hi,
see the eligibility criteria for rbi depr post is candidates need to have master degree in Economics / Econometrics / Quantitative Economics / Mathematical Economics / Integrated Economics Course/ Finance, . however in data science there is statistics and mathematics involved, but it is not equivalent with economics, so you are not eligible to apply.
however you are eligible to apply for upsc ISS post since the eligibility criteria is Bachelor's degree with Statistics or Mathematical Statistics or Applied Statistics as one of the subject. since data science has statistics you are eligible to apply.
you are also eligible to apply for ssc cgl junior statistical officer post, the eligibility criteria is Bachelor's Degree in any subject from a recognized University with at least 60% Marks in Mathematics at 12th standard level OR Bachelor's Degree in any discipline with Statistics as one of the subjects at degree level.
I am purshuing 3-2semistor and I am 20 years , can I apply for SBI PO (or) IBPS PO this year
Rama, for being eligible for SBI PO, you need to be between 21 to 30 years . There is an age relaxation for Reserved Categories. If you are 20 years, you should turn 21 at least by April 1st, 2020. If you do not turn 21 by 1st April 2020, you might not be eligible for SBI PO.
But for IBPS PO, the minimum age limit is 20 years and so you qualify for appearing for IBPS exam. Regarding you studying our Final year graduation, Graduates with a Bachelor's degree in any discipline are eligible for both SBI PO and IBPS PO. And those who are appearing for their final year exams are also eligible. But their recruitment is subjective to fulfillment of the eligibility criteria required.
In short, you have to wait for SBI PO until next year but can appear for IBPS PO this year.
