Is getting an online degree from IIT Madras worth it while I'm pursuing my own course?

AS
Arati Sinha Posted On : March 28th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

The increasing demand for data science and artificial intelligence has resulted in people preferring a more promising career among fresh graduates and working professionals. This field has created a number of opportunities and everyone is flocking to it.

These courses are seen as a key to a more high-paying job by UG students who end up pursuing them alongside their main course. Owing to its increasing demand, IIT Madras and IIM Calcutta have started offering online degrees in Data Science 

IITM offers courses at three levels:

  1. The foundation level: Comprises a time duration of 8 months to 3 years costing around 32k.
  2. The Diploma level: Comprises a time duration of 12 months to 3 years and costs 1,10,000.
  3. The Degree level: Varying from 12 months to 3 years, it costs 1,00,000.

While doing an online course that too from IIT Madras may look like a lucrative option here is the dark side 

  • The course is extremely expensive 
  • The long duration is not suitable for graduates or working professionals who want to move forward in their careers.
  • Lack of hands-on experience 
  • No placement of internship assistance at all
  • Pre-recorded sessions make the learning boring and uninteresting 
  • You won’t be allowed to pursue the degree unless you’ve done the diploma.

The IIT tag surely appeals to many and makes your resume look good in front of recruiters however, it does not guarantee that you have a good Data Science career. It might help you get through the first round, but the course does not offer the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in this domain. The reasons why this course is not credible are the lack of hands-on projects, pre-recorded sessions, and absence of interaction in the class or doubt-solving sessions.

The alternative for these online courses are programs offered by various platforms like Learn Bay, Skill Slash, UpGrad Great Learning, SimpliLearn, etc. These are

  • Cost friendly
  • Ace up your knowledge 
  • Offers a hands-on experience by making you work on real-time industry issues
  • Placement assistance 

All these make them a more viable option for a career in Data Science than the Online course of IIT Madras.

Is IIM Indore’s Integrated Program in Business Analytics any good?

GR
Gourav Raj Posted On : January 11th, 2023
Project Manager at OpenText (company) (2016–present)

Choosing a Data Science Program is a difficult task because the market is flooded with these courses. All of the programs are in collaboration with prestigious universities.

The program includes a fantastic combination of IIM Indore. That, however, is no longer a challenge. The best part about Jigsaw is that they always have a listening ear—they are eager to learn about the challenges of the students and are resolved with the same responsibility. Every issue will be addressed and resolved.

The course is good; the more time you spend on it, the more knowledge you will gain. you will never be crippled with content as Jigsaw is having a pretty decent quality of content and is very easy to follow.

All weekend classes will be recorded and made available to you if you want to review the material. The course will walk you through the statistical methodologies and tools used by data scientists for data analysis and modeling.

You have both graded and non-graded assignments. Non-graded for practice and graded for completion of the course. The more you practice, the more confident you will become. You will complete a mini capstone and a capstone project to gain hands-on experience.

How good is Delhi Technological University?

TS
Tanya Sharma Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Studied at Delhi Technological university

Good is a very generic term. Good in terms of what and which branch? Well, the answer to every criterion and branch is different. However, I have tried my best to cover the major parameters to determine the worth of DTU

