Scope of Masters in Data Science  

Data dominates the entire world. Whether you look from a government perspective where they need to introduce a new scheme or see the perspective of a multinational company that wants to market a new product, it is only a set of data that guides them on what to do and how to do it. As the reliance on data is increasing daily to make wiser decisions, so is the need for data scientists.
