If you want to learn data analytics in a physical room in Bengaluru, these two are on most shortlists. SkilloVilla runs a classroom programme at its JP Nagar centre at a published price of \u20b91,49,999, currently \u20b91,19,999. ExcelR teaches from BTM Layout and Marathahalli, lists its data analyst course at 150+ hours over 6 months, and publishes no fee at all, as checked on its page in August 2026. That single difference, a price on the page versus a price on a phone call, shapes how you should approach each conversation.<\/p>\n

This is SkilloVilla’s blog, so here is the standard we have held to. Every ExcelR detail below came off their live Bangalore course page on 16 August 2026, nothing has been inferred, and the things ExcelR does better than us are named rather than skipped.<\/p>\n

Where the classrooms actually are<\/h2>\n

Start with geography, because in Bengaluru a commute decides whether you finish a course.<\/p>\n

SkilloVilla’s classroom programme<\/a> runs from JP Nagar, in the south of the city. That suits you if you are in Jayanagar, Banashankari, Bannerghatta Road or BTM.<\/p>\n

ExcelR lists two Bengaluru addresses on its course page: BTM Layout stage 1, behind Tata Motors, and a Marathahalli centre on the Outer Ring Road near Munnekolala. If you live or work in Whitefield, Marathahalli, Bellandur or anywhere along the eastern tech corridor, that second address is a decisive practical advantage, and no amount of teaching quality on our side fixes a 90-minute crawl across the city three evenings a week. Say that plainly: for east Bengaluru, ExcelR is the more realistic classroom.<\/p>\n

What each programme covers<\/h2>\n

ExcelR’s data analyst course in Bangalore is tool-broad. Its published curriculum runs Excel from basics through Power Query and VBA, MySQL from SELECT statements into window functions and triggers, then Tableau and Power BI, with Python, R, business statistics, SAS and ChatGPT listed as value adds. The page counts 50+ labs, 30+ assignments and 1500+ interview questions, plus lifetime access to their e-learning material. Projects span healthcare, banking, HR attrition, energy, aviation and e-commerce.<\/p>\n

SkilloVilla’s classroom programme teaches Excel, SQL, Python, statistics and dashboarding, with the emphasis on business problem-solving rather than tool count: fewer tools, more time spent on how an analyst reasons through a messy business question. A Generative AI classroom variant is offered at \u20b91,69,000, currently \u20b91,39,000, and both carry the 1:1 mentorship model, where a working analyst reviews your portfolio and runs your mock interviews.<\/p>\n

Which curriculum is better is honestly a matter of taste. Two tools learned to interview depth beat five learned to demo depth, but a broad tool list is real value if your target job descriptions name Tableau and SAS specifically. Read three job ads for the role you want and let those decide.<\/p>\n

We searched ExcelR’s page for a rupee figure and found none anywhere in it, so treat any number you see quoted elsewhere online as unverified. Classroom institutes commonly price on enquiry, and it is not by itself a red flag, but it does put the burden on you. Ask for the total in writing, ask whether GST is included, and ask specifically whether the IIT add-on is inside that number, because their own benefits list says the IIT certification cost is included except for the IIT Madras Pravartak one.<\/p>\n

SkilloVilla publishes \u20b91,49,999, currently \u20b91,19,999, for the classroom programme and offers scholarships based on candidate profile; admissions can walk you through payment options. It is also worth naming the obvious alternative: our online track<\/a> at \u20b971,999, currently \u20b958,999, teaches the same subject live for a fraction of the classroom price. Pay the classroom premium only if you know you need the room. Our breakdown of data analytics course fees in India<\/a> puts both against the wider market.<\/p>\n

The JUMBO PASS is ExcelR’s strongest card<\/h2>\n

Credit where it is due. ExcelR’s page describes a blended model where a learner can attend classroom, live online and e-learning sessions, and a JUMBO PASS that allows unlimited batches for 365 days. Sessions are recorded, and e-learning access is described as lifetime.<\/p>\n

That is genuinely useful, and not a small thing. Classroom courses fail people whose work travel, family emergencies or shift rosters knock them out for three weeks in the middle of the SQL module. Being able to sit the same module again with the next batch, at no extra cost, converts a missed month from a disaster into an inconvenience. SkilloVilla does not offer an equivalent repeat-batch pass, and if your calendar is genuinely unpredictable, that difference should weigh heavily.<\/p>\n

The IIT add-on<\/h2>\n

ExcelR’s page pairs the data analyst course with an add-on certification described as being in association with IITM: 15+ hours of live-virtual sessions by IITM professors, an optional two-day campus immersion in Chennai, and a short quiz at the end that releases the certificate. Their page also refers to it as an IIT Pravartak certificate in one place, and their benefits list notes that the Pravartak certification cost is not included in the course.<\/p>\n

Read it accurately and it is a real add-on rather than a badge for the main course. Fifteen hours of guest sessions and a quiz is not an IIT programme, and ExcelR does not claim it is. If the certificate name matters to you, ask what the Pravartak add-on costs on top and decide with that number in hand. SkilloVilla has no university partner and issues its own certificate, which is a plain limitation on our side if a recognisable institutional name is what you are shopping for.<\/p>\n

Mentorship and class experience<\/h2>\n

ExcelR describes trainers with 12+ years of industry experience, a dedicated placement cell reachable on WhatsApp, calls and email, and hands-on labs and assignments. That is a solid, well-run training-institute model, and the support channels are more responsive than the category average.<\/p>\n

SkilloVilla’s structural difference is the 1:1 mentor: a working analyst assigned to you for the length of the track, reviewing your projects, running mock interviews and telling you what their own panels screen for. In a classroom, a trainer’s attention divides across the room. A mentor’s does not. For a career switcher who cannot yet see which gap is the one costing them interviews, that is where the money goes.<\/p>\n

Placement support<\/h2>\n

ExcelR’s page cites hiring-partner numbers in three different places: 4000+ in the hero, 2000+ under job readiness and 350+ in the classroom benefits list. We mention that not to score a point, but because it is the clearest illustration of why partner counts are marketing figures rather than audited ones. It is also why SkilloVilla publishes named companies instead of a count.<\/p>\n

SkilloVilla’s placement assistance<\/a> covers resume and portfolio building, mock interviews and referrals. Alumni have landed analyst roles at Accenture, Mu Sigma, PwC, Deloitte, Flipkart, Swiggy and Razorpay, with packages running 4 to 15 LPA, a median of 9.5 LPA and a highest of 32 LPA. Neither provider sells a job guarantee. Ask both for a recent list of placed learners in the specific role you want, and if you can, speak to one of them.
