Electrical Engineering

Yes, you are eligible if you have lots of programming knowledge. Data scientists are a new breed of analytical data expert who has the technical skills to solve complex problems and the curiosity to explore what problems need to be solved. They are part mathematician, part computer scientist and part trend-spotter. And, because they straddle both the business and IT worlds, there highly sought-after and well-paid. Who wouldn't want to be one? There is also a sign of the times. Data scientists weren't on many radars a decade ago, but their sudden popularity reflects how businesses now think about big data. That unwieldy mass of unstructured information can no longer be ignored and forgotten. It's a virtual gold mine that helps boost revenue as long as there's someone who digs in and unearths business insights that no one thought to look for before. Enter the data scientist. Where did they come from? Many data scientists began their careers as statisticians or data analysts. But as big data (and big data storage and processing technologies such as Hadoop) began to grow and evolve, those roles evolved as well. Data is no longer just an afterthought for IT to handle. It's the key information that requires analysis, creative curiosity and a knack for translating high-tech ideas into new ways to turn a profit. The data scientist role also has academic origins. A few years ago, universities began to recognize that employers wanted people who were programmers and team players. Professors tweaked their classes to accommodate this and some programs, such as the Institute for Advanced Analytics at North Carolina State University, prepared to churn out the next generation of data scientists. There are now more than 60 similar programs in universities around the country.

Broadcast communications.
Minimum eligibility for admission to the course is the successful completion of class X, or equivalent level of education with a minimum aggregate score of 40% with Science and Mathematics, and English as 3 of the main subjects. The course can also be pursued after successful completion of the 10+2 level of education in the Science stream from a recognized educational Board. I think, you may find lower fee colleges on your local area which may offer full course fees below INR 10000. Best wishes for your future.

It purely depends on what specialisation you are interested in and what are your parameters for evaluating a place of study. You would consider following facts before entering a college:
A) Faculty
B) Infrastructure
C) Placements
D) Practical exposure
E) Credibility
Nirma and UPES both qualify all these parameters. Now, the only differentiate here would be the specialisation that both these colleges offer. If you have appeared for UPES-EAT and have been invited for Counselling then you must attend the counselling to know in details about each of the specializations offered here as there would be very limited information available through word of mouth on these topics. Good luck.
