upGrad Data Science Course - Worth it? Can I Join?
Hi everyone, I recently resigned to switch my career to data science but don’t have a clear roadmap yet. I got a call from upGrad—they offer a course with job assistance and claim 95% placement after assessments. Has anyone tried their program? Is it worth it? Also open to other course suggestions. Thanks!
