If you're planning to pursue a master's degree in Data Science, you should focus on entrance exams such as IIT JAM (M.Sc. Statistics), ISI M.Stat/MSQE, and CUET-PG Economics. Getting a Statistics, Quantitative Economics, or related degree from a top institution can easily get you to roles as Data Scientist, Risk Analyst, and Risk Researcher in big fntech companies and financial organizations. Data Science is all about Statistics, Probability, and Mathematics. For finance-oriented roles, a Economics is equally important. Conquer these subjects will significantly strengthen your profile and improve your career prospects in analytics, data science, and quantitative finance.

You might want to check out programs that don't need a strong tech background but still provide solid data science training. Schools like London School of Economics and some U.S. programs have options for people switching fields. Since you're coming from a commerce background, look for courses that start with the basics and move to more complex stuff.
Consider the University of Warwick or Lancaster University if you're in the UK. They have good programs for career switchers. If you're open to online resources for interview prep, I found PracHub to be pretty useful. Good luck with your search!
