Q4. What impact did the program have on your career transition?
In a few words: 2X CTC Growth !
Q5. What extra steps outside the program learning did you take to
escalate this career transition?
Since the begginning, I knew the difference between career services and placement. Also,
after a quick glance on the Google sheet showcasing the cohort’s other learners, i knew that
a shot at the best roles would be far fetched, especially when there are so many hardcore
coders in the cohort and my non-tech background.
Thus i did the following : Actively looked up on LinkedIn & Glassdoor, putting in keywords rele-
vant to data analytics. Did mini projects at my workplace to build credibility (asked for Linke-
dIn recommendations) on my data skills. These projects greatly helped connect business and
data objectives.
Q6. How has your experience been so far with the program? Would
you recommend the program to any of your friends/colleagues?
As far as recommending goes, I would definitely endorse the programme for its rich content
and comprehensive approach to Data Science.

Q4. What impact did the program have on your career transition?
Though i have been doing data analytics and data mining work at my existing job, this
program gave me a structured approach to the process and outcome of it.
Q5. What extra steps outside the program learning did you take to
escalate this career transition?
I have learnt R and python basics before enrolling into this program and would suggest the
same for the enthusiast learners to take full advantage of the course.
Q6. How has your experience been so far with the program? Would
you recommend the program to any of your friends/colleagues?
I would definitely recommend this program. The course contents in the program are very clear
and precise and well structured. Though it does not require in-person presence at the univer-
sity campus, it is very close to classroom session. The discussion forums where everybody is
there to help you for doubts is absolutely amazing.
