Is it worth doing a post graduate diploma degree in data analytics from IIIT Bangalore?

As a student of PG Diploma in Data Analytics at IIIT Bangalore, here is my honest opinion of this course-

The admission counselors will hide necessary information from you, and lure you into spending Lakhs. After payment of the fee, they won’t receive any inquiry calls from you.

The course content isn’t worth the high fee. There are better and far cheaper courses available on Jigsaw/ Datacamp. The pace is very hectic as well. Assignments are very burdensome, especially for working professionals. This course is not professional friendly, unlike what the admission counselors will tell you.

Getting a diploma certificate is next to impossible upon failing in more than one subject. You’ll be taught way less, and burdened way more. The difficulty level of exams is very high. There’s a lot of strictness regarding assignment submissions. Late submissions aren’t excused at all. Plagiarism results in direct course termination. Placements aren’t guaranteed.

Considering all this, I won’t recommend you join this course at IIIT Bangalore.
