Data Science Course at Madras School of Economics (MSE)

Madras School of Economics is a very prestigious institute established in Tamil Nadu. The two year PGDM program at Madras School of Economics has two streams.

Research and Business Analytics
The specialisation in Research and Business Analytics offers electives such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data, and domain specific analytics courses such as medical analytics, in order to cater to industry demand in fast-growing areas. 

Finance/ Financial Engineering
The specialisation in Finance includes in-depth theoretical and empirical coursework in asset pricing and corporate finance. Electives offered include stochastic calculus, derivatives pricing, computational techniques in finance and market microstructures. 

In the first year at Madras School of Economics, the course structure is pretty similar for both the streams.  Only in the second year, the stream specific courses start kicking in.

If you look at the course structure, of the research and business analytics stream at MSE, you will see that it competes with the PGDBA course at ISI-IIT-IIM, Masters in Management (M.Mgt) in business analytics at IISc, Bengaluru, and Master of Science in Data Science at CMI. 

Course wise, it looks good. And the delivery of the course will definitely be open to subjective judgement. If you look at the placement statistics of the batch 2019-21, the highest of ~16 lakhs and the average of ~10 lakhs, with a 100 percent placement record, is better than the M.A. Program at MSE.
