Yes, pursuing a US CPA licensure and a certification in Data Science and ML could be a very good option for you

The combination of US CPA (accounting, finance) and Data Science/ML is unique and valuable. Businesses increasingly need professionals who understand both financial data and how to analyze it using advanced techniques.
This combination can open doors to exciting career opportunities in areas like financial data analysis, risk management, fraud detection, and financial modeling with a data-driven approach. Your back-office operations experience can provide valuable context for applying data analysis to real-world business problems.

Both US CPA licensure and Data Science/ML certification require significant dedication. Research the time commitment for each and plan accordingly. There will be costs associated with exams, study materials, and potentially data science/ML bootcamps. Budget accordingly. There are various data science/ML certifications available. Explore options that align with your career goals (e.g., Python for Data Science, Google Cloud Professional Data Scientist).

I hope it helps!

Yes, both your Diploma in Engineering (regular) and IGNOU graduation (distance) will likely be valid. Here's why:

• Distance Education Regulations: The UGC permits pursuing a graduation program through distance education (like IGNOU) while enrolled in a regular diploma program.

• No Time Overlap: Since your diploma is regular mode and IGNOU is distance mode, there's no clash in attending classes, making it manageable.

However, a couple of points to consider:

• University/Institute Rules: Double-check if your diploma program's university or institute has any specific regulations regarding pursuing another program simultaneously.

• Time Management: Balancing a regular diploma and a distance graduation program requires good time management skills.

If you're unsure about your diploma program's rules, it's best to contact their administration for clarification.  Overall, both degrees should be valid as long as they are from recognized institutions.

hope this helps you!!

Hello Aspirant

Yes, both of your degrees are valid as long as you are doing your Diploma in Engineering from a UGC-recognized college. The New Education Policy has enabled students to pursue two different degrees from two different institutions at the same time but one has to be regular and one has to be from Distance Education. If you are doing the same degree twice, it's called Dual Bachelor's or Dual Master's. So, in conclusion, yes both your degree will be valid as long as you pass both the courses.

Hope this helps
