The M.Sc. in Applied Data Science of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) aims to prepare candidates with the expertise of handling big data set management and valuable insights' derivation. The programme specifically focuses on core competencies such as data analysis, infrastructure, and cloud computing. Skills such as data mining and data visualization will be learned so that students are prepared for the role of a data scientist, data analyst, or analytics manager.

It also allows for specializations like sports analytics, crisis informatics, and user experience design. This allows students to focus education around certain interests or passions. The informatics curriculum includes courses in relational databases, deep learning, and cloud computing. 

Most BSC Nursing colleges have standards whereby you stand an eligibility to join their Nursing college if you studied Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in your 12th standard. Mathematics is not one of the compulsory courses that any candidate needs to possess to gain admission into BSC Nursing. Though it is essential to note that it is fine for some institutions to accept students with Mathematics as an additional subject. The are normal instances where you will need to confirm with the specific admission requirements of each intuitions you are applying to. About 30 institutions demand Biology, Chemistry, and physics be offered as compulsory subjects while only 10-20 percentage would admit students with Mathematics. As many as 3000-4000 institutions in India are running BSC Nursing courses that admit 1.5-2 Lacs students every year.

The admission policy of St. Xavier's College, Mumbai for the undergraduate programmes has certain conditions. For Bachelor of Arts (BA) programme, the admission is done on the basis of HSSC or any equivalent examination conducted by any recognized Board of Examination with not less than 45 % marks in aggregate. To pursue Bachelor of Science (BSc) the candidate should have passed the HSSC examination or any other equivalent examination securing at least 55% of the total aggregate marks. For Bachelor of Commerce (BCom programme) The candidate must have passed the HSSC exam or any other examinations equivalent to it with having minimum 45% total marks and 40% marks in Mathematics. The college also affords reservation for SC/ST/OBC candidates according to the state government rules though half the percentage of students in the college are Christian minority candidates.

For admission to the BSc programme in Biology at the IISc, the candidates have to face the Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) test or the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main and Advanced. OU considers the scores of these exams for admission into its undergraduate programmes among the disciplines it offers include: KVPY exam takes place every year and hence the cutoff marks also tends to differs every year. The cutoffs for the SA stream for students studying in class 12 for the 2022 exam were 55-60 for the general category students. The statured Bangalore IISc offered a 4 year BS programme in Biology, which takes 30-40 students every year.

The concepts of Physics by HC Verma Volume 1 and 2, Physics for NEET by MTG Learning Media and Physics NCERT Textbook for class 11 and 12. For Chemistry, few books that have been recommended are Chemistry NCERT Textbook for classes 11 and 12, Physical chemistry by OP Tandon and Organic Chemistry by Himanshu Pandey. For Biology, read Biology NCERT Textbook for classes 11 and 12, Trueman's Elementary Biology by K.P Goyal, and MTG Learning Media's Biology for NEET.
