Hear from
Our Learners
Saurav Kant Kumar, Experience: 3.6 Years
“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.”

Shashank Sane, Experience: 11 Years

“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).”

Amarpal Singh, Experience: 17 Years

“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.”

Gaurav Singh, Experience: 2 Years

“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.”
