The Executive PG Programme in Data Science is an engaging yet rigorous -- month online program designed specifically for working professionals to develop practical knowledge and skills, establish a professional network, and accelerate entry into data science careers. The certification is awarded by IIIT Bangalore.
Expect to carry out several industry-relevant projects simulated as per the actual workplace, making you a skilled data science professional at par with leading industry standards.
The programme is NOT going to be easy. It will be requiring at least 12-15 hours of time commitment per week, applying new concepts and executing industry relevant projects.
The programme is designed for working professionals looking for a transition or growth into the data domain. Considering the requirements of different data roles in the industry, the curriculum is divided into six tracks. The course will have a common curriculum running for approximately for the first 5-6 months that everyone will go through after which they have to do any of the 6 specialization and a capstone project, in the remaining 6-7 months. The topics that are going to be covered as a part of the common curriculum and each of the six specializations are as follows:
Common Curriculum: Basics of SQL, Python, Statistics and EDA, Basic Machine Learning Models
Deep Learning Specialization: Advanced Machine Learning, Neural Networks
Business Intelligence: Advanced SQL and NoSQL Databases, Storytelling with Advanced Visualization
Data Engineering: Data Modelling and Data Warehousing, Building Data Pipelines, Data Streaming and Processing
The content will be a mix of interactive lectures from industry leaders as well as world-renowned faculty. Additionally, the program comprises live lectures or hangout sessions dedicated to solving your academic queries and reinforcing learning.
Post successful completion of the program, a certificate in Executive PG Program in Data Science would be granted from IIIT Bangalore.
The programme has ~23 weeks of common curriculum and ~29 weeks of the specialization and capstone project. Once you’re through the 23 weeks of curriculum common to all the three tracks, you will be prompted to choose your specialization.
When you’re nearing the end of your common curriculum, upGrad will provide you with a recommendation best suited for you based on your background. The following mapping should give you an idea about the specialization best suited for you although the final upGrad recommendation would come from a much more exhaustive rule engine.
- Deep Learning: Engineers, Software and IT Professionals
- Business Intelligence/ Data Analytics: Engineers, Marketing and Sales Professionals, Freshers
- Data Engineering: Software and IT Professionals
No. You can choose whatever specialization you like once you are through the common curriculum. However, we would urge you to take up the recommendation provided by us as this based on a sophisticated rule engine and is meant to give you the best outcome for your background which will, in turn, make it easier for you to switch to a data role.
At least 12-15 hours per week of time commitment is expected to be able to graduate from the program.
Each of the six specializations will have a common ~23-week curriculum in which the time commitment will be exactly the same.
When you move onto a specialization, it might be that some weeks are heavier in a particular track but lighter for the others. But, overall the total time commitment required will be 12-15 hours/week on average.
Each specialization is designed to give you the best outcome based on your background and help you industry experts in the data domain. The services and support for all the tracks will remain the same. Every student will have live sessions, industry mentorship and preparatory support according to the requirements in their specialization track.
