The tutorial covers all the fundamental modules that are crucial to learning Data Science. Intellipaat also has a blog on the 25 Best Online Resources To Learn Data Science for free. Do check it out in your free time.

Please bear in mind that you are only as good a Data Scientist as the number of projects you have handled and worked on. It is crucial for all Data Science aspirants to work on as many projects as they can so that they can have hands-on experience in the field. This is the only way that you can showcase your experience and skills in your portfolio.  

Now, as much as self-studying can be very helpful, it is not sufficient. At one point, it is wise to train under someone knowledgeable and experienced in the field. This way you are less likely to miss out on crucial topics and receive expert advice whenever you are in need.
