Upskilling in the field of Data Science can prove to be very beneficial for your career. Read further to learn about Nagaraj Ramaswamy’s journey with Great Learning’s PGP Data Science and Business Analytics Course in his own words.
I am an operations management professional with 21 years of experience. I have 10 years of Military experience, serving in the Indian Navy for 10 years as a commissioned officer. I was & I am Corporate Real Estate lead in Wabtec Corporation, Bangalore. Coming from a non-coding background, I was really scared of coding exercises & was worried about learning online as I wouldn’t get any in-person support.
Great Learning has taken care of this aspect (getting non-coders to speed) very well in curating the right training & guidance so that it looks easy for someone like me.
I did some background work before choosing Great Learning. Heard good reviews from a couple of acquaintances. As I had already done an online professional course before, so had no apprehension about online training.
Mentoring sessions were the best in GL. Mentors were very well trained & educated about the different backgrounds of the students. I was always prepared for a mentoring session & the mentor has all the patience in the world to explain the doubts. Many times a mentor has gone overboard to make sure things are understood in the right way. I would rate 10/10 to all the Mentor sessions as the quality of examples used for learning has been top class.
Mentors play a key role in making sure that whatever is taught in video sessions is clearly understood & make sure concepts are understood in the right ways. Mentor session is the one I have always looked up to. I have never missed a mentor session which in turn resulted in a good score.
In the era of the 4th Industrial revolution, knowledge of ML & Data science plays a key role in shaping many industries’ futures.
The skill sets learned definitely made me ready for the future. The DSBA program is on a strict & tight schedule. If you are a learner, you have to stick to the schedule to make sure learning happens at every stage & you get the best of the knowledge from the Industry.
Time management is the key here. A well-planned learning process will take you to greater heights in terms of understanding Data Science & Business Analytics.
