How much does the data science course in Pune cost at VCTC?
expand_moreThe total fee for VCTC's 5.5-month data science course in Pune is ₹64,000. Call +91-94227 61663 or book a demo class and our counselor will confirm the current fee for your batch in writing.

How long is the data science course and what are the class timings?
expand_moreThe course runs 5.5 months. Classes are live, and the most recent batch ran from 7:30 to 9:00 AM. Python and SQL come first, followed by statistics and machine learning, deep learning and NLP, then GenAI and deployment. Call for the current timetable, because slots change from batch to batch.
3
What does the data science syllabus cover?
expand_moreThe syllabus covers Python, NumPy, Pandas, SQL (MySQL), MongoDB, hypothesis testing, supervised and unsupervised machine learning, deep learning, NLP, transformers, LLMs and RAG, Flask and FastAPI, and deployment on AWS and Azure. It also includes an introduction to agentic AI. Download the full module-by-module syllabus from this page.
4
Do I need coding or maths knowledge to join?
expand_moreNo. The Python module starts from installation, variables and loops, so you can join with zero coding experience. You don't need a maths degree either; statistical ideas such as p-values, t-tests and ANOVA are taught as you use them in projects. What you do need is regular practice, since the course is project-heavy.
5
Can someone from a non-IT background learn data science?
expand_moreYes. Mechanical, civil, electronics, commerce, finance and healthcare professionals are among the people this course is built for, and domain knowledge is an advantage with real data. A mechanical engineer reading turbine sensor data spots problems a pure coder might miss. You start from Python basics, so your first goal is comfort with Python and SQL.
6
Can working professionals benefit from this course?
expand_moreYes. The course is built for working IT and non-IT professionals as well as freshers, and the most recent batch ran 7:30 to 9:00 AM, which leaves your working day free. Call us for current weekday or weekend slots, and ask how to fit practice time around your job.
7
What does a data science course with placement mean at VCTC?
expand_moreIt means structured placement assistance, not a guaranteed job. You get ATS-friendly resume building, LinkedIn optimisation, daily mock interviews covering technical, HR and panel rounds, one-on-one career mentorship, and interview opportunities through our hiring network until you're placed.
8
What salary can a fresher expect after a data science course in Pune?
expand_moreMost freshers start as data analysts or junior data scientists, and pay depends on your projects, SQL and Python strength, and interview performance. Typical fresher offers in Pune are ₹3.5 LPA to ₹8 LPA. Treat any single figure with caution and ask every institute for a batch-wise placement report.
9
How long does it take to get a job after the course?
expand_moreIt varies by person, so be wary of fixed promises. What shortens the search is starting early: finish a portfolio-ready project by the middle of the course, put your work on GitHub, and begin mock interviews while you're still in class. Candidates who apply consistently with a polished portfolio tend to move faster.
10
How does data science differ from data analytics?
expand_moreData analytics answers what happened and why, using SQL, Excel and dashboards. Data science goes further, building models that predict what will happen, using Python, statistics and machine learning. If you want reporting roles first, see our
Data Analytics with AI course; if you want modelling and prediction, this course fits better.
11
Which should I learn first: Python, SQL or machine learning?
expand_moreStart with Python and SQL, because almost every data interview tests them first. Machine learning builds on both: Pandas prepares the data, SQL pulls it, and scikit-learn models learn from it. The course follows that order, so by the time you reach machine learning you can already clean and query data on your own.
12
What certificate will I get?
expand_moreYou receive an ISO 9001:2015 certified course completion certificate, a verified digital version you can add to LinkedIn, and an internship experience letter. The certificate reflects project work, not attendance alone. Employers care most about what you can demonstrate, so pair it with a GitHub portfolio of your projects.
13
Can I attend the data science classes online?
expand_moreVCTC batches run live at our Katraj and Viman Nagar branches. If you can't attend in person, call +91-94227 61663 and ask which online or hybrid options are available for the upcoming batch before you decide. A free demo class also lets you check the teaching style first.
14
Which branch should I choose, Katraj or Viman Nagar?
expand_morePick the one that's easier to reach consistently. Katraj (near Bharati Vidyapeeth) suits students in Katraj, Ambegaon and Kondhwa; Viman Nagar (Wadgaon Sheri) is easier from Kharadi, Kalyani Nagar and Yerwada. Both branches run the same course, so your commute should decide.
15
Can I try a class before I enroll?
expand_moreYes. You can attend a live demo class at either branch at no cost and with no obligation. Sit in on a session, meet the trainer, and ask about fees, batch timings and placement support. Book through the form on this page or call +91-94227 61663.
16
Can I join Data Science if I'm based in Hinjewadi, Kharadi, Baner, or Wakad?
expand_moreYes. While our branches are in Katraj and Viman Nagar, students commute from across Pune — including Hinjewadi, Kharadi, Baner, Wakad, and Kothrud — for weekday and weekend batches of Data Science. Live online batches are also available if commuting isn't convenient.
