The three premier institutions from Eastern India IIT Kharagpur, IIM Calcutta and ISI Kolkata have teamed up to offer this unique program in the emerging area of Business Analytics. The field of business analytics aims to analyse understand and interpret large data sets from a business point of view. Technology and practices in this area are evolving rapidly and this course is expected to groom professionals with a strong foundation in statistics and machine learning, technology and business processes and applications, who will be ready for a career in this exciting field. The program will create high quality manpower for the fast growing analytics industry.
The amount of data being produced and captured is increasing at an exponential rate across business domains. International Data Corp. (IDC) forecasts that data production will increase to 40 Zettabytes (or 40 billion terabytes) by 2020, 50 times more than in 2010. This enormous amount of data can be used by business enterprises to generate new insights, enable better decision making and improve processes of organizations. Business analytics involves the analysis of data using statistical, machine learning and quantitative techniques with the purpose of understanding past performance of the business and generating new insights for the future. Despite the growing significance of business analytics, the supply of trained analytics professionals is lagging far behind the demand for such professionals. In India, the analytics market is expected to double between 201 and 2018, reaching a figure of US$ 2.3 billion by 2018, according to a report published by Nasscom and Blueocean Market Intelligence. There will be a shortage of about 200,000 data scientists in India over the next few years, according to sources in the Analytics Special Interest Group set up by NASSCOM. Hence, creation of trained industry-ready business analytics professionals is the need of the day.
This is a two year full time residential diploma programme aimed at creating business analytics professionals employable by leading Indian and foreign firms. This programme is designed for those who have an analytical mindset, are interested in tackling challenging business problems, and possess an inclination towards mathematics. Some of the salient features of the programme include courses taught by reputed faculty members at the campuses of three globally renowned institutes, hands-on business analytics training at a related company, continuous interaction with industry leaders throughout the course of the diploma programme.
