Frequently Asked Questions
Student Reviews from a similar course by upGrad Education

The Executive PG Program in Data Science course from upGrad and IIIT Bangalore has been a boon for me and it has helped enhance my skills in Excel, SQL, R, etc.


It doesn't matter what your previous working background is, as everything is taught from the basics.

Group case studies really give a sense of teamwork, as it happens in regular classroom studies. It teaches us coordination and right attitude as a team player in meeting all the deadlines.


They will prepare you how to face Data Science job interviews. Along with this, upGrad will also provide mock interviews and mock mcqs tests to check your capability for the interviews.
