In the article published in Techgraph, Dr Abhijit Dasgupta (Assistant Professor and Director—Bachelor of Data Science), SP Jain School of Global Management, talks about the collaborative efforts between academia and industry to ensure that graduates are well-prepared for the demands of the job market in data science and analytics.
In the article, he highlights the increasing demand for data science graduates and the skills required to meet this demand, underlining the importance of a versatile approach combining theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Dr Dasgupta lays emphasis on the importance of continuously updating the curriculum to make sure that students are employable and meet the evolving needs of the job market.
He concludes by stating that “At a college-grad level, networking does not work as much in India as it would in the USA. However, the institution must be well networked to attract the companies to recruit their students. Professional Networking works at a later stage of the career somewhere with at least 3 years of experience. At the level of a college grad, one has to get assisted by the institution or search for jobs / open positions on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and other job portals.”
