I had applied for Uber. The knowledge that I

gained through the course really helped to crack
the interview. This program is ideal for anyone
who is looking for a transition into the field of
AISHWARYA Data Science. The curriculum is very well designed
SARDA and the placement support is very good.
Business Analyst

Most of the students in the batch were from

non-IT background, the course is designed
keeping them in mind. The faculties wnsured
that the basics were covered. They put in a
lot of time and attention towards us and SAI RAMYA
even repeated the sessions whenever MACHAVARAPU
Data Analyst
required. With Career support, I got to
interview with many companies like CTS,
Mercedes, etc.

The capstone project gave me an opportunity to

optimize and automate the best practises used in
the industry
