Teaching in a practical and fun way is my way 😊

A good question! For the non-technical person, I would recommend learning python by heart. After you know python, then you can decide because every latest technology is using python only. Happy learning! Ps: for non-technical people also, python is easy.

Even if you're coming from Non-Tech background, if you're strong in mathematics then with no doubt you can choose Data Science. Additionally Learning python programming would help you a lot.

Data science is best course, you can able to learn quickly as you are from non tech background. Data science is all about the analysis of data and interpretation. If you are one who is willing to learn on daily basis then I would suggest to go with data science. Practice and learning is necessary.

It certainly give you benefit. But path is long & not so easy. It dons't mean too long or tough. Take around 6 months of exhaustive learning. You also need to learn some related applications/system for execution.

Hello, I am Ali from Hyderabad, and I am into Telecom field as a Network Performance Engineer from the past 3 years, and as I don't find any growth in Telecom Field due to stability I am thinking to switch into IT field. And so far whatever I have researched I found Big Data is the demand in IT sector. 1. Can a non-IT guy with no programming/coding knowledge can step into Big Data? 2. How much scope does Big Data have or for how much years can we except Big Data around? 3. If I opt the course into your institute, will there be any real-time exposure during the course? 4. Can I easily get a job into Big Data as I am a non-IT person? And any experts or who have already taken course from any Institution and got helped in getting placements, please do suggest me which would be the best.

Hi, What is opinion on Big data analytics for MBA graduates who doesn't know coding. Please suggest. Is it Coding related course.
You should focus on the analytics part of Data Science, and not on big data. Analytics require knowledge of business along with Data Science skills.
