Should you pick M.Sc Data Science at Alliance University?

This course suits students who like statistics and coding and want a data job in Bangalore.

Pick it if:
You want to work in Bangalore: Amazon, Accenture, Deloitte and IBM all hire from this campus, and the city holds most of India's data teams.
You want to choose your side of data science: year two splits into an AI and deep learning track and a data engineering track.
You want proof of skill beyond the degree: the course carries IBM data science certificates and ends in a capstone project and an internship.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You want a science or engineering name on your degree: Alliance is ranked by NIRF for management and law, so the pull on campus comes from the business school.
You are counting on the headline package: the highest offer Alliance prints is a university-wide number and no figure for this M.Sc is published.
You need a cheap room: the hostel fee with meals is close to the tuition fee itself, and AC rooms cost more again.
You want two waivers together: Alliance gives one waiver per student, so the category waiver and the Karnataka one do not add up.
Counsellor's advice
If you want a data job in Bangalore, apply early: the waivers are given first come, first served. If you want a science-ranked name on your degree, look at those colleges first.

In short
Christ University charges INR 88,000 more and its average pay across the university is lower. If you want the Central Campus and a bigger PG batch, pay the extra; if not, this seat costs less and pays more.
In short
Jain publishes a placement number for this course, which Alliance does not. If you want a figure you can check before you join, Jain has one; on fees and average pay Alliance is ahead.
In short
REVA University is the costliest seat here and its second year can move to a partner campus abroad. If that transfer is what you want, pay the extra; if not, Alliance costs less and pays more.
In short
Dayananda Sagar University is INR 96,000 cheaper but its average pay across the university is much lower. If the fee is what decides it, take that seat; if the pay matters more, stay with Alliance.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
