Handle Devanagari digits and Hindi text in pandas without losing rows
Hindi-language forms and district-level registers mix Devanagari digits (०–९) with ASCII digits, and pd.to_numeric turns every Devanagari number into NaN. Translate the ten digits to 0–9 with str.maketrans, strip ₹ and…
A DU student's two-year plan into data analytics
If you are a Delhi University student in any stream and want a data analyst role after graduating, spend your last four semesters building three things in order: spreadsheet and SQL fluency, one domain you understand…
Delhi's daily peak load by discom from SLDC's five-minute data
When does Delhi's electricity demand peak, how high does it go, and how is the load split among the city's distribution companies? The Delhi State Load Despatch Centre (SLDC) publishes a five-minute load table for each…
Computing AQI from pollutant data: an NCR portfolio project
India's National Air Quality Index converts each pollutant's concentration into a sub-index using fixed breakpoints published by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). It then reports the worst sub-index as the…
Delhi Metro as a network graph, built from the DMRC GTFS feed
Which Delhi Metro stations hold the network together, and how much longer do journeys get when one of them closes? A timetable feed can answer this once you convert it into a graph: stations are nodes, and consecutive…
A day-ahead Delhi load forecast baseline from SLDC data
Before anyone trains a gradient-boosted model or a neural network on electricity demand, someone should answer a plainer question. How accurate is "tomorrow looks like today" or "tomorrow looks like the same day last…
Is Delhi's inflation different? A CPI project with MoSPI data
MoSPI publishes the Consumer Price Index by state, sector and item group, so you can test a question people in NCR often argue about: does Delhi's inflation run hotter or cooler than India's, and which kinds of spending…
Audit Delhi's bus GTFS timetable before you trust its times
The documentation for Delhi's open bus feed makes an unusual admission. Arrival and departure times in stop_times.txt are "a rough estimate generated by assuming a constant speed of travel". This project audits the feed…
A Delhi bus open-data project for your analytics portfolio
Delhi publishes its bus network as open data on the Open Transit Data platform (otd.delhi.gov.in), in the GTFS format used by transit agencies worldwide. This makes a strong local portfolio project: you join a few…
A decade of Delhi budgets: estimates vs actuals from PRS analyses
Delhi's government presents a Budget Estimate each March, revises it a year later and reports actuals a year after that. So each fiscal year has three figures, and each published document mixes all three. This project…
Defence veteran to FDE: field discipline meets software delivery
Forward deployed engineering is open to a defence veteran who is prepared to learn software fundamentals from the ground up, because the parts of FDE work that are hardest to teach — operating under uncertainty at a…
Deep learning interview questions with short derivations
Deep learning interview questions for data science roles focus on why training works or fails: how backpropagation applies the chain rule, why the sigmoid-plus-cross-entropy gradient is so simple, why deep networks see…
