Top Emerging Courses For Science Students In 2025
From Artificial Intelligence to Quantum Computing, here are some of the most promising and exciting courses science students can consider in 2025:
1. AI and Data Science
AI focuses on creating intelligence machines that can mimic human cognitive functions and Data Science involves extracting meaningful insights from a vast variety of data using techniques, such as Statistics, Mathematics and Computer Science. The AI uses the knowledge extracted from the vast data to build its intelligence system. These two fields have grown a lot in the recent years and tech giants like X.com and Nvidia have consistently contributed, invested for the growth of AI.
Recently, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang partnered with Mukesh Ambani to build artificial intelligence infrastructure and spur the technology's adoption in the world's most populous country.
"India produced and exported software," Huang said. "In the future, India will export AI."
2. Healthcare
A shortage of 10 million workers by 2030 is projected within the healthcare sector, as per the Deloitte US Center for Health Solutions' interview with 121 C-suite executives from various countries. The healthcare sector is a major field and various courses for science students are available to pursue including BSc medical laboratory technology, BSc in Anaesthesia technology, BSc in cardiac care technology, BSc in operation theatre technology, dialysis technician.
3. Quantum Computing
Quantum Computing is an emerging field that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations and solve problems that are beyond the capabilities of classical computers. Google's Supercomputer, Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today's fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (that is, 1025) years - a number that vastly exceeds the age of the Universe. This field is expected to grow because of its importance in technology advancement.
4. Finance
No matter how much the world changes, people will always need to manage money. As more startups launch and businesses grow, finance experts are in high demand. Courses in financial management, investment banking, fintech, or business analytics are becoming increasingly popular among science students who enjoy numbers and strategy. Students can consider:
B.Sc. Data Science & AI (with Finance electives)
B.Sc. computational statistics/mathematics
B.Sc. financial technology (FinTech)
B.Tech computer science + AI/ML minor
B.Sc. economics + data analytics.
4. Cross-sector emerging fields:

Advanced Transport Mgmt System to start on 3 h'ways
Pune: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will soon introduce the Advanced Transport Management System (ATMS) on three national highways that connect to the city, senior officials told TOI on Friday. These three routes include the Pune-Solapur Highway, Pune-Nashik Highway, and Pune-Satara Highway. The ATMS is a set of technologies and software used to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability of transport networks. It integrates various systems like traffic sensors, cameras, and communication for real-time traffic information. "A proposal pertaining to this has been sent to the Union ministry of road transport and highways, and we expect approval soon. With this system being introduced, we aim to check for different traffic violations and the exact causes of congestion on these highways," a senior NHAI official in Pune told TOI.

"These cameras will have a range of 500m on all sides. In addition, modern cameras will be placed every 500m at gantries of the road. These AI-enabled cameras will be able to spot any violations and read the registration number of the vehicles involved, following which an e-challan will be generated automatically without any manual intervention," the official added. While the Pune-Nashik Highway is approximately 213km long, Pune-Satara Highway is around 141km long; the Pune-Solapur Highway is 246km in length. Another NHAI official said the new system is similar to the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway by Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Limited (MSRDC).

Sebi warning: After action against Jane Street, chairman says 'market manipulation won't be tolerated'
SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey Capital markets regulator Sebi stepped up surveillance for the stock market and warned that any kind of manipulation will not be tolerated. Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey made this clear on Saturday, a day after the regulator passed an interim order against US-based hedge fund Jane Street Group. Pandey said monitoring has been tightened both by Sebi and at the stock exchange level. When asked if similar behaviour had been seen with other foreign investors, he responded, "All what I can say that market manipulation is not going to be tolerated". Earlier, on Friday, the regulator barred Jane Street Group from participating in the Indian securities market and ordered it to return illegal gains worth Rs 4,843 crore. The group has been accused of manipulating stock indices through positions in the derivatives market. This may be the highest ever disgorgement ordered by Sebi. In its interim order, Sebi prohibited four entities: JSI Investments, JSI2 Investments Pvt Ltd, Jane Street Singapore Pte Ltd, and Jane Street Asia Trading, from trading until further notice, while investigations continue. Later in the day, at an event hosted by the Bombay Chartered Accountants Society, Pandey also stressed the importance of transparency and ethics in corporate governance. He told chartered accountants that disclosing related party transactions, managing conflicts of interest, and reporting key developments on time were "non-negotiable responsibilities". "You have a critical responsibility to ensure that corporate governance is not reduced to a checklist," he said, addressing the CAs. Pandey also said that excessive compliance requirements can become burdensome and may not always serve their intended purpose. "We are also mindful that too much of information, too much of compliance adds to a big compliance burden which may not actually serve the interest that we really intend to serve," he said. 'We would also like to see wherever we have the possibility of doing better results with less compliance, less information, less onerous responsibility and less micromanagement on the part of regulator,' he added, inviting suggestions for improvement.
