Data Science vs Machine Learning
The published figures from each course's own page, side by side — duration, fees, tools, careers and starting pay — so you can compare without opening two tabs.
| Data Science | Machine Learning | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | the full pipeline from raw data to a decision a business will actually act on | the statistical core of AI, training models that learn patterns from real data |
| Duration | 3 – 6 Months | 3 – 6 Months |
| Fees | Ask a counsellor for the current fee | Ask a counsellor for the current fee |
| Fresher salary (Punjab) | ₹20,000 – ₹38,000 / month | ₹22,000 – ₹38,000 / month |
| Mode | Classroom, Weekend & 1-on-1 | Classroom, Weekend & 1-on-1 |
Both publish a similar fresher band — the deciding factor here is which one you'd actually stay motivated to finish, not the pay.
Every mid-size company in Punjab now sits on data it cannot read, which is exactly the gap this fills.
