Hyderabad: Manipal ProLearn, a professional learning platform and a division of Manipal Global Education Services (MaGE), announced its new campus for delivering its highly successful Data Science programme in Hyderabad today.

Dr Yogesh Kumar Bhatt, Vice President- Education and Training, Manipal ProLearn said, “There are over three lakh engineering students who graduate to join the workforce every year in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. With the nature of jobs evolving quickly, especially in the STEM-based roles, it is necessary for the youth to upskill, to remain relevant even in the short term. Hyderabad’s dominance as a hub for tech-based jobs and the emergence of Amaravathi in the near future demand a host of new-age skills from the fresh talent in the region. The programme in Data Science, through its cutting-edge curriculum, is well-aligned to provide job ready professionals to meet talent requirements of the industry.”

The programme shall provide a PG Diploma from the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) along with Manipal Placement Guarantee, which is assured job placements, for all students who complete the course successfully. The programme incorporates eight months of classroom training and three months of internship.

Fuelled by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, demand for data science professionals has been growing exponentially. The supply of skilled candidates, however, is unable to grow at the same rate as the demand. Manipal ProLearn has been the pioneer in realizing the potential of data science and started their programme ‘Post Graduate Diploma in Data Science’ in association with Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) back in 2016.
