Mukesh Ambani recently said that 'data' is the new 'oil', which signals towards the multifold growth opportunities in the world of Data Analytics. A fresh departure from the traditional streams, Data Analytics stands as a great alternative for a management graduate who wishes to get an early bird advantage in the field.
In today's modern economy, data is very easy to gather and store, thanks to the rapid developments in the field of mobile computing and network technology. However, the real obstacle is knowing what to do with all the data. According to a study by IBM, one in three business leaders do not know how to transform their data into meaningful intelligence. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) with Data Analytics is designed to help you unlock that ability.
Pursuing MBA in Analytics also opens up a world of opportunities and benefits that are highly relevant in 2025 and even beyond. Even freshers can expect placements with above average pay packages, and rapid growth thereafter. A simple Google search would reveal how employee-favouring the Analytics job market is.
For an example, our student Dhirendra S. got placed in an organisation as a fresher at a salary exceeding Rupees 6 Lakhs Per Annum(LPA), all due to Business Analytics specialisation in the MBA. And he's just one of the many many examples we have, like Hitesh L., Lokesh F. etc. All of these are students from the MBA 2019 or later batches. Somewhere or the other, a student is making a successful career in Analytics even as you read this.
The MBA in Business Analytics focuses on two aspects of the data science field: using theoretical models in the collection, design, and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, and the real-world process of creating and implementing solutions based on that data. You'll gain an understanding of the entire life cycle of big data: capturing, organizing, analyzing, drawing conclusions and taking strategic action to gain leverage or a competitive advantage.
MBA post-graduates in Business Analytics can find jobs in various sectors like Information Technology, Healthcare, Financial Institutions, E-Commerce, etc. Thanks to the growing importance of analytics in business, the average salary of MBA Business Analytics professionals in India is Rs. 11 lakhs per annum, making it one of the highest preferred streams for management graduates.
