Question

Can a commerce graduate do Data Science?

Answer 1

Yes, a commerce graduate can do data science. You just need to have a minimum of a UG degree in any specialization to become a Data Scientist. Having a UG degree is a requirement for most of the entry-level Data Science jobs. The relevant disciplines to become a Data Science are Finance, Economics, Maths, Statistics, Computer Science, and Information Management.

If you are from non IT background, you need to showcase your skills and build a strong profile showing your skills to become a Data Scientist. So, enroll for a certification course from recognized institutes and add them to LinkedIn, uploading your best projects on GitHub, and writing blogs explaining your projects.
