Can my undergrad curriculum land me a job in Data analytics/Finance/Banking?

This is a 3-year course, I am willing to do MSc in Mathematical finance, M.Stat (Finance specialisation) or an MBA (Finance & Banking) after completing my bachelors.

you do not need a degree to work in data analytics

a boot camp is sufficient

finance and banking, connections are the most important. Otherwise you may be a math wizard working as a quant, if that is the life you desire

Grad school is up to you, however I do not see a significant benefit in the MS ones you listed given that your undergrad is comprehensive, which it seems to be

cont

my recommendation is to do what is the most fulfilling to you, in my opinion physics is the most important subject people who can should learn about, but it is dependent on the person of course

once you have achieved mastery of the most complex subjects, which I view as quantum physics, pure math, etc, all other more vocational subjects become much easier, if not trivial to learn, but of course it is your life to live

money will come your way, no matter the subject, provided you are intelligent and make the correct choices. good luck

So should I choose physics 1 & 2, Quantum physics in the electives and optional courses?

The university brochure advises to take Microeconomics and Macroeconomics if student is targetting for Applied statistics - Finance specialisation

Pic is the first year curriculum of M.Stat degree. I will be in the B-Stream (students who did B.Stat degree)

Here is the second year curriculum of M.Stat degree, I am eyeing for the Applied statistics specialisation in Finance. The other two specialisations are probablility and Theoretical statistics.

I suggest taking physics because it allows you to understand the world in ways many people cannot, and as it gets increasingly complex it becomes more and more of an asset.

You will also begin to gain insights in other subjects with the knowledge you have on the mechanics of the universe which provide an elevated understanding and intuition which your colleagues will not match

Micro/macro economics make me chuckle for their triviality, but I would recommend learning them of course, if not to provide context for current events and issues

If it is a job you seek, I would not over do the coursework, in fact I would take the minimum classes required to meet the job requirements, and maximize the time spent on more complex subjects. Extending the time you spent in university may seem counter intuitive in this regard but worth it (for instance, taking classes at a reduced load but with more difficult subjects), you will not get a time like this again, at the same age and strength youth gives you

you so desperately want a job, I can only see this ending poorly. I do think you will end up with what you seek, but I do not think you have adequately considered your life after the fact

I have provided my answers which I believe are sufficient in their explanation and reasoning

I do want a job desperately, but I have 5 years to study without tension and ample focus, and I will be studying till postgraduate masters, it's just that I want to end up a professional and good paying job. I don't want to rush things, I do like Mathematics, Computer science and want to study comprehensively.

I am from a middle class family, so we only have enough resources, can't waste my father's money. I will be giving entrance exam and interview in few months.

you do know, that if you are in fact extremely intelligent or capable, that it no longer becomes competitive for jobs, but that the jobs become competitive for this extremely intelligent and capable individual?

Based on your post, I have reason to suspect that you may have difficulty competing with your peers, perhaps that is why the job outlook may seem concerning

in this regard, it may not matter which courses you choose, the outcome will already be predetermined, based on your aptitude, making any recommendations a waste of time

If you really want a good pay in Banking-finance industry, you need to move to some financial centre. For example Singapore, London, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, Zurich etc.

Your degree seems fine.

This is ISI Kolkata,I believe.If yes,I would advise you to prepare for CAT diligently and get into IIM A B C.Study hard there and get into MBB consultancies.You will get to work in analytics AND will easily make 3000000 INR minimum at the start.Or do MStat and join a tech company.Do not join banks.Banks in India do back office work,mostly in Risk Management.Not very good pay and hours.My point is,either work in Tech as a data scientist or get an MBA from ABC and join an MBB

Do not listen to this guy.He does not know how things work in our country.And you honestly should not be on this site to get career advice if you are a third worlder.
