nsut me mathematics and computing leni chahiye ya computer science hi prefer kre like my main thing is that i wanted to become a data scientist

Dear Student,

If your primary goal is to become a Data Scientist, Mathematics and Computing (MAC) at NSUT is actually a more strategic choice than pure Computer Science (CSE). Data Science is 70% Mathematics (Linear Algebra, Probability, Statistics, and Optimization). MAC covers these in-depth, whereas CSE focuses more on Hardware, Operating Systems, and Architecture.

Also, NSUT’s MAC program is specifically designed to bridge the gap between theoretical math and software application, which is exactly what a Data Scientist does. Most advanced AI/ML algorithms are pure mathematical models. Having a MAC background gives an understanding of how models work, rather than just how to code them.

If you are 100% sure about Data Science and aren't afraid of complex calculus and statistics, go for MAC. It will give you the "brain" for data modeling. However, if you want a slightly more relaxed academic life with broader software options, stick with CSE and pick up Statistics as a minor or through online certifications.
