- What projects — you build.
- How to check — the official syllabus.
- Interview questions — the course prepares you for.
SECTION 01Foundations: Python, SQL and data handling
The course typically starts with the tools every data scientist uses daily. Python basics come first, then NumPy for arrays and pandas for tables, followed by SQL for querying databases. The focus is on loading, cleaning, joining and summarising real-looking datasets, because most data science work begins with messy data. This is a typical breakdown; the official module list may differ:
| Module | Key topics | You practise | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Python basics | Types, loops, functions, files | Small scripts | Foundation for everything |
| NumPy | Arrays, vectorised maths | Array operations | Fast numeric work |
| pandas | DataFrames, cleaning, groupby, merge | Clean and summarise datasets | Daily data handling |
| SQL | SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY, window functions | Query sample databases | Data lives in databases |
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({
"customer": ["A", "B", "B", "C"],
"city": [" delhi", "Noida ", "Noida ", None],
"spend": ["1200", "850", "850", "n/a"],
})
df = df.drop_duplicates()
df["city"] = df["city"].str.strip().str.title().fillna("Unknown")
df["spend"] = pd.to_numeric(df["spend"], errors="coerce")
print(df)
print(df.groupby("city")["spend"].agg(["count", "mean"]))
-- Monthly spend per customer, with a running total
SELECT
customer_id,
DATE_TRUNC('month', order_date) AS month,
SUM(amount) AS monthly_spend,
SUM(SUM(amount)) OVER (
PARTITION BY customer_id
ORDER BY DATE_TRUNC('month', order_date)
) AS running_total
FROM orders
GROUP BY customer_id, DATE_TRUNC('month', order_date)
ORDER BY customer_id, month;
SECTION 02Statistics, visualisation and machine learning
Next, the course typically covers the statistics needed to understand data and models: distributions, sampling, correlation and hypothesis testing. Visualisation with Matplotlib or Seaborn helps you explore and explain patterns. Machine learning with scikit-learn then covers regression, classification and clustering, with a strong focus on splitting data correctly and choosing the right evaluation metric:
| Module | Key topics | You practise | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Statistics | Distributions, sampling, hypothesis tests | Compare groups | Sound conclusions |
| Visualisation | Histograms, scatter plots, bar charts | Explore and explain data | Clear communication |
| Supervised ML | Regression, classification, trees, ensembles | Train and tune models | Core prediction skills |
| Evaluation | Train/test split, cross-validation, metrics | Compare models fairly | Trustworthy results |

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.metrics import classification_report
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.pipeline import make_pipeline
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
X, y = load_breast_cancer(return_X_y=True)
X_tr, X_te, y_tr, y_te = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.25, stratify=y, random_state=42)
models = {
"logistic": make_pipeline(StandardScaler(), LogisticRegression(max_iter=1000)),
"forest": RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42),
}
for name, m in models.items():
m.fit(X_tr, y_tr)
print(name)
print(classification_report(y_te, m.predict(X_te), digits=3))
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats
rng = np.random.default_rng(1)
version_a = rng.normal(5.0, 1.0, 200) # simulated minutes on page
version_b = rng.normal(5.3, 1.0, 200)
t, p = stats.ttest_ind(version_a, version_b, equal_var=False)
print(f"mean A={version_a.mean():.2f}, mean B={version_b.mean():.2f}")
print(f"t={t:.2f}, p={p:.4f}")
print("difference unlikely to be chance" if p < 0.05 else "no clear difference")
SECTION 03Deep learning basics, deployment and projects
Later modules typically introduce deep learning concepts, such as neural networks with TensorFlow or PyTorch, and basic deployment, such as serving a model through an API. The course then focuses on projects: guided mini-projects throughout and a capstone that takes a problem from raw data to an explained, evaluated model. Career preparation, such as resume and mock interview practice, usually runs alongside. Confirm the exact content with a counsellor:
| Module | Key topics | You build | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deep learning intro | Neural networks, training basics | A simple image or text model | Understand modern methods |
| Deployment basics | Saving models, simple APIs | A prediction API | Models people can use |
| Capstone project | End-to-end problem solving | Data to explained model | Portfolio proof |
| Career preparation | Resume, GitHub, mock interviews | Portfolio and practice answers | Interview readiness |
# pip install fastapi uvicorn scikit-learn joblib
# Run: uvicorn api:app --port 8000
import joblib
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel
app = FastAPI()
model = joblib.load("model.joblib") # saved after training
class Features(BaseModel):
values: list[float]
@app.post("/predict")
def predict(f: Features):
proba = float(model.predict_proba([f.values])[0][1])
return {"probability": round(proba, 3)}
Capstone project outline (example):
1. Problem: predict which customers may cancel a subscription
2. Data: load, clean and document quality issues
3. EDA: charts and key patterns
4. Baseline model and metric choice explained
5. Improved model with cross-validation
6. Error analysis: where the model fails
7. Simple API or app for predictions
8. README: problem, approach, results, limitations

SECTION 05Tips for getting the most from the course
These habits help you learn more from any data science course:
- Practise after every class — data science is learned by doing.
- Do not skip statistics — it explains why models work.
- Push projects to GitHub — build your portfolio as you go.
- Explain your metrics — interviewers ask why you chose them.
- Ask questions early — small gaps grow if left unanswered.
SECTION 06Interview Q&A — data science fundamentals
Q1What is overfitting?
When a model learns noise in the training data and performs well on it but poorly on new data; detect it by comparing training and validation performance.
Q2Why split data into training and test sets?
To measure how well a model performs on data it has not seen, which estimates real-world performance.
Q3When would you use precision versus recall?
Precision when false positives are costly, recall when missing true cases is costly, and F1 when you need a balance.
Q4What is cross-validation?
Splitting data into several folds and training and testing multiple times to get a more reliable estimate of performance.
Q5How do you handle missing values?
Investigate why they are missing, then drop, impute or flag them, fitting any imputation on training data only.
