Clarification: In my entire video I am not referring to college degree. College degree matters (as of 2021). Also there are certifications where you have to put lot of work to earn it, those also have positive impact. I am mainly referring to those certificates where you pay say 20$ or 1000 rs on some edutech website, you watch bunch of videos, there is a test that is very easy and you get a certificate. Such certificates hold no value. Think about this: You are a company hiring for data analyst position, you get 100 applications. 99% of them will have some or the other online certificate. They have become cheap and easy to obtain and in this world anything that is easy to obtain holds no value. That is the bitter truth! I want to save people especially from those institute who are scamming them to earn money on the name of *job guarantee programs*

Youtube is best university, it doesn't give us certificate, but makes us strong in real in any field we are in.

Certification + practice + knowledge = performance in interview

I get what you are trying to say and totally agree that certificates will not get job. But just wanted to add that for someone who is from Non-CS field, certificates do help in at least getting interview calls and shortlisting (given that you've made personal projects too).

For a Non-CS graduate, no one believes directly in skill until there's a little proof that shows you learnt some theoretical concepts. Resume gets dumped the moment you apply on a job posting.

certifications can be good for students and freshly graduate, because mostly all certification have capstone project based on real world problem and scenario if you can do it its mean you know some stuff, hands of knowledge of particular skill and I believe most of companies wants hands on knowledge of particular skillset, those tiny projects can be a good way to reflect your skills and depth knowledge, clean code writing and many more things.
that's all from my perspective and experience

Dhaval this is a brilliant video, I was having a discussion with a fellow colleague and friend about this and he said the same thing you said.
Certificates definetly don't hinder you but they don't help you significantly in getting a job.
Instead we need to show our technical skills through our projects

Dil ki baat keh di Sir Ji, even people of my organization is doing this show off thing on LinkedIn and I was totally confused by this so Dhaval Sir's muscle 🔥

I am your new student and I really appreciate your work. You are my favourite teacher. ❤️

Correct review mate,
Go with cognitive classes (IBM initiative)same course by IBM at Coursera for paid get depth knowledge
YouTube itself an university you will have all tutorials on data science at last your knowledge can get you job
MCA, msc Mathematics, cs, stats, btech, MBA are enough degree to support your eligibility

All this is good for talk! Even I was like this.. but what I learnt is that certificates are like passport.. esp if you have go through the recruitment process.. In my own experience, I was not even getting calls until I got few certificates on my resume.. if you have few patents, or some attractive projects you can showcase, it’s good else certificates is one of the differentiation factor which will help you get into the hiring process.. the end result is ofc your knowledge and attitude..

[anoopashware]

thanks for clarifying the value of the certificate

[akashkece]

certification definitely help in getting more interview calls. otherwise many companies do not even consider your resumes

[forbiddenfalse]

I will build that muscles sir 💪🏻🔥 Thank you for saving my money. and also pulling out of trance of linkedIn certificates.

Most of the Data Science certifications are not helpful. But other certifications like FRM, CFA, certifications from GARP, PMP etc. are considered as requirements for shortlisting under different job roles of companies. But Clearing the interview is all dependent on the individual skills and some amount of luck as well.

[DemystifyAI]

What are you offering ? Performance during the interview is a known fact, In addition learning the skill is equally important. You will not get projects in the skill you want to learn or you dream off. Stop using metaphors and give us real use cases

[IbrahimYaman-ebth]

We are not taking certificate because of getting into a job but getting into an interview!
