I got placed at a package almost double that of my peers

The average package in my college was 3-3.5 LPA and I was really scared to see myself end up there. I kept waiting for a higher package company to come but it did not happen. That's when I reached out to upGrad Campus for job support. I took up their Data Science and Analytics program. I had already learnt Python in my college days but the way this certification broadened my horizons, it cannot be summed up in words. Being placed as a Data Engineer was a dream, and when I got placed at almost double the package to my peers in college, I knew I made the right decision. Thanks upGrad Campus for making me stand out from the crowd.

In just 15 days of graduating, I had a placement offer in hand

When I started my degree, I wanted to change fields but couldn't. I researched various courses and discovered the Data Science & Analytics Program by upGrad Campus. To make a career with Python, I needed a different type of guidance and that's where upGrad Campus shined through for me. I learnt various concepts about Data Science and got real life project exposures. Today, in less than 15 days of graduating from college, I have a placement offer in hand in the field of Data Science!

Overview

Everything You Need To Know

With the emergence of transformative digital initiatives, new roles are getting created by the day across all domains. As per Economic Times, the technology sector in India is expected to reach 245 Billion dollars, with top IT firms recruiting about 50,000 freshers for roles in both IT and non-IT segments.

According to Sekhar Garisa, CEO of foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME), there is a high demand for data engineers, UI/UX developers, SEO executives, QA analysts/testers and network engineers.

While these roles have always been in demand in the digital age, the coming year also shows promising growth in the Finance sector. In the calendar year 2024, India is projected to experience a 19% growth in overall hiring compared to the preceding year, with the manufacturing, automotive, and BFSI sectors taking the lead in recruitment.

All the above data clearly shows that there is a huge demand for skilled employees to fill positions in the fields of Data, AI, Marketing & Finance.
