Hi All,
I am a commerce graduate and do not know any programming language. Due to COVID, I lost my job, and I was checking the options to upskill myself, and it sounded like Data Science is the key after looking at online promotions of different institutes. I inquired about almost 10-12 institutes offering data science courses and much identical course structures and topics to be covered. The only difference was the Fees and other benefits like a job guarantee. Being Jobless, I focused on keeping my savings intact, so I joined a free course from DataQuest. It’s not as easy as they claim for a non-programming background guy to become a Data Scientist. I had nothing to lose, so I focused on the course material to upskill myself. Even though I don’t have any certificate of completion, I am happy with the improved skill set and job!

DataCamp and DataQuest offer free and premium courses, which is an intelligent way to begin the process. This format of free courses proves very constructive for students or working professionals who have no idea about DataScience and want to enter the world of Statistics, Python, R, and Machine learning. This way, Students/Working professionals/Not tech background students get a clarification of what they will be dealing with during the paid course or what sort of work will be expected from them while they work as a data scientist.
See lessAlmost all the service providers provide free courses now, which gives time to the students to digest the knowledge and provide time to decide if they want or they can proceed with the Premium paid course – to remind that out of the people who enroll for the data science courses usually 30%-35% drop as they find DataScience difficult or not relevant to their existing profile.
