Elaborating on what Data Science students should learn more about if they want to succeed, Dr Dasgupta said, “You don’t get anywhere in the Data Science field without a solid understanding of Coding. Students looking to join top companies engaged in Data Science need a real understanding of data structures & algorithms. Secondly, to succeed, students need to acquire skills which are different from knowledge. Skills are ‘actionable knowledge’ and that is evidenced through hands-on knowledge of software products in areas (such as SAS, Cloudera, Amazon, Palisade, TensorFlow, Tableau etc.) Top-end coding skills supported by deep knowledge of two or three products would ensure success in seeking a position in a tier-1 company.”

He concluded by saying, “A degree with a high GPA from a reputable university will only give you an interview, but the skills will get you the job. I keep telling my students and mentees, look at an elephant – it has a beautiful tusk, and that’s for the show, but teeth beneath those beautiful tusks are the one that helps an elephant to eat. A degree is like the tusks, while skills are the teeth.”
