At the outset, I must say that I am extremely fortunate to have found this dual course on upGrad (PG along with Master's in AI and ML) which has added immensely to my knowledge base on AI and ML subjects ever since I started pursuing this course. The course content and the learning material is tailored for industry professionals who wish to up the ante in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and has the right blend of pace, comprehensiveness, and exhaustiveness to enable holistic learning on the topics. I don’t think there are many courses in the market that are offering this kind of course curricula, rigor, quality, and comprehensiveness at the price point that upGrad is offering, and it is internationally recognized as well which opens up more avenues of growth for the learners. The course is very well designed and provides ample opportunities to upskill in this area. I must say that under the tutelage of IIIT-B, LJMU, and upGrad, I felt myself to be in safe hands, geared to catapult myself on a continuous growth path in the industry. The course provides good coverage in terms of the industry understanding of applied AI concepts for various domains with a practitioner viewpoint for easy assimilation of topics. This course has honed my ability to understand what is the state-of-the-art in AI and ML be able to contribute to the research community and envisage new products and offerings leveraging AI and ML for various industries. This course has set me on the path of a constant quest to be a lifelong learner in the AI space to make this world a better place to live. upGrad has some very skilled people on the panel who have solid industry background. It requires great skill, adeptness, patience and perseverance to engage with the learners at their level and the trainers have been doing a fabulous job of engaging with the learners for meaningful discussions and clear the doubts on topics and subjects on an ongoing basis. I must thank the entire teaching staff of upGrad and IIITB for enhancing not only my knowledge on the subjects but also developing the right intuition and understanding which will go a long way in my career. The course sets the learners on a solid footing to delve deeper into the more complex and advanced topics in AI, ML, Deep Learning, Neural Network (certainly not for the faint hearted). The ease and the poise these topics are handled by the trainers, makes the topics look much simpler than what it would initially appear to be and encourages the learners to further expand their knowledge. As Dumbledore once told Harry Potter, “At Hogwarts, help will be given to those who need it.” Well, upGrad has been like a personal Prof. Dumbledore to me, the kind whom I can always message on WhatsApp. Whatever I need, when I need it, and how I need it, is what upGrad was thoroughly equipped with. On platform or off platform, support was given. The help I received from my thesis supervisor and SMEs, Aayushi Verma, Dr. Rupal Bhargava, Arihant Jain, Reena Duggal, Narayanee Viswanathan, coupled with all my interactions with the professors from LJMU Dr. Ahmed Kaky helped solidify my learning and gave me the confidence to successfully complete the PG program for foundational understanding in AI and ML and then move on to prepare for my research thesis.

upGrad Journey
The upGrad Journey was a roller coaster ride. I joined upGrad in June 2020 after being impressed by the free courses I took which were offered by upGrad. I instantly enjoyed the online learning experience and registered for the Master's program. The platform was immersive, organized and easy to use. Even though the subjects were a little daunting, I have loved studying over the last two years. I did have doubts about my abilities at one time and considered quitting, but thanks to my friends, family, and everyone at upGrad who supported and inspired me not just throughout my Master's journey but always. When I reflect on my path, I'm happy and appreciative of what I've accomplished.
upGrad Journey
My upGrad journey was very knowledgeful and I have done a lot of new things practically.
upGrad Journey
it was an exciting roller coaster ride for me because I had so much to learn and implement. I got great mentors and a great support group for any query I had.
upGrad Journey
I liked the PGDDA part of upGrad. The interaction was quite useful and though provoking. But the MSc journey was a roguh ride. The student mentor was not reachable till 80% of the program until he got replaced. In a direct college envrironment the professors know the students better and can guide them in their master's journey. This was totally missing in the online mode. Also, there was no interaction between the students.
upGrad Journey
As a flight attendant, I crossed the globe before the pandemic struck, and now I've arrived at the massive destination of data science as a total novice to the world of coding. IITB PGD-DS curriculum was structured in such a way that I didn't end up deciding that this wasn't for me. Although meeting deadlines and completing regular quizzes and graded assessments were challenging alongside the work, live webinars with SMEs for doubt resolution, mentors and coach support were always available. The LJMU Master's degree is a thesis-based academic experience. Learning about scientific research and its methodologies, research ethics, topic selection, thesis writing, and presentation was a fascinating and eye-opening opportunity. Projects, internships, and reading research papers from various industries have given me insights into how an organization operates and how data analysis aids in making business decisions that help the organization meet its objectives, which was a completely new area for me to investigate, and the knowledge I gained from interacting with peers and reading content articles facilitated my learning in a way that was both quick and relatively painless. The honor of being named the recipient of the "Most Inspired Woman Award" has kept me engaged in my studies despite times when I felt like dropping out. I feel like I finally have a firm grasp on the material and can use it to my advantage to begin my career transition.
upGrad Journey
It was one of the distinct and most updated course I found according to industry requirement and backed by university at the same time.

upGrad Journey
I will summarize my overall experience with this self-authored poem:
"Twas bumpy at thine start
Twas rosier as time passeth by
Idle mind now awoken
Unsure heart's confidence brimmed
Assignments and projects whet-stones to thine new sword
Indulging in addiction of researching the unknown
Intellectual conversations with comrades night and day
Hath fanned thine will of fire forever and a day."
A sincere thanks to the pedagogy at LJMU and IIIT Bangalore, the support team at upGrad and my fellow batchmates for making this experience truly worth the moments.

I started my journey with upGrad in April 2020 after registering for the masters's program. It was an extremely satisfying and joyful learning journey for me. The way the program is structured into weekly modules gave me an achievable learning goal every week. And since each module comes with quizzes, I managed to get a great understanding of all the concepts in the first try. Simply put, upGrad has managed to "gamify" the learning experience for me. The end result is my switch from a software engineer to a data scientist in just one year, mostly aided by the learning materials on upGrad. I particularly liked the group projects and coaching sessions. The industry sessions and post program learning content and support is just as helpful as the course content itself, and the industry mentors have been very helpful in shaping up my career. I would like to thank everyone associated with upGrad and wish you all the very best!
