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 big No if I talk about their placements. They simply copy jobs from Naukri and Hirist. Don’t you think it's a big joke UpGrad is doing to their learners? These jobs most of the time land you directly on the Naukri page. Did I invest 2.6 Lacs for their PG Program in Data Science in collaboration wRead more

These jobs most of the time land you directly on the Naukri page. Did I invest 2.6 Lacs for their PG Program in Data Science in collaboration with IBM just to get Naukri jobs? Not at all.
Newly started training companies are more viable than UpGrad. At least, you can do the same data science course at a much cheaper rate.
UpGrad is a total scam and I would say they are running the biggest education rackets in India. They put a lot of money into advertisements just to lure students and professionals with no quality placements. Why does an education company need to put crores of money into brand ambassadors and drama series? If you have got material into your courses along with good placements, people will themselves enroll in your courses by simply word of mouth.
Their counselors are the real culprits. The moment you take admissions into their programs, they will start ignoring your calls and after some time they will simply block you. And much to your frustration, at times their mentors will give you blunt replies that are not easy to fathom.
