Top 5 Executive Data Science Courses in India


In a survey organized among 961 students across 18 cities of India, the top 5 executive data science programs have been revealed. The survey offered an instrumental insight into the data science learning of this country.
How was it done?
A dedicated online questionnaire was developed and the link was sent to over 30 schools offering data science programs, of which 21 retorted within the given time frame. The participants were requested to fill an elaborated form with four main parameters — course content, student experience, faculty, and other features like external collaboration.
The Procedure of Information Collection
Seven schools were rejected right away due to incomplete data, lack of supporting documents or non-fulfillment of eligibility criteria. The eligibility criteria for this ranking were:  
  • The course should be an abiding program in data science/ analytics (at least 5 months),
  • Should be executed by a university.
Processing of Information
Information gathered from the schools was combined with information received by the students.  Out of those, we bring to you top 5 courses which have been examined carefully by our team of experts. Students’ feedback and expert advice were also considered for the overall ranking process.
