Should I focus on GATE Data Science for a career in MNCs or Data Analyst with a good package?

Ans: Dear

Future is bright...go ahead.

All the best

Ans: Clearing the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) with data science and artificial intelligence (AI) focus can open up various career opportunities. GATE scores are usually used for admission to PG programs in engineering and technology, and they can also be relevant for a few research and job opportunities. Potential careers to pursue post this include from higher education and research to teaching and academia; Data Science to AI developer to R&D and Consulting to jobs in MNCs or even Entrepreneurship. I must add GATE qualification can be a valuable asset, but practical experience and a well-rounded skill set are equally important for success in these dynamic fields. Best wishes.

Ans: Hello.

Pursuing an M.Sc. in Data Science after completing a B.Sc. (MPCS) is a good choice. It aligns well with your background in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science, providing a solid foundation for data analysis, machine learning, and advanced computational techniques.
You can join online courses like Coursera's Data Science Specialization by Johns Hopkins or Python for Data Science on edX.
