Great Learning

I had taken MIT AAIDSP program, with collaboration with Great Learning. My experience has been very smooth, the team is very patient and understanding, helping with coordinating with the faculties of MIT or Assignment scores issues, or not being able... Read More to join any classes or mentored sessions, at every point the program manager and their team is always their for guidance of any kind -- program related or faculties or coding or syllabus related queries. The system portal (Olympus) is also very sophisticated and helpful.

Some of the things that were highlight for me:
1) Walkthrough projects by industry mentors, they explain every line in the code, helps clear the concept easily irrespective of you are beginner or advanced level.
2) Coding problems quizzes, very helpful, cover the important parts of the concepts and helps you sit down and actually learn to code yourself.
3) Mentored Learning sessions, my sessions taken by the mentor were very detailed, helpful and doubt solving oriented. At no point in the program was I left confusing for any topic that I had been taught by the faculties. I could always ask them, and they'd respond.

Overall, highly recommend to anyone looking to kickstart their career from basics to advance level in the field of AI and Data Science.

The program covers most of the courses needed to start a career in data or learn data science. The only hiccup with the program could be the Zoom sessions held on weekdays during work hours. If you have a job during the week on regular business hours, this could be an issue. If not, please go for it.

The MIT Data Science and Applied AI course was a highly rewarding learning experience that significantly expanded both my technical skill set and the way I approach problem-solving. I learned a great deal and am confident that I will apply this knowledge... Read More in future endeavors. More importantly, the course opened up new ways of thinking about how data and AI can be used to address real-world challenges.

That said, the program is very intense. There were moments when I genuinely worried I might not be able to finish. However, the support offered throughout the course played a crucial role in keeping me motivated and enabling me to keep going, even during periods when I was falling behind.

For anyone considering joining, I would strongly recommend carefully factoring in the weekly time commitment before enrolling. I found it challenging to balance the workload alongside a demanding job that extends beyond a standard 9–5. If you are already feeling overwhelmed, maintaining that balance can be particularly difficult.

Overall, it was a demanding but extremely valuable experience, and one I’m glad I committed to. I would recommend this course to anyone seeking to expand their understanding of the practical applications of AI.
