The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (Data Science) [CSE(DS)] at NRI Institute of Technology (A) was established in 2020 to meet industry demands and equip students for careers in Data Science. The department initially admitted 60 students, with the intake expanding to 120 in 2022-23 and 180 in 2023-24.

The B.Tech. program in Computer Science and Engineering (Data Science) [CSE(DS)] adopts an interdisciplinary approach, combining scientific methods, hands-on training, and statistical analysis to solve real-world challenges. As one of the fastest-growing fields, it equips students with industry-relevant skills to develop analytics-driven solutions.

Data Science is a vital part of modern B.Tech education, merging computer science, mathematics, and business intelligence to extract insights from data. As a fast-growing field, it offers high-paying careers in AI, analytics, and automation. By integrating programming, statistics, and machine learning, it equips students with practical skills to solve real-world challenges and drive innovation. This interdisciplinary approach prepares graduates for in-demand roles in tech-driven industries, ensuring they acquire cutting-edge, future-ready expertise in a data-driven world.

The Data Science Department transforms data into insights, driving decision-making, problem-solving, and innovation. It provides a strong foundation in Computer Science and Engineering with specialized expertise in Data Science.

The CSE(DS) department has established the Data Analytics and Research Engineers (DARE) Club to enhance students’ proficiency in Data Analytics by equipping them with essential tools and techniques. The club organizes seminars, technical series (hackathons), technical quizzes, guest lectures, and workshops, providing hands-on learning experiences and insights into emerging trends in Data Science. These activities, conducted at the department and club levels, foster skill development and industry readiness.
