A Bachelor of Science in Data Science is a four-years undergraduate degree program that focuses on the study of methods, processes, and systems to extract insights and knowledge from various forms of data. Profile of the program is as follows:
Core curriculum: The core curriculum of BSc Data Science program covers fundamental concepts in mathematics, statistics, computer science, and data analysis. Courses may include calculus, linear algebra, probability theory, programming languages (such as Python, R, and SQL), data structures, algorithms, and machine learning.
Data Analysis and Visualization: Students learn techniques of cleaning, transforming, and analysing data using statistical methods and software tools. Visualization techniques, such as creating plots, charts, and interactive dashboards, are emphasized to communicate effectively.
Machine Learning and Data Mining: Courses in machine learning and data mining explore algorithms and models for pattern recognition, classification, regression, clustering, and other tasks. Students learn how to apply machine learning techniques to real-world data set and evaluate model performance.
Big Data Technologies: As the volume and complexity of data increase, understanding big data technologies becomes essential. Students may learn about distributed computing frameworks like Hadoop and Spark, as well as techniques for handling large-scale data storage, processing, and analysis.
Database systems and data management: Understanding database systems and data management principles is crucial for organizing and accessing data efficiently. Students may study relational databases, NoSQL databases, data warehousing, and data integration techniques.
Domain Knowledge: BSc Data Science offers elective courses and specializations in specific domains such as healthcare, finance, marketing, or social sciences. These courses provide students with domain-specific knowledge and skills to address industry-specific challenges.
Capstone Project and Internship: Program includes capstone project and internship component where students work on real-world data science projects either within academic research groups or in industry settings. This hands-on experience allows students to apply their skills in a practical context and build their professional network.
The undergraduate degree program is divided into a mandatory course, discipline specific electives, and University elective area. In addition, student must choose university electives from a specified catalogue. The elective area serves to acquire additional technical, interdisciplinary, and professional skills.

Navrachana University offers its students’ the opportunity to pursue a Minor discipline along with their major degree program, following one’s interest, which facilitates the growth of additional skills. Minors are a means of diversifying the understanding of a topic and a reflection of who one is as an individual. For example, a student of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) can choose a minor in ‘Interior Design’.
To attain a Minor, the students will need to do 18 credit worth of courses designated to diversify interests and gain a professional edge!
Health Science | Computer Science & Engineering | Business Law Interior Design | General Management | Mechatronics | Film Production
The Khoj program has been one of the defining social immersion activities at Navrachana University. Conceived right during the inception of the University, the Khoj program was envisaged to be a vehicle to inculcate social awareness, empathy, and interdisciplinary skills among our students, with a larger aim of proposing solutions to societal problems through innovation, it is through intense, rigorous, and field-based activities that students come up with an increased sense of empathy and awareness towards their surroundings. This program was further strengthened by engaging on topics that are relevant and can be made visible to society at large, the program is conceived as a larger and more ambitious activity that is undertaken by students and faculty members during the semester break under the umbrella of KHOJ WINTER SCHOOL.
Public Health & Hygiene | Mental Health | Environment & Sustainability | Waste Management | Urban Development | Economics & Social Issues.
Each student undergoes two credit-based, on job internships:
Also, an integral part of degree program project-based learning under the mentorship of experienced faculty member.
Applicant must passed in 10+2 Examination / Equivalent Examination with at least 50% marks in aggregate in Science (A or B group ) / Commerce / Arts Stream
