Hello Rahul!

Before answering which course you can choose, let me differentiate between data science and data analyst fields based on certain criteria:

Data science is a field of computer science that deals with interpretation, analysis, extracting useful information and applying the results and conclusions of it to enhance the business outcome. Data science requires strong technical background, and a knowledge in fields like Big data, ML and ofcourse mathematics is very much needed. Data scientists have highly demand and also are very well paid.

Data analysts, on the other hand do not require too much of technical background. The main role of a data analyst is to analyse the huge data and draw conclusions from it. They require more business skills and need to be able to effectively comminicate their findings to others. usually they are less paid than data scientists on an average.

Now, before choosing data science or data analyst course, it is important to learn coding. Without coding, you cannot succeed in either of the courses. Preferable programming languages common to both courses is python. Python is easy to learn, however, it is recommended to learn a core language like C, C++ or java. After gaining knowledge in programming and algorithms, you can decide which course to take as per your interest.

All the best!
