DataCamp was nothing but the was a waste of time and money. The courses were repetitive and didn’t help me build practical skills. Instead, they provided all the answers and left no room for challenges. I recommend Rosalind, its a free website that offers better content. I enrolled for the course to improve my coding and needed to improve on Pandas and R. Unfortunately, I found Data Camp’s exercises too easy since they only required me to fill in the blanks following the given instructions. A better approach would have been to provide more challenging exercises that required me to code solutions from scratch.
Additionally, canceling Data Camp subscription is a hassle since they don’t have a customer service phone line, and it was hard for me to cancel my subscription. I discovered that they charged me for three extra months without my knowledge. Canceling on their website only cancels the current month’s subscription, and auto-renewal remains in place. To cancel completely, I had to read the cancellation instructions carefully to cancel the current month’s subscription and then cancel auto-renewal. That’s Cheeky business! Beware

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.
