The EMBA in Analytics programme generates immense significance, owing to the dearth of skilled professionals in Industry 4.0 that has led to a demand for business analysts, data scientists and management leaders with analytical competencies. The programme will bridge this gap for learners to improve their employment prospects, gain higher packages and appraisals, faster promotions, and accelerate mobility in their career trajectory.
The six-term programme offers flexibility in choosing credits from over 40 electives spread across nine domains that will be dispensed through hybrid learning including both online and on-campus modules and an immersive pedagogy comprising case studies, simulations, peer learning, industry workshops, and capstone projects. Learners will equip themselves with skills in emerging technologies like AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Spatial Data Science, and Cloud Computing required to succeed in Industry 4.0.
