Hi Aspirant,

Sadly Yes , it is true that you cannot go for data scientists role with Arts stream because this would not fetch you admission into BTech or BSc in computer science or the field related to it which would have open up your career direction to a data scientist . But there is always a second chance to everyone. What I mean by this is that you can still become a data scientists. How?.... Let me explain you. First you can enroll into the degree course in undergraduate in Arts stream courses or you can go for Bachelor of Computer Applications(which has eligibility that student from any stream can do it). The one benefit that you will be having with BCA is that it will brush up most of the basics of Computer Science. After that you can enroll in some online courses related to Data Science as there are a lot of online courses and tutorials from some of the top universities of the world.
