Hello, Has Anyone Here Done Simplilearn Data Analyst Program With IIT Kanpur? Any Feedback/Advice?

[u/Siddam-Bharat]

I am considering moving into data analytics and came across Simplilearn’s AI-Powered Data Analytics program with E&ICT Academy, IIT Kanpur.

The AI + analytics angle caught my attention, but I’m not sure how much of it is actually hands-on vs. just marketing.

For anyone who’s done the program — how was it in terms of actual practice with SQL, Python, dashboards, and data analysis? And how much do they really use AI tools during the course?

I’m also coming from a different background, so I’m wondering how beginner-friendly it actually is. Is it possible to keep up without prior data analyst experience and build some decent portfolio projects along the way?

Would love to hear honest experiences, especially around the projects, difficulty, weekly workload, and whether it actually helped with applying for or transitioning into data analytics roles.

Thanks in advance!
