers a very successful 1 year full time program in Data Science. The program is offered from both of its campuses in Kolkata and Bangalore and has two intakes starting in January and July. The unique aspect of the program is that it is one of the very few full-time, face-to-face programs in Data Science and takes ownership of the placement process. Praxis Business School focuses on offering students a comprehensive Data Science experience, thus equipping them with the knowledge and skills required for a career in this domain. This implies far more coverage, rigor and hands-on lab-work for a successful Data Science career than the average tool-based program (s).
The program has evolved constantly to keep pace with the changing Data Science landscape. The Praxis faculty have strived tirelessly to upskill themselves and deliver the most contemporary techniques to the students.
