Advanced Certificate in Data Science (Part Time) From IIM Calcutta, Kolkata

In my opinion, the IIM APDS is just an average course. ISB Hyderabad course is much better. It’s better to do Data Science courses from technical universities rather than Management colleges like IIM. Also, the IIM APDS course is quite expensive and more like a BA course than Data Science. It focuses more on Business Mathematics/ Business case study discussion than how to explore a data set.

ISBs course best among these courses because it has all the things that are required:

• Brand

• Faculty

• Industry Connect

• Curriculum

• Alumni

Also this course has more time for all the subjects and capstone projects too. The only drawback is the high fees. 

Firstly the advanced program in Data Science is for working professionals only. It aims at upgrading the skills of a professional in his respective field. The various fields that are covered in its curriculum include

• Statistics

• Dat Mining 

• Data Warehousing

• Machine Learning

• Data Visualisation 

• Data Analysis

The course focuses solely on application in the above mentioned fields. You can choose a project depending on the requirements of your firm. You get special guidance by the IIM faculty throughout the time you work on the project. This helps you master your skills and gain experience. So this course is highly recommended for professionals who want to make the most of their skills.
