    I am a Data Analyst from Data ScienceTech Institute (DSTI), batch S23. Before, applying for DSTI, I looked up lot of colleges in Sophia Antipolis region but it was the course structure of DSTI, that looked very appealing to me. The institution though seemed relatively new as compared to other universities, but there were a lot of reviews from students that really impressed me.
