Hear from
Our Learners
Kunwar Alok, Experience: 15+ Years
“You may not believe it, but I had never done coding in my life. I did it during this
course and was thrilled to see the outcomes of those codes. Just the way I used to
get happy after solving good (tough) maths problem during my school years. Thanks
to upGrad for providing a great service to people like us who at the age of 43 can
dream of study with budding talents around.”
Sachin Aggarwal, Experience: 18+ Years

“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.”
Sidharth Mahapatra, Experience: 3 Years

“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 the top twenty most prominent Data Science academics
published by Analytics India Magazine. So you need not worry about the quality of
teaching in this program.”
Harkirat Dhillon, Experience: 8 Years
“A dedicated studying regime is the key to be successful and pass the program.
This program will help build a strong foundation for a successful transition into 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.”
Shravani Shahapure, Experience: 16 Years

“For someone who really wants to pursue a career in the field of Data Science, it
is worth opting for the complete course by IIITB and upGrad. IIITB and upGrad’s
online program on Data Science gives many opportunities and develops students
for their future as they provide the best professors, thought-provoking assignments
and case studies.”
Sagar Tekwani, Experience: 2 Years

“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 the
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.”
