I express my sincere gratitude to Skill Darpan for giving
me the opportunity to participate in this data science
internship. The structured learning, hands-on projects, and
expert mentorship played a crucial role in enhancing my
technical abilities and industry readiness.
I thank my mentor for their constant support and
feedback, which guided me through every challenge. I also
extend my heartfelt thanks to my department and faculty
coordinator at [Your College Name] for encouraging me to
pursue this skill- enhancing program.
Abstract
This internship report documents the learnings and
experience gained over a 4-week period during my Data
Science internship at Skill Darpan. The training was
focused on building a strong foundation in data science
tools and concepts using Python.
The internship was divided into four weekly modules
covering Python for data handling, data preprocessing and
visualization, exploratory data analysis (EDA), and basic
machine learning concepts. The program emphasized
practical tasks, coding assignments, and a mini project in
the final week using real-world datasets.

Introduction
Data Science is a multidisciplinary field that uses
statistical techniques, computer science, and domain
expertise to extract actionable insights from data. It is one
of the most in- demand skill sets in the tech industry.
This internship was designed to introduce students to core
data science tools and workflows. The objective was to
enable us to load, clean, manipulate, analyze, and
visualize data, and apply basic predictive models using
machine learning techniques — all within Python
programming.
Tools and Technologies Used
Programming Language: Python
3.10 Libraries and Packages:
NumPy (Numerical Computing)
Pandas (DataFrames & Data
Handling) Matplotlib, Seaborn
(Visualization)
Scikit-learn (Machine Learning)
Environment: Jupyter Notebook, Google Colab
Data Sources: CSV files, Open Datasets from
Kaggle Version Control: Git & GitHub for code
sharing
These tools are widely used in the industry and provided a
practical environment for experimentation and learning.
Week 1: Py thon Basics for Data Science
Installation of Python and Jupyter Notebook
Python syntax, variables, data types, and
operators Control structures: if-else, loops, and
functions
Data structures: lists, tuples, dictionaries
Importing libraries and understanding
modules Basic file handling and reading CSVs
Mini Task:
Wrote Python scripts to read and clean simple CSV files,
compute averages, and store results using functions.
Week 2: Data Handling & Visualization
Introduction to NumPy arrays and vector
operations DataFrames and Series in Pandas
Data importing, slicing, and filtering
Handling missing values, data cleaning
techniques Basic plotting with Matplotlib
Advanced visualizations with Seaborn (bar, pie, hist,
heatmaps)
Mini Task:
Used the Titanic dataset to clean data and create bar
plots, count plots, and correlation heatmaps using Pandas
and Seaborn.
Week 3: Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
Descriptive statistics: mean, median, mode,
std GroupBy operations and aggregation
Feature engineering (categorical encoding,
binning) Detecting outliers and skewness
Visual analysis of distribution and
relationships Preparing data for machine
learning
Mini Task:
Performed EDA on a real-world retail dataset to discover
sales trends, top-selling products, and region-wise analysis.
Week 4: Introduction to Machine Learning
Introduction to supervised learning
Understanding features, labels, and splitting
data Linear Regression using Scikit-learn
Classification with K-Nearest Neighbors
Model evaluation using accuracy, confusion
matrix Overfitting and underfitting basics
Final Project:
Built a model to predict student performance using
demographic and academic data. Cleaned and split data,
trained models, and evaluated accuracy.
Challenges Faced
Challenges Faced:
Learning NumPy array slicing and
broadcasting Handling missing or corrupted
data in large files Plot customizations in
Matplotlib
Understanding the logic behind ML algorithms
Choosing the right model and avoiding overfitting
Solutions:
Revisited documentation and video
tutorials Discussed doubts with mentors
and peers
Used visual tools (heatmaps, pair plots) for
pattern recognition
Experimented with different model parameters
and datasets
Key Learnings
Strong understanding of Python for data
analysis Practical experience with data
wrangling and
transformation
Visualizing complex data effectively
Introduction to ML model building and evaluation
Gained confidence in handling real datasets
independently These skills lay the foundation for
pursuing further courses
in deep learning, AI, and data analytics careers.
Conclusion
The 4-week internship at Skill Darpan was a valuable and
career-shaping experience. It gave me the skills to analyze
data, extract insights, and build simple models to make
predictions.
The structured curriculum, combined with real-world
datasets and mentor support, helped transform theoretical
concepts into practical applications.
I am confident this experience will help me in future academic
projects, Kaggle competitions, and interviews for data roles.
