Data Science internships for B.Tech students in Delhi

Data Science internships go to students who can show working code, not just a transcript. For B.Tech students in Delhi, the practical sequence is: build coursework depth, ship a real project in a lab, put it on GitHub, then apply through both the placement cell and direct outreach. At Vivekananda School of Engineering & Technology (VSET) at VIPS-TC Pitampura, the coursework side is a dedicated B.Tech track — B.Tech CSE (AI & DS), with project work running through the AICTE IDEA Lab.

What students actually build

  • Capstone work at VSET includes data and analytics projects alongside RAG systems built over VIPS-TC corpora.
  • Students take data-driven project ideas into hackathons including the Smart India Hackathon.

How VSET teaches Data Science

Data science is the practice of turning raw data into decisions using statistics, programming and machine learning. It spans collecting and cleaning data, exploring it, modelling it, and communicating what the results mean. At VSET this maps to a dedicated B.Tech track — B.Tech CSE (AI & DS).

  • VSET runs a dedicated B.Tech in CSE (Artificial Intelligence & Data Science) affiliated to GGSIPU, so data science is a full four-year degree track rather than a single elective.
  • The AI & DS track is oriented towards data pipelines, ETL, analytics and applied statistics, while the separate AI & ML track leans towards model training, LLMs and agents.
  • Students who want deeper statistical and algorithmic foundations can look at the CSE (Applied Mathematics) programme, which VSET also offers under GGSIPU.
  • VSET offers seven GGSIPU-affiliated B.Tech programmes in total, so students choose the data track deliberately at admission rather than drifting into it.

How students find them

Two channels, used together: the VIPS-TC placement cell, which coordinates campus internship drives, and direct outreach — applying to startups and labs with a specific project to point at. Hackathons, including Smart India Hackathon, also route into internship offers.

Where Data Science skills lead

Graduates applying Data Science skills typically target roles such as Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Machine Learning Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Research Associate. Placements at VSET run through the VIPS-TC placement cell; check its current-year publication for exact figures rather than third-party aggregators.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start applying for Data Science internships?

Most students target the summer after second or third year. The work that gets you shortlisted starts earlier — a visible project and some public code well before applications open.

What do Data Science internship recruiters actually look at?

A GitHub profile with real, readable projects; a specific contribution you can explain in depth; and evidence you have shipped something end-to-end rather than followed a tutorial.

Does VSET offer a data science degree?

Yes. VSET offers a B.Tech in CSE (Artificial Intelligence & Data Science), affiliated to GGSIPU, as one of its seven B.Tech programmes.

How is AI & DS different from AI & ML at VSET?

AI & DS leans towards data pipelines, ETL, analytics and applied statistics. AI & ML leans towards model training, LLMs and agent systems.

How do I get admission to the data science track?

Through JEE Main Paper-1 followed by GGSIPU counselling. Roughly 10% of seats are filled through the VIPS-TC management quota.
