      If a person like me, who has absolutely no relation with the IT industry, can make a career transition, nothing should hold you back. If you really are interested in this course, you must check out upGrad’s course.

      3 Years Experience Software Engineer, Newgen Software
      The distinguishing feature about the upGrad portal is that we can see our gradual progress regularly. Additionally, there is a discussion portal where all peers interact with each other and clear their doubts, which is monitored by teaching assistants from reputed institutes.

      Intimidating, satisfying, demanding, grueling, arduous, rewarding, gratifying and many more adjectives, all that make the farrago of experiences this journey is.
      Raviteja Ganti
      1 Years Experience Software Engineer, Microsoft
      The best thing that I loved about this program is the fact that each student has a dedicated mentor who tracks our progress and also helps out if we are facing any issues. upGrad takes any feedback very seriously and resolves it promptly.
