How good is the IIM Bangalore Business Analytics Program?

The Post Graduate Program in Business Analytics (PGPBA) at IIM Bangalore is a subset of the PGP program and is fully compatible with it.

• There is no such thing as a PGPBA section, and all sections are made up of a mix of PGP and PGPBA students.
• PGP and PGPBA courses are offered in Term 1 and Term 2. From Term 3 onwards, PGPBA has a well-designed analytics curriculum. In comparison to the PGP, the curriculum is more intensive and Math-heavy. PGP students can take the mandatory subjects for PGPBA students as electives.
• Summer, lateral, and final placements are common for PGP and PGPBA students, with ample opportunities for PGPBA students. In the summer, a large portion of the batch received consulting offers.
• PGPBA students, like PGP students, are eligible for term exchange.

The PGPBA program is similar to an MBA with a specialization in Business Analytics, and there are no significant differences between the PGP and PGPBA programs. It was created with the growing importance of business analytics in mind, as well as the growing demand for talent to analyze and demystify big data.
