From E&ICT Academy, IIT Roorkee

Module 1: Programming & Data Foundations

  • Python Fundamentals: Build comfort with variables, data types, conditionals, loops, functions, and core data structures to write programs that manipulate real data.
  • Notebook Workflow: Use Jupyter/Colab to run experiments, document analysis, and package work as shareable deliverables.
  • Working with CSV & JSON: Read/write structured data, validate schemas, and fix common issues like missing values, wrong types, and inconsistent formats.
  • API Fundamentals: Use Python to fetch real-world data via REST APIs, handle status codes, authentication keys, pagination, and convert responses into usable datasets.

Module 2: Data Analysis with NumPy & Pandas

  • NumPy Essentials: Use arrays and vectorized operations for fast computation and numeric manipulation.
  • Pandas Core Operations: Perform filtering, sorting, grouping, aggregation, joins/merges, pivots, and date/time handling on datasets.
  • Data Cleaning & Preparation: Build repeatable workflows for missing values, duplicates, outliers, inconsistent categories, and messy text fields.
  • Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Ask structured questions, compute key metrics, and discover patterns that guide decisions or modeling.
