Frequently Asked Questions

Student Reviews from a similar course by upGrad Education

Saurav Kant Kumar

Tech Mahindra

After just 6 months of starting my AI and ML journey, I have been rewarded with a Data Scientist position in Tech Mahindra with a very hefty package and this is just after going halfway through the program. I can put my money on this program on any given day and assure everyone that this is one program that stands apart from every other in the market. The program pedagogy is impeccable but what I liked the most is the constant motivation from my student mentor which kept me going in the program.

According to me this particular program is pretty useful and adds value because of its structured approach, strict schedule, deadlines and the discipline in learning that the overall process brings along. The whole idea that you will spend almost a year learning about ML/AI in a structured and organized manner is the biggest USP of this program and what makes it different from other short term courses.

LI__1652848329982
Shashank Sane
Shashank Sane

Overall it is a very well rounded program (and only one of the few) and while the topics are being covered in sufficient depth, it would not be useful to compare this with MOOC’s or any other specialised programs covering only one of the topics. The primary importance of this program lies in the structured approach and well-rounded coverage (with the industry insights that it offers).

This program sets very high standards in the field of ML and AI. Before joining this program I searched about many other programs but none of them is at par to this program. Yes it’s true that nothing is perfect in this world, but whenever they commit mistakes they are very fast to respond and do not hesitate to accept and rectify that. I am completely satisfied with what they have given me, your money will not get wasted and you will get opportunity to expose yourself to the field of ML and AI.
