    You may not believe but I have never done coding in my life. I did it during this program and was thrilled to see the outcomes coming out of those codes. Just the way. I used to get happy after solving a good (tough) math problems during my school age. Thanks to upGrad for doing a great service to people like us who at the age of 43 can dream to study with budding talents around.

    Learning with IIITB and upGrad has been an experience like no other. Being an online program, you have your worries about how the program and teaching methods will be. My favourite part about the learning experience has been programming through well designed and thoughtful content shared by IIITB professors and industry experts on upGrad platforms. Kudos to upGrad.

    The concepts of R programming and Machine Learning will be taught by Prof. Chandrasekhar Ramanathan and Prof. G Srinivasaraghavan respectively. Both of them have been listed in top twenty prominent data science academicians list published by Analytics India Magazine. So you need not worry about quality of teaching in this program.

    I appreciate the platform upGrad how they have arranged the modules and the assignments are quality ones. You will relish your college days again as the exams are felt like semester ones, you can’t talk to anybody . Modules are locked till you complete the previous one so it feels like clearing a semester and going to the next one.

    A dedicated regimen for studying the program and keep learning is the key to be successful and pass the program. This program will help build a strong foundation for successful transition to data science. Additionally, participating in hackathons and Kaggle competitions to solve real world problems will definitely give you an edge and land a job if one is willing to work hard.

    A very well-structured and well-balanced program content which you won’t get in other programs/nano-degrees. Being a beginner in DS, I found the structure of Executive PG Programme from IIITB and upGrad most helpful. They even teach you most of the prerequisites with prep sessions before you even start the course. Being a working professional, it was neither too difficult nor too easy to keep up with the pace of the course.
