In my review, the following are some of the benefits of enrolling in UpGrad’s Data Science course:
1. UpGrad guarantees 500+ hours of interactive learning through live interactive sessions, as we believe that live classes are best for disciplines like data science.
2. Python boot camp is provided free of charge. This aspect piqued my interest because if you want to succeed in this industry, you must be fluent in at least one coding language.
The following are some of the disadvantages of taking UpGrad’s Data Science course:
1. No job placement promise; If you’re an aspiring data scientist, work experience is important, and if you’re paying thousands of dollars to learn one skill, you’ll undoubtedly want a job afterward, but there’s no guarantee that UpGrad will deliver a solid salaried position.
2. UpGrad caters to a wide range of people, from full-time MBAs to management courses. They do not specialize in a single field, which is a significant disadvantage in today’s environment when domain specialization is critical.
3. Expensive; UpGrad’s data science course is a little on the pricey side; we can’t say that it’s a budget-friendly option.
4. Working professionals do not have access to flexible study plans since they do not provide flexible schedules tailored to their needs.

A very common question which I have been receiving lately is upgrad worth it?
I will help you with this query of yours. Almost about 3 months ago I had enrolled in their data science program and there are major drawbacks which created doubts in my head whether is upgrad worth it? as I feel they are playing with the student’s time and money The institute mentions that they conduct live classes, but it is not continued for the whole training. And only a certain amount of sessions like for instance, out of 300 hours only 100 hours are dedicated for live sessions. The rest of them are mostly pre-recorded videos. Some fundamentals courses or training from Upgrad consist only of recorded videos and apart from their data science program some of the Master, MBA, and data analytics courses are expensive and are not suitable for working professionals.
The course fee is quite high, and even after paying that amount, there is no assurance that you will get a job after course completion. For those who don’t meet the criteria to avail of the assured job opportunity, there is no provision to claim a refund on the fees paid or any other kind of adjustment for the lost opportunity. After analyzing my reviews do you still feel is upgrad worth it?
Definitely No! You can find far more better options than UpGrad like Scalar, Udemy, Intellipath, DataTrained etc.
