HAVE TO SAY

After completing around 4 and a half months of the program, I

had applied for Uber. The knowledge that I gained through the
program really helped to crack the interview. This program is ideal
for anyone who is looking for a transition into the field of Data
Science. The curriculum is very well designed and the placement
support is really good.

Aishwarya Sarda

This is a top-notch program for students aspiring to make a career in

the field of Data Science. The program has a well-designed structure
and is taught by the best faculty who made us think outside the

career.

Sai Ramya Machavarapu

Business Analyst

It's been 2 years since the completion of my DSE program.

In just 2 years, I was able to get an exponential salary hike of
around 500%, compared to where I was before joining the
program. This has been possible only because of the platform
that Great Learning had initially provided.