  • Brand Name: DTU has an average brand value and is only popular in Delhi NCR, Punjab, Haryana, and parts of UP. It is well known among engineering aspirants, and recruiters but is not as recognized as NITs and IITs. 
  • Infrastructure: DTU has a great infrastructure with a lush green campus and top-notch campus facilities. The library is well-stocked, the classrooms are decked with modern facilities and DTU also has great sports facilities. 
  • Hostels: The accommodation facilities are somewhat miserable here and some of the hostel buildings are in pathetic condition with damping seepages, falling plasters, and broken windows. The mess food is average and canteens also have a limited variety. 
  • Quality of Education: Academics is where DTU fails miserably. DTU has obsolete pedagogy and curriculum that is irrelevant to the recent trends in the industry. Most of the teachers have little interest in teaching and examinations are a joke here. Some exceptionally good teachers help you in writing research papers and securing internships.
  • Crowd: The 2 major aspects that make DTU worth it is its good location and the quality of the crowd it attracts. You will find people with diverse ranks owing to the Delhi quota and the reservations. The huge diversity in the ranks brings a lot of personalities together. 
  • College Life: Life at DTU is very vibrant and dynamic with many ongoing activities and events conducted by societies, student teams, and extracurricular clubs which help the students pursue their passions.
  • Placements: The placement scenario of DTU is great especially that of computer-related branches or circuit branches. However, branches like environmental engineering or biotech don’t have very good opportunities.
  • Higher education: Every year DTU students get admitted to top graduate and MBA programs in reputed universities like Ivy League, MIT, UT Austin, University of Michigan, IIMs, XLRI, FMS, ISB. 

How good DTU is, depends on what you are expecting from it!

AK
Anjani Kumar Posted On : November 7th, 2022
B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam University (Graduated 2019)

At AKTU, the year-back criteria are pretty simple. You are likely to get a year back in any of the following situations:

  • If in a single year, you have back 6 subjects

  • If you score below 30 in 6 subjects in a year

  • If you fail any practical exam

  • If you do not appear for a practical exam

  • If you are accused of UFM or unfair means like cheating to pass an exam

Any of the above situations will result in a year back. Try to avoid this as much as possible because it will become very hectic for you.

Will BITS Pilani get an IIT status?

DR
Deepshikha Roy Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

No, I don’t think BITS will ever get an IIT status. The IITs are no longer the statement because their brand value has been diminished owing to their increasing numbers. The reason why IITs gained fame in the first place was because of their exclusivity which has been hampered now.

BITS on the other hand will never choose to dilute its brand name as it stands high with the Birla brand. It has been maintaining its exclusivity and the IIT status will do no good to its reputation.

How good is the Machine Learning course at IIIT Bangalore?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : October 10th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

The Machine Learning course by Upgrad and IIIT Bangalore extensively covers ML and AI. All the necessary topics, from Basic Mathematics and statistics to Deep Learning and Graphical Models, are included in this course. 

It isn’t a certificate program, rather you’ll earn a PG diploma. Unlike other MOOCs, this course demands serious effort from participants. It is a year-long rigorous course. Mathematics, SQL, and Python are well-taught to lay a strong foundation. The professors are well-experienced, and frequent live sessions are conducted for doubt-solving. 

Assignments are topic-relevant, and their submissions are taken seriously. The TAs are supportive. You’ll be assigned a mentor to help you with non-academic queries/issues. Frequent sessions are held with industry experts to equip students with information on the latest developments in the field. 

The assignment timeline is very rigid, and modules are released only on Sundays. So working professionals may suffer some inconvenience with this course.

Are AIIMS, PGIMER, and JIPMER overrated?

SS
Shridhar Sriraman Posted On : September 21st, 2023
Lives in Pondicherry, Puducherry, India

No, I don't think excellent medical colleges like AIIMS, PGIMER, and JIPMER are in any way overrated. They deserve the hype they receive. The patients consider JIPMER doctors as the human form of God. They trust them blindly and also respect them a lot. 

Apart from the highly experienced and educated doctors, JIPMER has some amazing facilities. Most of the departments are well-established with highly qualified doctors. The best department of JIPMER is said to be Pediatrics with the best doctor pool. 

As far as academics are concerned, the UG curriculum is well-organized. The students are taken to clinics regularly and are confident about their basic clinical skills. The best past us exposure to all sorts of cases from Male breast cancer to life-threatening emergencies and all kinds of surgeries and non-surgical cases. Recently JIPMER has started focusing on specialized surgeries in the Super Speciality departments.

The campus life is great and the hostel facilities are no less than 5-star hotels. Students are allotted single rooms and the campus is green and beautiful.

Considering everything, facilities, education, and campus life I feel JIPMER is not overrated at all.
