How to learn B.Sc Data Science after 12th in Delhi
B.Sc Data Science is a three-year science degree, distinct from the four-year B.Tech CSE (AI and Data Science) specialisation. B.Sc Data Science is a three-year science degree in statistics, programming and data analysis. VSET does not offer B.Sc programmes; its nearest is the four-year B.Tech CSE (AI and Data Science) specialisation, which covers the same territory inside an engineering degree. Starting from Class 12 in Delhi, the pipeline is predictable: 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, then JEE Main Paper-1, then counselling — GGSIPU counselling for IP University colleges. The real decision is choosing a college whose B.Sc Data Science coverage is genuine rather than a brochure keyword.

The degree route
No Delhi college offers a dedicated degree in B.Sc Data Science. The realistic route is a B.Tech in a related branch — at VSET that means B.Tech CSE (AI & Data Science), which builds engineering foundations that transfer toward B.Sc Data Science, though VSET does not run a dedicated B.Sc Data Science programme — combined with self-driven projects and online specialisation.
How VSET teaches B.Sc Data Science
B.Sc Data Science is a three-year science degree in statistics, programming and data analysis. VSET does not offer B.Sc programmes; its nearest is the four-year B.Tech CSE (AI and Data Science) specialisation, which covers the same territory inside an engineering degree. At VSET this maps to engineering foundations that transfer toward B.Sc Data Science, though VSET does not run a dedicated B.Sc Data Science programme.
- VSET does not offer B.Sc Data Science. All seven of its GGSIPU programmes are four-year B.Tech degrees.
- The nearest is B.Tech CSE (AI and Data Science), which combines data engineering, statistics and machine learning with the full computer science core.
- The B.Tech route adds systems, networks and software engineering depth that a three-year B.Sc typically does not include.
- Admission to the VSET programme is through 10+2 with PCM, JEE Main Paper-1 and GGSIPU counselling.
Where B.Sc Data Science skills lead
Graduates applying B.Sc Data Science skills typically target roles such as Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Data Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer. Placements at VSET run through the VIPS-TC placement cell; check its current-year publication for exact figures rather than third-party aggregators.
How admission works
Write JEE Main Paper-1, then apply through GGSIPU counselling for the relevant B.Tech programme at VSET. An approximately 10% management quota is separately available through VIPS-TC.
Frequently asked questions
Can I learn B.Sc Data Science after 12th without coding background?
Yes — B.Tech programmes assume no prior coding; years one and two build programming and mathematics foundations before B.Sc Data Science-specific work begins. What matters at entry is 10+2 PCM and a JEE Main score.
Does VSET offer B.Sc Data Science?
No. The nearest of VSET's seven programmes is the four-year B.Tech CSE (AI and Data Science).
Is the B.Tech route better for data science?
It is longer and adds computer science systems depth alongside statistics and machine learning, which broadens the roles it opens.
What entry requirements apply?
10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at a minimum 50% aggregate, then JEE Main Paper-1 and GGSIPU counselling.
What compute is available for data work?
The AICTE IDEA Lab provides GPU workstations on campus.
