Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a job after completing this program?

We design the program to maximize your employability — real portfolio projects, interview preparation, and skills aligned with what hiring managers ask for. While we cannot guarantee placement, graduates who complete all labs and projects are well-prepared for data science and ML engineering interviews.

Do I need experience in machine learning or statistics?

No. We cover the necessary statistics and linear algebra within the program. You need basic Python skills (loops, functions, lists), but all ML concepts are taught from the ground up.

Do I need a powerful GPU for deep learning?

No. All deep learning labs are designed to run on CPU within Docker containers on standard laptops. For larger experiments, we guide you through using free GPU resources on Google Colab.

What datasets will I work with?

You will work with real-world datasets from domains like telecom (churn prediction), e-commerce (recommendations), finance (fraud detection), and healthcare. We use publicly available datasets from Kaggle and UCI ML Repository.

How is this different from a Coursera or Udemy data science course?

This is a live, instructor-led program with a 15-student batch size. You get real-time feedback, code reviews, and personalized guidance — not pre-recorded videos. The curriculum is designed by an architect who has hired data scientists at Fortune-500 companies.

What if I miss a live session?

All sessions are recorded and available on the student portal within 24 hours. The instructor and TAs are available on Slack for questions between sessions.
