About the author<\/i><\/b>: <\/span>Srijan Shashwat, a student of BITS Pilani, took the data science training from Internshala. He shares how the training helped him grasp the core concepts of data science.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I am currently taking a course called <\/span>Probability and Statistics<\/span><\/i> in my college. This course got me interested in statistics and its applications in various fields ranging from business to finance to economics. So I read a couple of blogs such as <\/span>Towards Data Science<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Analytics India<\/span><\/i> and learned about data science. I realised how data science, which is a combination of statistics and computing, is being used to solve real world problems. This intrigued me, and\u00a0 <\/span>I wanted to channelise this passion for statistics, data, and machine learning into usable knowledge and projects based on real-life scenarios. However, this can be a daunting task without formal guidance. This is where Internshala Trainings came into the picture for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

One day, when I was looking for work-from-home internships on Internshala, I saw that they were offering courses on data science, machine learning, etc. By collaborating with Analytics Vidhya, Internshala was offering an affordable course whose content and delivery could be trusted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The six-week course began with learning basics of statistics and ended with using supervised ML models on real data sets. Although all modules were interesting, I found the statistics module to be the best because it is the theoretical foundation of data science. Analytics Vidhya and Internshala did a good job of covering these concepts. In terms of projects, I enjoyed working on the one related to retail banking. The entire learning process was smooth and probably the best utilised six weeks of my academic life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the training, I was able to grab an internship at Sable Edtech Private Limited, which is an early growth startup. This was possible not only because I had a certificate but also the required skills and projects. The selection process consisted of a resume screening and an interview with the chairman of the company. I was asked questions regarding my academic background in computer science and the tools I was comfortable working with such as Excel, Python libraries, Django framework, and so on. I have joined the team as a product intern, and my responsibilities include market research, user research and analysis, UI\/UX, product development, and other activities related to the product lifecycle.<\/span><\/p>\n
