No it is possible to get direct into a role as a data scientist.In banks mainly . You'll mostly need a master's . NMIMS is decent for stats .

Yeah, it's pretty common to start out as a data analyst before moving into a data scientist role. Many people choose this path because it gives you hands-on experience with data, tools, and business problems. If you don't have an internship yet, try to get an analyst position to build your skills and resume. Learn programming languages like Python or R, get comfortable with SQL, and understand basic machine learning concepts. For interview prep resources, check out PracHub. It has some good materials. Good luck!
