Today, all leading organisations across the world are using the data generated by their business to their advantage to not only remain competitive but to make key decisions across all departments. Data Science is increasingly becoming a lucrative career option. As Data Science Managers, will you be expected to code? Dr Abhijit Dasgupta (Director – Bachelor of Data Science and Big Data & Visual Analytics, SP Jain) shares in an article in Data Quest, a leading source for technology business information for India’s growing industry needs.



“You may not need to code but are definitely required to structure business logic into decision logic for somebody to code and set up the environment. Leading organisations have adopted the practice of conducting online coding challenges before selecting any candidates. It is critical that aspiring Data scientists are able to crack these challenges before moving further to subsequent rounds,” writes Dr Abhijit Dasgupta.
