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.
Module 3: SQL, Visualization & Data Storytelling
  • SQL Fundamentals: Query relational data using joins, aggregations, subqueries, and filters to extract analysis-ready tables.
  • Applied SQL for Analytics: Use window functions for ranking, cohort-style analysis, and running totals.
  • Visualization for Decision-Making: Learn chart selection, avoid misleading visuals, and build clear plots that answer real questions.
  • Storytelling with Data: Convert analysis into a structured narrative with context, evidence, insights, and recommendations.
Module 4: Maths & Statistics for Data Science (Applied)
  • Math Foundations Used in DS: Learn transformations, scaling, logs/exponentials, vectors, and similarity intuition through practical examples.
  • Probability & Distributions: Build intuition for randomness and variability, and how distributions show up in real datasets.
  • Sampling & Estimation: Understand why samples mislead, how uncertainty arises, and how to reason about reliability of insights.
  • Hypothesis Testing & A/B Testing: Learn the logic behind experiments and how to avoid false conclusions.
  • Correlation vs Causation: Learn how misleading relationships happen and how to communicate limitations responsibly.
Module 5: Machine Learning
  • ML Workflow & Problem Framing: Convert questions into ML problems, define success metrics, and set up training/validation/testing correctly.
  • Regression Models: Build and evaluate regression systems, interpret errors, and improve results with better features and preprocessing.
  • Classification Models: Build classification systems and evaluate with precision/recall/F1, confusion matrices, and threshold tuning.
  • Tree-Based Models: Train decision trees and understand ensemble intuition (random forests / gradient boosting) for stronger real-world performance.
  • Feature Engineering & Pipelines: Create robust preprocessing + modeling pipelines that are reusable and less error-prone.
  • Model Improvement & Debugging: Detect leakage, handle imbalance, perform basic tuning, and run error analysis to systematically improve.
Module 6: GenAI for Data Science
  • Prompt Engineering for Applications: Design prompts that follow instructions reliably, produce structured outputs, and handle edge cases with consistency.
  • LLM APIs with Python: Integrate LLMs into Python workflows, manage failures gracefully, and design clean input-output contracts.
  • Embeddings & Vector Search: Convert text into embeddings, build semantic search, and retrieve relevant context from large document sets.
  • RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): Build grounded Q&A systems by combining retrieval with generation, and reduce hallucinations through chunking and retrieval strategy.
  • Unstructured Data to Insights: Extract themes, summaries, and actionable insights from documents like PDFs, policies, support tickets, and internal knowledge bases.
Capstone Project
  • Build & Evaluate: Deliver a working solution with measurable outcomes and documented trade-offs.
