About the department

About AI & Data Science

The Department of Data Science at The Institute of Science, led by Professor Selby Jose, offers two postgraduate programs: M.Sc. Mathematics and M.Sc. Data Science. In 2019 and again in 2023 (as per NEP), the curriculum was updated to meet industry standards, benefiting students who have been placed in various companies. A highlight was the launch of M.Sc. Data Science in 2021-2022, reflecting the department's commitment to meet the demand for data science education.

The department emphasizes research quality and faculty development, often organizing webinars and workshops. SIGMATICS, an annual event, promotes mathematics among school students. Workshops are held to prepare students for teaching eligibility tests. The department provides a mini library with over 600 books and e-books. Overall, the department aims to excel with the collaboration of students, faculty, and the university.
