Anyway, to begin with, please search for any 'Software Training & Placement Institutes' either in your location or nearby city. To get an idea about this type of Institute, visit the website of 'Besant Technologies'. They provide comprehensive range of courses to not only fresh graduates but also to others regardless of other background/graduation year.

Some of the institutes provide job assistance and even give job guarantee (based on your performance during training/interview).

Please check and go through the above Institute's Website (as an example) and search for same type of Institutes, personally visit some institutes (especially those which assures job), choose the right course for you and join.

As far as Data Science is concerned, this type of Institute also provided the same.

Hello sir, My son is appearing for ICSE exam this year ie 2025, I want him to join isii data science course after +2, can you please suggest how to prepare him for the data science entrance exam for next two years.

Ans: Hello dear.
Congratulations on planning to get admission to IISC for your son. Admission is highly competitive, so early preparation will be beneficial. Here are some tips: (1) Strong Focus on the Core subject of Mathematics (2) Learn Python and SQL programming skills (3) Participate in Mathematics Olympiads (RMO, INMO) (4) Join a Coaching Program to learn ISI-specific training (like PiVerb, Cheenta). (5) Encourage solving puzzles and logic games (Sudoku, Chess, Codeforces). (6) In class 10- Build strong basics in ICSE Math, start Olympiad-level problems (7) In class 11 - Solve tough problems, focus on Calculus & Algebra, and start Python (8) In class 12 - take mock tests, solve past ISI papers, revise Probability.
Efforts are endless. One has to make efforts to master the skills from all angles as the DS field is highly challenging. Keep motivating him in any situation i.e. at the time of success or failure. Best of luck to him for his upcoming bright career.
