Technical Interview Questions
Review the top developer interview questions for Data Science Training asked by IT hiring managers in Pune. We practice these live during mock interview sessions.
Q1: Explain the difference between Inner Join, Left Join, and Self Join in SQL.
Answer: Inner Join returns records that have matching values in both tables. Left Join returns all records from the left table and matched records from the right table. Self Join is a join where a table is joined with itself (useful for querying hierarchical organizational schemas).
Q2: What is the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning?
Answer: Supervised learning models are trained on labeled datasets where the target variable is known (e.g. regression, classification). Unsupervised learning models analyze unlabeled datasets to find hidden patterns or groupings (e.g. clustering with K-Means).
Q3: How do you handle missing values in a Pandas DataFrame?
Answer: You can identify missing values with `.isnull()`. To handle them, you can drop records (`.dropna()`) if they are minimal, or impute them (`.fillna()`) with statistical values (mean, median, mode) or forward/backward fills depending on the context.
Q4: What is a p-value in hypothesis testing?
Answer: A p-value is the probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the observed results, assuming the null hypothesis is true. A lower p-value (typically < 0.05) indicates strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
Q5: Explain the concept of exploratory data analysis (EDA).
Answer: EDA is the process of examining a dataset to summarize its main characteristics, identify anomalies, check assumptions, and visualize variables using statistical charts and plots before formal modeling.
1-to-1 Corporate Mock Interview Loops
During the final modules of the course, we schedule dedicated screensharing mock interviews. You write code live on shared editors, explaining your runtime complexity and database designs to prepare for real technical rounds.

Student Success Stories
Real feedback from students who completed our 1-to-1 virtual Data Science Training training.
"I wanted to switch my career to Data Science but found large batch classes very overwhelming. At CACTS, the mentor adapted the schedule to my learning pace. They walked me through complex statistics and data cleaning loops on a real project environment."
Priya S.
Junior Data Scientist, Kothrud, Pune"I needed to learn Python data analysis and SQL queries for business analytics. The 1-on-1 virtual coaching was extremely practical. We worked on cleaning messy datasets using Pandas and building regression models."
Ashish N.
Business Analyst, Shivane, Pune"The best part about CACTS is that you write code from day one. There are no boring PowerPoint presentations. Learning SQL joins, subqueries, and Python visualization libraries under a mentor's guidance was very effective."
