Alumni
“I've been having a great time learning with peers. The course
is designed to be very "practice" oriented with plenty of
coding and weekly assignments.”

- Srungeer Simha
Resource Consultant, Shell

“It's a perfect grind of course content, building basic foundation,

practice scenarios, exams, case studies & deadlines, live Q&A
sessions and last but not the least, the Post Graduate Degree
from IIIT-Bangalore, recognized worldwide.”

- Anshul Roy
Data Scientist, Delloite

“The program is designed for working professionals and the support

systems like Individual Mentor, Live sessions, Base Camps, Industry Con-
nect, etc. do a commendable job of keeping us on track of disciplined
learning.”

- Gaurav Choudary
Deputy Manager, SBI

I enrolled in the course and it was the best decision I took just after
completing my B. Tech. At some point in your life, you have to take
a calculated risk to achieve success in life and this was it.”
