While we cannot vouch for 3rd party websites, this answer is being written on personal experience. Coursera is a recognised website and has good courses. The courses are valid across the Globe. The paid certificates do definitely carry a weightage. And when you have a certification in any subject or course, it gives added value to your CV. So just to answer your question, Coursera Certifications do have weightage when applying for jobs that match these skills that you have learnt.

Yes, over the last 2- 2.5 years, the depth of the content on Coursera has been growing and what started as short MOOCs is now full online.  There are 19 degrees. So the same top universities who teach on Coursera, now 19 of them have degrees on the Coursera platform. As an example, The University of Pennsylvania which is in Ivy League University in the US has masters in Computers and Information Technology on Coursera and the admission process, faculty, is the same and it's one fourth the cost because online courses are a lot more cost efficient and degree is the same. There are 19 such degrees  that are available. These are in the areas of Computer science, data science, Management programs (MBA), and Public Health.

We see a lot of people from India applying for these degrees and studying these degrees as well because the student then has a choice between masters in IT from an Indian University which may or maynot be high quality or to do it from overseas in a top quality institution and at the same time continue to work because work can be continued with an online degree. So we do see quite a few students applying from India.

At the undergraduate level there is a Bachelor's in Computer Science at the University of London.

Leading Universities like Yale University, Michigan, Integral College London and as of now, In India, IBS hyderabad and IIM Calcutta are the ones who create the content on Coursera platform.

From job steadiness point, the companies that create the content on Coursera will also be useful. Companies like Google, Amazon, IBM creates content on our platform. On our enterprise platform, Coursera works with about 2300 organisations and also with campuses. So these companies are many of those companies which students might aspire to work at, for example Infosys, Airtel, Axis Bank, etc.

These educators who are Coursera partners have created almost 4200 courses. These are called MOOCs (Massive open online courses) which usually are 12-15hours in duration. If one has to take a series of courses, it is called a specialisation. Today, we provide full online degrees as well.

There are many domains of content but the biggest usage is in the domains of business, technology and data science whether they are working professionals or students in colleges as well.

Dear Aspirant,

BBA is related more towards managerial concepts and also the special fields like marketing, finance, HR, Operations etc

So you can choose the field of your interest and find courses related to that or you can do general courses related to communication, leadership, negotiation skills, strategic business management

Hope this helps
