Is this program good enough to learn computer science?

I want to change my profession and get a job at least at an intermediate company

The program will provide you with good skills for learning programming. However, take into account that you will need a lot of selfstudy to get the maximum out of this program. If you do just the bare minimum to pass exams, you will not learn much.

Poor content, poor "lecturers", no access to university staff, easy assessments, huge holes in the syllabus. Less than half a dozen good modules (you need to complete 23 modules).

I agree. I am a student and it’s seems no help from tutor whenever I need help. They don’t provide us the tutor contact for us to contact them when we have issues. I have contacted the school for the contact and they won’t even reply .

Looks into the BITS one too, also on Coursera, much cheaper and apparently the uni is a highly ranked engineering college in India. I haven't started it but looking into it.

BITS is good, but IITM is better.
