Course overview

From raw data to confident business decisions

Almost every organization — a neighborhood retailer, a hospital, a fintech start-up or a global manufacturer — now generates more data than it can comfortably use. Raw data rarely answers questions on its own. Someone has to ask the right question, find and clean the right data, analyze it with sound statistical reasoning, and then explain the result in a way that leads to action. That is the work of data analysts and data scientists, and it is what this program teaches you to do.

Data Science & Data Analytics is a 12-week, live online program that covers the complete modern analytics toolkit in a logical, cumulative order: spreadsheets for fast exploration, statistics for rigor, SQL for getting data out of databases, Python for cleaning and analysis at scale, Matplotlib, Seaborn and Power BI for communication, and an introduction to predictive analytics with scikit-learn. Instead of treating each tool in isolation, the course connects them into one end-to-end workflow, so you learn not only how to use a tool but when it is the right choice.

The skills taught here sit at the center of decision-making in almost every business function — marketing, sales, finance, operations, human resources and product. People who can query a database, check whether a result is statistically meaningful, build a dashboard that a manager trusts and explain what the numbers mean are valued well beyond the job title “analyst”. The program is designed to give you those abilities, along with the portfolio to demonstrate them.

Teaching follows a simple, repeatable rhythm: concept → live demonstration → guided practice → case study. Each week, your trainer introduces a concept, demonstrates it live on a realistic dataset, and then you practice it yourself during class. Weekly assignments consolidate the skill, and industry case studies — sales performance, marketing funnels, HR attrition, financial reporting and e-commerce behavior — show how the same techniques solve real business problems. The program closes with a capstone project and focused interview preparation.

The analytics lifecycle you will master

Every project in the course follows the same professional lifecycle, so that by the final week it has become second nature.

  1. Ask & acquire

    Frame a business question, define the metric that answers it and locate the data — in spreadsheets, databases or APIs.

  2. Clean & prepare

    Fix missing values, duplicates, inconsistent formats and outliers; join sources into one analysis-ready table.

  3. Analyze & model

    Explore patterns, test hypotheses, segment customers and, where useful, build a simple predictive model.

  4. Communicate & act

    Present findings in clear charts, dashboards and a concise recommendation that a decision-maker can act on.

Who should join

Who this course is for

The program starts from first principles and builds steadily, so it suits beginners as well as learners who already use data at work and want to formalize their skills. You will get the most from it if you recognize yourself in one of these descriptions:

  • College students in engineering, computer applications, science, commerce, management, economics or statistics who want to prepare for analyst roles in campus and off-campus hiring.
  • Recent graduates who want a structured, practical route into data analytics and a portfolio that shows employers what they can do.
  • Working professionals in finance, sales, marketing, operations, supply chain or HR who already live in spreadsheets and want to add SQL, Python and dashboarding to their skill set.
  • Software developers and IT professionals who want to move toward data roles or add analytics and business intelligence to their engineering skills.
  • Entrepreneurs and business owners who want to read their own numbers, track the right KPIs and make evidence-based decisions.
  • Career switchers from non-technical backgrounds who are ready to practice consistently between classes.
  • Postgraduate students and researchers who work with survey, experimental or operational data and want stronger statistical and programming skills.
  • Future machine-learning learners who want a solid foundation in data handling and statistics before moving on to advanced AI and ML.

Prerequisites

  • No prior programming experience is required. Python and SQL are taught from the ground up.
  • Comfort with school-level mathematics: percentages, ratios, averages and reading simple graphs. All statistics is taught from scratch.
  • Basic computer literacy: managing files and folders, installing software and using a web browser.
  • Curiosity about how businesses work, and the commitment to practice between live classes.

What you need

  • A laptop or desktop computer (Windows, macOS or Linux) that runs a modern browser, a spreadsheet application and Python smoothly. A phone or tablet alone is not sufficient for the hands-on work.
  • A stable internet connection for live video classes on Google Meet (a Google account may be needed to join).
  • A modern browser such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari; a headset with a microphone is strongly recommended.
  • Free accounts set up during Week 1: a Google account (for Google Sheets and Google Colab) and a GitHub account (for your portfolio).

A note for Mac users: Power BI Desktop, used in Week 10, runs only on Windows. On a Mac you can run it inside a Windows virtual machine, or complete the dashboard work in Tableau Public, which runs natively on macOS. Every other tool in this course works on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Is this the right program for you?

A great fit if you want to…

  • Answer business questions with data, end to end.
  • Become fluent in Excel, SQL, Python and Power BI together.
  • Build dashboards and reports that managers rely on.
  • Prepare for data analyst, business analyst or BI interviews.

