Data science is also a part of computer science but it requires a lot more knowledge of maths and statistics. computer science deals with programming software and hardware where data science deals with analytics , programming , and statistics. The choice between data science or computer science depends upon your future endeavours and goals you want to pursue. According to me VIT chennai would be a much better choice in terms of its ranking and placements which are far better than psg college.

Vit chennai, nirf ranking is under 20

Psg, nirf ranking-46

Median salary for a cs graduate from vit is 8-9 lakh CTC while it's 3-5 lakhs in PSG.

I hope this clears some of your dilemma.

Good luck

Hi Aspirant,

In the new era of Big Data, PSG - M.Sc Data Science was introduced during 2015 to solve the exponential growth and curse of dimensionality in giant databases accumulated by the industries. Companies are earnestly seeking data scientists to deal with the challenges of Big Data.

At V.I.T  B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission and Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, both the Institutions have their own name of fame but when compared 5Year Integrated M.Sc is Better.
