Hi there,

As per the choices by you. I would suggest you to go with BCA or Bachelor of Computer Applications.

It is a three year undergraduate course which helps the candidate to explore more about computer science world with an exposure of industry needs.

See, you need to work on your skills in order to get better responses for your growth in computer science.

Data science is a very popular and highly demanding field which provides good exposure to Artifical intelligence and machine learning as well.

Usually, in this field a candidate needs to work on data sets by using various algorithm to make the data more accurate.

So go for BCA as it will help you in getting job more easily.

Hope this information will help.

Thank you!!!!

I would say, if you have a comprehensive knowledge of statistics, the career as a Data Scientist will be of a much more influence. So if you want to have a more fundamental level of learning with strong basics and a much more illustrious future, then my suggestion will be for you to go for the course of BSc statistics followed by MSc in Data Science. This will shape your knowledge ahead and it can be really beneficial for you.
