Student Reviews
After just 6 months of starting my AI and ML journey, I have been rewarded with a Data Scientist position in Tech Mahindra with a very hefty package and this is just after going halfway through the program.
According to me this particular program is pretty useful and adds value because of its structured approach, strict schedule, deadlines and the discipline in learning that the overall process brings along.
I appreciate the platform upGrad has provided and how they have arranged modules and assignments. Modules are locked until you complete the previous one, so it feels like clearing a semester and going to the next one.

About WES Recognition
Please note that the WES approval status of the Executive Post Graduate Program (EPGP-DS/MLAI/SD) shall be known by early 2022. We would like to inform you that this program (under an earlier name) was approved by WES and accorded 1 year diploma equivalency status. While the name of the program has changed to reposition the program in the market, the program curriculum, delivery and learning outcomes remain the same and as such we are cautiously optimistic that the WES approval status shall remain unchanged. We will inform you about WES approval status by early 2022 or alternatively to know the status, you may apply to WES with requisite information and documents on your successful completion of the program. upGrad and IIITB in no way take responsibility in case WES does not recognise the program.
