Sample Schedule (2024)
Week 1 | June 24 - June 28 | Research students will refresh their programming skills by completing video lessons and assignments. Students will be introduced to an area of study to conduct research and collect relevant material and datasets to formulate a research question. |
Week 2 | July 1- July 5 | Students will engage in data collection and utilize Python and Pandas for cleaning the data. They will perform exploratory data analysis to identify trends, patterns, and insights within the dataset. |
Week 3 | July 8 - July 12 | Students will work on data collection and cleaning using python libraries. They will refine their dataset with basic exploratory work. |
Week 4 | July 15 - Jul 19 | Students will employ various visualization techniques for in-depth analysis and exploration of the dataset. They will draw meaningful inferences and understanding of data patterns through comprehensive exploratory analysis through visualization. |
Week 5 | July 22 - July 26 | Students will explore Machine Learning concepts, applying Decision Tree and Random Forest algorithms for predictions and mastering hyper parameter tuning to improve the performance of their machine learning models. |
Week 6 | July 29 - Aug 2 | Students will refine their work and document their findings in their report. They will create a slide deck highlighting their machine learning analysis and prepare for a live final presentation at the culmination event. |
Culmination Event | Aug 3 (Sat) | Students will present their research project to a panel of experts from universities and industry, showcasing their work and insights. |

FAQs
Selection to research program will be in two rounds. The first round of selection is based on the application details. Short-listed students are invited to attend an online interview for a second round of selection. Students selected after the interview will have a chance to register by submitting the payment.
A junior or senior high school student (incoming 11th – 12th grades) who has completed a course or camp in python programming can join this program. Excellent analytical skills and problem solving skills are required to succeed in this program.
Yes, students will benefit the most from the interactive sessions and are expected to attend the zoom sessions online. The weekday sessions will guide the students and keep them on track for the research work
No, the bootcamp and the research programs run in parallel and we expect students to focus on only one of the programs.
The first round of selection will be based on the application. Short-listed students will receive an invitation by email to attend an interview. All candidates selected in the second round after the interview should receive a link for payment no later than April 30, 2024
Based on the interview assessment and skill level, DIYA Research will determine the right fit for the research team. Students will be grouped into teams of 2-4 and led by a professional.
Yes and No. Each research group will be assigned an area of study and are expected to work in that domain. However, within that domain, students are encouraged to come up with their own research question and answer it using a data-driven approach.
Students are invited to register for the program after an assessment and an interview. This is a highly selective program with limited seats. There is no refund once the student is selected and has paid for the program.
