You must be confused about how to start your career journey in the field of Data Science. A solid Data Science roadmap for beginners like you is here:

• Begin with the foundational skills in programming, statistics, mathematics and data manipulation. It is highly desirable to master these foundational skills first to move towards the specialised areas.
• Learn about the core concepts like machine learning, data visualization, deep learning, prompting etc.
• After the theoretical learning, you should then move to the practical side of project work and internships. Take up projects as a freelancer maybe, put your work on platforms like LinkedIn and prepare a strong portfolio.
• Start making professional connections and stay updated about all the new developments in the field.

Of course yes. Data Science freshers can surely land good job opportunities without any work experience. Since the competition is high in the market for this field, you need to work on your skills in programming, machine learning, and statistics and prepare a solid portfolio to showcase your value-add including all the internships, certificate courses, or project work you've been a part of in college.

Take up internships and focus on networking and building more connections through social media and offline events. Check companies that actively hire freshers and keep a tab on job portals like Naukri, iimjobs.com, and platforms like LinkedIn.
