Hi sir. I got a seat in SRM Ktr campus in CSE - Big Data Analytics. Is is worth joining SRM ? And also, is big data analytics a good specialisation when compared to cse core , AIML or data science? , because I've heard the average packages for cse core , aiml and data science is far better than big data analytics. That is why I'm rethinking my decision. I also got cse core in VIT AP. Which one should I choose according to your opinion?

Ans: Based on the following inputs/information, choose the more suitable one for you out of the 2 options of Data Science & Data Analytics: Data science focuses on creating predictive models and uncovering insights from vast, often unstructured datasets using machine learning, advanced statistics and programming, positioning practitioners for innovation but demanding stronger technical proficiency and research?oriented thinking. Data analytics concentrates on processing and interpreting structured data for immediate business decisions via BI tools, SQL and visualization, offering faster entry and clear ROI but narrower scope and lower average remuneration over time. In India, data science roles are projected to grow by over 26% annually, driven by AI and big?data investments, whereas data analytics is set to expand at a 27.5% CAGR to USD 27 billion by 2033, underpinning digital initiatives across sectors.

Recommendation:
Data science offers broader future opportunities in India’s AI?driven economy; prioritize it for innovative, high?growth roles despite its steeper learning curve and technical demands. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
