What Our Students Say About Our Faculty
"It has been an honour to get to learn so many things from Dr. Sandhya Krishnan. Thanks for inspiring us! We need more instructors like her in our schools and universities where we learn subjects in an intuitive and practical way. I feel really lucky to have a mentor and a teacher like her. Thanks for making me fall in love with Econometrics, Data analysis and R, and now I cannot get enough of them! I owe all of it to her."
Aarushi Lunia– Batch 2019-20
"Aayush sir's lecture was really really helpful! We feel familiar with the R language now. Earlier we weren't able to grasp it that quickly. He was extremely patient with us and he clarified the littlest doubt someone had. I'd be more than happy to have him conduct more sessions."
