IS ONLINE DATA SCIENCE COURSE FROM UPGRAD REALLY WORTH IT?

I’ve looked into upGrad’s online Data Science course and it seems to offer a structured learning path with industry projects and mentorship. Whether it’s “worth it” depends on what you’re looking for if you want a recognised program with guidance and a clear roadmap, upGrad does provide that.

When I was deciding on a course myself, I ended up choosing the Advanced Data Analytics program at IIM SKILLS. What helped me was their mix of live sessions with one-on-one mentorship, and the fact that if you miss a class, recordings are uploaded to the LMS. They also give lifetime access to the material and a lot of practical exposure to apply what you’re learning. That flexibility worked well for my busy schedule.

So from my experience, online courses like upGrad’s can be valuable, but it’s important to compare features — live interaction, mentorship, project work, and post-course support — and pick the one that best fits your learning style and goals.

Dear Aspirant,

For you to find out if a course is really worth the money of not, you need to get in touch with the alumni of the course & colleges affiliated to them. If their reviews are genuine & they got good placements after attending the course, it is worth your time & money. But if the course doesn't have alumnus from distinct companies & less interaction by students, it's always better to stay far from that course. Interact with people who have taken the course & get real time feedback from them.

Thanks.
