Praxis Business School Foundation, India (Praxis) and The Polytechnic College, Suriname (PTC) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) on 23rd August to collaborate academically. The terms of the MoA are to design and deliver the 2-year fully online Master ICT program in Data Science.
As India’s No.1 Post Graduate Data Science Program (Analytics India Magazine Survey, 2021) and the only Indian institute to place 29 + batches of Data Science students, Praxis Business School believes that the leader for a digital tomorrow needs to understand data, be a critical thinker, a capable learner, ethical, effective communicator and understands data and technology.
This is Praxis’s first global foray and will work closely with PTC to ensure the success of the Data Science program in Suriname as well.
