I am a student of MSc Data Science first year. I have had an amazing time in CHRIST, Lavasa. The people here are very welcoming and motivating. The institution provides a lot of resources through which you can upgrade yourself. With regular workshops, we stay informed about the current developments in our field of study. Data Science is an emerging field and with so many resources available online, it becomes confusing to understand which area to focus on to what extent. Our teachers help us with that and help us in learning something new. They are really supportive.We have so many different extra-curricular activities going on continuously and one will find it enriching to participate and explore themselves in those events. The non-teaching staff here is very cooperative. This place has taught me to be more disciplined and focused
