What are the challenges of getting a data scientist job if data science is in demand?
Competency is a keyword to be kept in mind if you wish to be hired as a data scientist. With the increasing demand for data scientists, companies are in search of candidates with exceptional skills in data science.
A data scientist should have sound analytical skills, technical skills to perform tasks using various tools and techniques, programming ability, knowledge of statistics and understanding of the business. FITA Academy ensures you get those skills through the Data Science Course in Chennai.
As a Data Scientist, you need to find the important aspects of data using math and statistics skills, correlate and find the linkage between different sets of data, develop models with the data using programming languages like Python or R and provide valuable business insights or strategies for the company. Possessing exceptional knowledge in statistics without sufficient programming skills or a clear understanding of the business leads nowhere close to becoming a data scientist.
Though most companies hire freshers from IITs, aspiring candidates from any university with expertise in skill sets can become data scientists. The Data Science Course in Chennai, provided by FITA Academy, helps you acquire the desired skill sets to land your dream career as a Data Scientist.
Anyone willing to become a data scientist can acquire and develop the above mentioned skills by joining the Data Science Classes In Chennai, provided by FITA Academy. Training is provided by professionals with more than a decade of experience in this field which will enable candidates to increase their competency to excel in their career as a data scientist.
What are the differences between Data scientist vs Data Analyst vs data engineer?
Data science has become the most prominent word in recruitment sites due to its demand in various organizations around the world. You could have noticed various designations like Data Scientists, Data Analyst, Data Engineer, and various other terms also. Some people tend to think that these terms are synonymous and use them interchangeably. Although, all the three roles involve the usage of data, let us discuss the differences among Data Scientist, Data Analyst and Data Engineer.
The key difference lies in the various tasks they perform using the data.
Data Analyst: Data Analysts add value to the organization by utilizing the data to answer questions and arrive at better solutions for business problems. This is the role predominantly given to entry-level professionals in the Data Science field. Typical tasks of a Data Analyst consist of data cleaning and creating visualizations of the findings, helping the company make better data-driven decisions.
Data Scientist: Data Scientists use their expertise in statistics and develop Machine Learning models to make predictive analyses and answer vital business problems. Data scientists unfold business insights from the data using supervised or unsupervised learning methods in their ML models. Data scientists train their mathematical models to identify better patterns to predict business trends accurately. The key difference between a Data Analyst and a Data Scientist is that a Data scientist provides a whole new approach to understanding data and builds models for new questions. In contrast, a Data Analyst analyzes recent trends using the data and converts the results for key business decisions.
Data Engineer: Data Engineers help optimize the systems, allowing data scientists and analysts to perform their tasks. A data engineer’s task is to ensure data is appropriately collected, stored and made available to its users. Data engineers should possess strong technical knowledge for the creation and integration of API (Application Program Interface) and help in the maintenance of the data infrastructure.
In the following table, you can find the skill set required for these three roles in Data Science.
Data Engineer | Data Analyst | Data Scientist |
SQL | Analytics | R/Python coding |
Data warehousing | Data warehousing | SQL |
Hadoop | SQL | ML algorithms |
Data Architecture | Statistical skills | Data Mining |
Data Visualisation & reporting | Data Visualisation & reporting | Data optimisation and decision making skills |
Data Science has grown rapidly in recent years due to its wide applicability in various sectors and helps in strategic decision making for organizations.
Anyone can achieve great heights in Data Science with the appropriate skillset. If you wish to acquire skills in the various roles associated with Data Science, you can enroll in the Data Science Course in Chennai, provided by FITA Academy.
What are the job opportunities on course completion?
There are ample job opportunities for our students on course completion. Students are trained in higher-level languages like R/Python, and SQL, by professional trainers with hands-on experience in the field.

- Business Intelligence Analyst
FITA Academy ensures all of its students enrolled in the Data Science Training in Chennai are ready for all the above mentioned job roles.
What is the hiring process of a data scientist?
The hiring process for the role of data scientist differs based on companies.
Most of the startups will have an aptitude test comprising probability, statistics, logical reasoning, etc. Programming tests will be conducted to check your skills in Python or R or SQL. On clearing the test, there will be a final interview by the HR or Technical team.
While in MNCs, there will be an aptitude test as the first round, followed by an interview with a senior data scientist or person in any designation equivalent to it. Here the technical knowledge of the candidate is gauged and if the candidate is technically eligible, there might be a technical test to check the ability and expertise of the candidate in advanced tools utilized by a data scientist. In some companies, the candidateโs way of thinking and problem-solving approaches are also evaluated before hiring.
FITA Academy helps students enrolled in the Data Science course in Chennai getting used to the interview process. 100% placement training is provided by FITA Academy at the end of the course.
Here are Some of the job roles after Completing the Data Science Course in Chennai at FITA Academy.
