All learning is rendered useless until it is applied to projects and practiced scientifically. PGP-DSBA enables you to apply all your analytical learnings across domains such as marketing and retail, web and social media, finance and risk management, supply chain and logistics to name a few. Understanding different domains and how business analytics can be applied to them has helped several of our DSBA alumni to switch domains and establish successful careers in business and functional roles in a domain different than their own.
4. Exposure to a Network of Analytics Professionals (Faculty, Industry Experts, and Peers) –
Any PGP-DSBA batch has learners with 4 to 15+ years of work experience. What does that mean for you? That a peer sitting next to you could even be the CXO of a company looking to build an analytics team from scratch. Great Lakes analytics faculty features two of the top ten analytics academicians in the country. All our professors and visiting faculty have decades of industry experience and academia. Industry experts come from top-notch organizations like Cognizant, Deloitte, Evalueserve, Accenture, Microsoft, American Express, etc. Exposure to all these professionals, faculty, and industry experts can only mean one thing – effective learning for our candidates.

They guide them on what the current trends in the industry are, what successful business analysts do to crack interviews, what are the distinguishing elements on their resume, etc. The Great Lakes job board is an excellent resource for our learners to start applying to jobs hand-picked by our learner success team. Placement assistance is an important aspect of the PGP-DSBA program, hence our high transition rates and higher program recommendations.
