This is a representative structure for a Data Science / Computer Science-leaning Online M.Sc. Universities offering Mathematics, Statistics, Biotechnology, Environmental Science or Psychology specialisations replace the technical core with subjects appropriate to that discipline — the actual subject list, credits and sequence are set by each university and change with the specialisation you choose. Check the syllabus published by the university you shortlist.
Curriculum structure by university
The core M.Sc syllabus is broadly common because UGC entitlement requires parity with the on-campus programme. What actually differs between universities is the elective load — how many specialisation subjects you get, and in which semester the track begins. Use the table to see which universities give you the widest elective choice for the same duration.

Online M.Sc FAQs
It is the Master of Science degree studied through a university's online mode, with digital classes, study material, assignments and university-specified examinations. The degree is awarded by the university itself, in disciplines such as Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics or Biotechnology.
Validity depends on the university and on the regulatory entitlement or approval that applies to that specific programme and discipline for your admission period. Verify the status for the exact university, specialisation and academic year before enrolling.
Recognition is programme-specific, not universal. Check the university's UGC entitlement status for the online mode, for the M.Sc specifically, and for your admission year — do not assume it from the university's general reputation.
Two years across four semesters in most programmes. Some universities publish a maximum permissible duration that allows completion over a longer period.
A bachelor's degree, usually a B.Sc in a related discipline, from a recognised institution. Minimum marks and any subject-background requirement are set by each university and can vary by specialisation.
Depends on the specialisation. Data Science and Computer Science variants at some universities accept BCA, B.Com or B.Tech graduates; Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry variants generally expect the equivalent subject at graduation. Confirm with the specific university.
Not sure which Online M.Sc to pick?
Compare the universities above on fee, entitlement status and specialisation, or talk to a counsellor who will walk you through the shortlist. No cost, no obligation.
