Are e-masters worth?

I am interested to learn e-masters from IIT kanpur in machine learning and data science is worth to spend it? As its almost 8 lakh worth of course , currently i am data analyst with 3 years of experience, is it going to help me to convert into data scientist in future and get high package, please experts guide me.

Take for example the IIT Kanpur E-Masters, I know that at a level, these are schemes for these institutions to make money, but do they hold any value, will the iitian tag be of any work ? I do want to pursue a masters but cannot leave my job, GATE doesn't provide any admissions in a good online masters. Any one with similar experiences? Other opinions ? There is OMSCS georgia tech, but I am not sure about that given my academic past. Anything 😕?

What do you think about AI/ML courses floating in the market? eMasters from IIT kanpur, similar from iiitb on upgrad and others. Love to hear about your views.

What are the options for someone who wants to go back to college in India and does not want to do MBA? I have Btech degree from Tier 1 college. Mtech from India is not worth it. I don't want to go abroad for studying. I am averse to MBA because I want to keep working in building tech. I want to study more to have another chance for building myself from a student tag.

A little background: I'm 2024 cs grad from a tier 3 university placed at Zomato as an SDE-1. Getting a good pay of ~25 LPA. Should I be considering a masters in AI/ML field, considering I've no prior knowledge of the field and I'm only attracted to it because of the recent rise of LLMs. I would be open for a masters from India or abroad. What are the pros and cons? Should I go for it? If yes then what's the path that you'd suggest if you've done it or someone you know who has done it? What would be some good universities to target? Or is it a bad idea?

I am looking for part time masters program online. Most likely in AI and robotics. Objective is to build some live projects and learn things since I miss college days building cool stuff. I lack the discipline to do it on my own. What are your views on this? And what programs do you recommend if any? Also feel free to share your stories with part time masters program :)

I was interested in pursuing masters degree without leaving job , obviously because of financial commitments. Already a data analyst, was looking for BITS Pilani WILP program in AI & ML. Can anybody here guide on it? Anyone who has opted the course, can you share your experience?

[Background] 25. M. I'm a mechanical engineer and realized early during college that I'm not cut out for mechanical engineering domain. Switched to analytics domain right after college. [Current Experience] 4 YOE in an analytics firm based out of India catering to 2 major Fortune 100 companies. Leading a 10 member analytics team, directly responsible for problem solving, solution design, stake holder management etc. [Thoughts] Loved being an IC during early stage of career. Found it interesting to get into the rabbit hole of designing solutions and executing the solutions. Off late, really like being a lead and focusing on multiple problems at the same time. Little far for executing the solutions, bu focusing of understanding the porblem and designing solutions and letting the team execute it. Right now, confused about what I want to do next. [Request] Thinking of pursing a MS(DS/ML) or MBA(Analytics) for more exposure. Thoughts or suggestion welcomed.
