We bring to you the analytics and data science training institute ranking for the year 2018. As a part of the study we reached out to 20+ institutes that are offering training in the area of new tech. We sent out a Google form to the participants that were sorted for eligibility based on these two criteria: 1) They should have multiple programs in analytics and data science, 2) The flagship program not to be a long duration.
The key parameters based on which these training institutes were ranked comprised of course content & comprehensiveness, faculty details such as those with PhD or industry experience, student experience such as post completion engagement. Other parameters included external collaboration, placement assistance and more.
Each of these parameters have been ranked on the scale of 0-5 where 0 is for worst and 5 for best. The institutes that could not be a part of the list either did not participate in the ranking process or could not make it to our list.