Consider another program first if you want to…

Motivated school students are welcome if they are comfortable with the mathematics above. The minimum learner age is 10, and learners under 18 need the consent of a parent or legal guardian, collected in the registration form (see our Privacy Policy).

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a programming or mathematics background to join?

No. Python and SQL are taught from the beginning, and all statistics is built up from first principles. You only need comfort with school-level mathematics — percentages, ratios, averages and reading simple graphs — and basic computer skills. What matters most is regular practice between classes.

Is this a data analytics course or a data science course?

Both, with a deliberate emphasis. The core of the program is the complete analytics toolkit — Excel, statistics, SQL, Python, visualization and Power BI — applied to business case studies. It then introduces predictive analytics with scikit-learn, giving you a solid data-science foundation. If you later want to go deeper into machine learning and deep learning, our AI & Machine Learning course is the natural next step.

Will I need to buy any software?

No. Every tool used in the course is free or has a free version or alternative: Google Sheets can be used where you do not have Microsoft Excel, and Python, Jupyter, Google Colab, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Power BI Desktop, Tableau Public, Git and GitHub are all available free of charge. Week 1 includes a guided setup session. Note that Power BI Desktop runs only on Windows; Mac users can use a Windows virtual machine or complete the dashboard work in Tableau Public.

Can I join from outside India?

Yes. Live online classes are open to learners worldwide. Timings are scheduled in Indian Standard Time (IST), so choose a slot that suits your local time zone when you register. Learners outside India pay ₹30,000 + GST (₹5,400), a total of ₹35,400, charged in INR through Razorpay; international cards are accepted where supported by your bank, which sets its own conversion rate and charges.

When does the next batch start, and what are the class timings?

You choose your preferred slot — Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Weekend or Flexible — when you register. Our team then confirms the batch start date and final timings in IST after registration and before the batch begins. For the latest information on upcoming batches, call or WhatsApp us on +91 62830 97869 or +91 94652 65663.

Are offline (classroom) classes available?

Offline classes are coming soon and will be available only to learners in Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula. No launch date has been announced, and offline seats cannot be booked or paid for yet. If you are interested, message us on WhatsApp and we will let you know when offline batches open. Live online classes are open now.

What happens if I miss a live class?

Attendance matters: you need at least 75% live-session attendance to earn the Certificate of Completion. If you miss a session, work through that week’s study material and assignment and bring your questions to the next class or to the team for doubt-solving. If a recording of a session is made available, it is for your personal study only — not every session is recorded, so please plan to attend live.

How do I earn the Certificate of Completion?

You need at least 75% attendance in live sessions and must submit the required assignments and the final (capstone) project. The certificate is issued in the name you enter at registration, so please enter it exactly as you want it to appear.

Will this course guarantee me a job or placement?

No. We do not guarantee placements, jobs, internships or salaries. The program gives you job-relevant skills, a portfolio of projects, interview preparation and career guidance, but hiring outcomes depend on your own effort, background and the job market.

How much does the course cost, and is GST included?

The course fee is ₹24,000 plus GST at 18% (₹4,320), for a total of ₹28,320 for learners in India, or ₹30,000 plus GST (₹5,400), for a total of ₹35,400 for learners outside India. The tier depends only on your country of residence, and both are charged in INR. Prices are exclusive of GST. You pay online through Razorpay using UPI, cards, net banking or wallets, and a GST-compliant tax invoice is issued to your registered email address. Enter your GSTIN during registration if you need a business invoice. Your seat is confirmed only after the payment is captured and verified with Razorpay.

What is the refund and cancellation policy?
  • Before the batch starts, or within the first 4 days from the batch start date: 100% refund of the full amount paid (course fee + GST).
  • On day 5, 6 or 7 from the batch start date: 50% of the course fee plus the GST attributable to that 50% is refunded.
  • From day 8 onward: no refund. A one-time transfer to a later batch may be granted at the academy’s discretion, subject to seat availability, to be used within 6 months.
  • Batch cancelled by us, or start postponed by more than 30 days: a 100% refund of the amount paid (including GST) or a free transfer — your choice.

Days are counted in calendar days from the batch start date (the first scheduled live session). GST is refunded in proportion to the refunded fee. Approved refunds are made to the original payment method only. Full details, exclusions and the request process are in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Can I switch to a different course or a later batch?

Yes. You can switch to another course (all courses have the same fee) free of charge, once, before your batch starts or within the first 4 days of the batch. Transfers to a later batch follow the rules in our Refund & Cancellation Policy. Fees are per learner and cannot be transferred to another person.
