“I always knew that this was going to be a rigorous course and it really lived up to the expectation. Even with all external challenges and so much uncertainty, IIMA made sure that the quality of course content, delivery and rigour lives up to IIMA brand. I never felt missing the classroom experience, even though classes were running in D2D (Direct to Devive) mode. This course is an amalgamation of foundational statistics, data analytics techniques and business applications. I really learned ‘WHY’ and ‘HOW’ part of business analytics rather than just knowing ‘WHAT’ technique to apply. This course has all the elements to make a great business professional out of you, who knows how to employ data to make right decisions.”

“Like other long-duration academic programmes of IIMA, the ePGD-ABA unequivocally stands out for its rigour, quality, and closely monitored by the in-house faculty of the institute has elevated the quality of the programme to a truly world-class level. In every course, besides hands-on application/implementation, a very strong emphasis was laid on an in-depth understanding of the theoretical/mathematical subtleties underpinning the models & algorithms. This was further supplemented by rich in-class discussion & presentation. In nutshell, the last 16 months for me, had been a transformational academic experience, which I believe, not only will give a strong impetus to my future career progressions but also will shape my contributions in this field.”

“The ePGD-ABA programme has helped me build a broad perspective. The course content was quite exhaustive, covering all the aspects of business analytics. The programme instructors were superb, and they were very sensitive to the batch’s learning needs, given their diverse backgrounds, The live sessions were very interactive where queries were also answered. The assessments and assignments with midnight deadlines made the journey both challenging and exciting. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been a part of IIM Ahmedabad’s pioneer batch of the Advanced Business Analytics programme.”
