Data Science roadmap: questions, data, decisions

For CSE (Data Science) students: statistics, SQL, analysis, ML and communicating results that change decisions.

4 stages · 17 steps. Open any step to see why it matters, what comes before it and where to learn it.

Years are a guide, not a deadline. Students move at different speeds and in a different order; skip what you already know and spend longer where you need to. Steps marked Optional are worth doing if they fit your goals.

  1. First year

    Spreadsheets to scripts.

  2. Second year

    SQL everywhere, inference and dashboards.

  3. Third year

    ML for prediction, internships for proof.

  4. Fourth year

    Communication compounds; convert interviews.

This is guidance written by the UniCircle team, not a rulebook, and it promises no outcome. Pair it with the live openings, the courses and interview practice, and ask seniors in your college community what actually worked for them.
