Fees for the Fourth semester will be 10K that includes the Departmental support in mentoring and processing fees that may require to publish student's work and file patents etc. (Tentatively the fees per semester would come up to 25K per semester that is at par with the present fees of CS and IT Programmes. The per Course fee structure has been recommended because the nature of the Programme is that there would be people interested in attending a few Courses of the whole Programme in order to seek micro-degrees that would uplift their career profiles. We need not evolve a separate fee structure for them.

Highlights of the Syllabus: Tentatively 75% content is focused to the core data science and 25% is from the interdisciplinary fields of its applications. Theory and practice have been given equal weights. The scope of the Research Methodology Course involves mentoring students for a research and an industrial project start from problem formulation phase to publishing the research and securing its IPR. A student alone or in a group is expected to publish his / her work carried out during this Programme, in a good impact factor journal or file a patent or make its outcome available under Open Source licenses etc. The syllabus emphasizes the project based learning. Besides the senior academics, the Syllabus committee has members from the Industry and experienced people from the professional bodies like ACM and IEEE. Along with the UGC guidelines, the content and its distribution possibilities recommended by the ACM, IEEE and alike are considered while designing the curriculum. National and international level content dissemination and evaluation models that are successful in offering a similar Programme have been studied while designing the proposed scheme.

University department of Computer Science (UDCS), University of Mumbai(UoM), shall be responsible for execution the Programme and evaluation of the students admitted to it. UDCS shall interface with the Examination Section of UoM for further proceedings towards the award of degrees to the qualifying candidates. UDCS will see to that the Structure and Evaluation model of the Programme shall be compatible with the UGC guidelines that have been adopted by UoM from-time-to-time.
