TESTIMONIALS

Tuhin Pal, Experience: 5 Years

“The learning platform is user-friendly with quality modules
and assignments. You will relish your college days again as
the exams felt like semester ones. Modules are locked till you
complete the previous one so until you clear a semester, you
can’t move to the next one.”

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 program
powered by upGrad most helpful. They even teach you most
of the prerequisites with prep sessions before you even start
the program. Being a working professional, it was neither
too difficult nor too easy to keep up with the pace of the
program.”

Savita Upadhaya, Experience: 4 Years

“It has been an amazing journey with upGrad till now. Starting
with their program material to live sessions to mentor support
helps one to always be on track and progress efficiently with
Data Science program. My sincere thanks to the entire team
of upGrad for showing me the path and direction towards my
dream to become a Data Analyst.”

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 prominent data science academi-
cians list published by Analytics India Magazine. So you
need not worry about the quality of teaching in this pro-
gram.”
