Recently, I spent half a day speaking about Insurance Analytics at Great Lakes Institute of Management on their Gurgaon campus. Interacting with students / working professionals wanting to create a career in Analytics has always fascinated me, and so did the interaction with this group. Since I get a lot of queries on this course, I deliberately spent some extra time after the lecture and met the directors of the program to write a complete review for the help of our audience. So, here is the detailed review about this program. I hope this will help all those who are deciding which program works best for them.

Positioning of the course: from Great Lakes

(https://upgrad.com/data-science? utm_source=AV&utm_medium=Display&utm_campaign=

Institute of Management aims to create business professionals who can use and understand analytics to make data based decisions. In a nutshell, the learning outcome as established by the faculty and curriculum, is the ability to look at unstructured data problems, solve them using appropriate analytical techniques and tools and link them to business actionable and tangibles.

POPULAR POSTS



Audience of the class: The typical audience of the course has 3-12 years of work experience, with average work experience of little over 9 years. About 20% of the class has experience more than 10 years highest being 25 years. The class has a fair mix of people from various backgrounds – IT, Management Consulting, Entrepreneurs etc.

Structure of the program: The program is run in a different manner in both the locations – Gurgaon and Chennai. Gurgaon offers it as a weekend program and caters to mostly people from Delhi NCR. Chennai, on the other hand, runs a 5 day residency program every alternate month – which allows it to cater to the people outside Chennai (e.g. Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and other cities). All the lectures get recorded, so that the students who are not able to attend the classes have an option to watch them later. Coming to the program, the program teaches you various concepts a manager needs in their roles for the first 4 months – Customer Relationship Management, Finance, Marketing, etc. Post this phase, the course starts introducing statistical concepts and business analytics concepts and inculcates structured thinking through several assignments and exercises. Most of the participants I talked to mentioned that the workload is significant, especially because they already have work commitments outside of this course. When I discussed this with the faculty, they said that the program is designed to be rigorous.

Both the directors were brimming with knowledge about analytics, have worked hands-on on several statistical tools like R and SAS themselves. I enjoyed my discussions with both of them and I hope to meet Prof. Viswanathan face to face some time soon.

RECENT POSTS Industry interaction and the Capstone project: One of the things, I was impressed was that during the course, participants spend 40% of their time interacting with the people from Analytics Industry. Experts from industry are not only involved as guest faculty, but they also teach courses in the Industry Application module, which happens in the last 3 months of the program. Industry experts from leading analytics companies train the candidates in Marketing analytics, Retail analytics, Insurance analytics, Financial analytics and Web & Social media analytics. In addition to teaching, they also play an active role in setting up the course, designing the curriculum, evaluating the examinations and finally mentoring the students with Capstone project. During the capstone project, the participants are mentored by industry experts and Great Lakes faculty. While some candidates pursue the project with their existing employers, for others the projects are

provided by Great Lakes (https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2018/02/timeseries-forecasting-methods/)

Online content partner: One of the distinguishing factors for this course is the partnership with Jigsaw Academy and that comes across when you talk to the participants. The association adds value and complements the business focussed lectures with technical content.

Suitability / Fit of the program: Since most of the questions, I receive are around the fit of analytics programs with career of people, I thought I should include a brief note on this: Profile 1 – People from premier / Tier I education institutes (Quant background): People from this background can use this course for making a switch into analytics and analytics consultancies. If you are from this background and want to become a hands on data-scientist or an analyst, be prepared to take a few more self-learning courses apart from what Great Lakes has to offer. You should use Great Lakes to get exposure to live problems and interaction with industry people. Profile 2 – People with 5 – 10 years of experience from BI / Consulting / IT / Software domains: I think this is the best fit group for this course. These people can make the transition into the analytics parallels in their Organizations during / after the course. Again, you should plan for a steady transition – for example, if your experience has been in Sales of software solutions – it makes sense to transition into Sales of analytics solutions and then move into business roles or consultancy roles.

I was in a strategy consulting role before joining this Program at Great Lakes and wanted to add ability to include analytics offerings to my clients so that I can offer them a holistic solution. This course from Great Lakes has enabled me to make this shift and I can now provide better solutions to my clients. -Yash Rai, Manager, The Smart Cube

Profile 3 – People with 10+ years of experience from any domain: This group should consider this course as a skill augmentation course rather than a path to break into analytics career. A couple of entrepreneurs / Senior management I talked to (who belonged to this profile) were very satisfied with the course and the way it was helping them in achieving their goals.

I have been selling IT solutions to various clients for 15 years now. We want to include analytics in our product and in order to do so, I had to develop a deeper understanding of various analytical techniques. Great Lakes has fulfilled its promise to enrich me with this knowledge and we are now including analytics in our product offering. – Ashok Kolliakal, Entrepreneur with 15+ years of experience

If you are of some other profile, use the guidelines above to find how this course would fit with you. If you still need guidance, feel free to drop your queries through comments below.

Overall Verdict: I enjoyed my day interacting with the students, faculty and Directors of the program. The zeal to create one of the best analytics program for working professionals in India comes across in the entire team. What I liked was the clarity and alignment of vision in the Great lakes team, the arrangements to provide access to material outside the class and the intensive industry interaction. The focus of the course is to enable its participants with structured thinking and tools to help them make data driven decisions in their day to day business roles and challenges. I can happily recommend the course to the profiles mentioned above.

What this course is not? This course is not meant to make you a technical person in analytics industry or a statistician. The aim of

GET CONNECTED

the program is to inculcate structured thinking in its participants provide analytics as a tool set in their repository. It does not aim to make you an analyst who applies cutting edge algorithms himself, but equips you to understand which algorithm should be applied to which business situation. The program (like other programs currently offered by various institutes in India), does not offer placements. However, the program does provide career enhancement support in terms of resume workshops, interview preparation and access to opportunities. In my discussions with the Prof Bappaditya, he mentioned about how there are examples of candidates have transitioned into analytics roles within

Hi Abhinav, As Dinesh has already mentioned, this is a ertificate programme. Both the locations (Chennai / Gurgaon) follow different structure – Gurgaon runs over weekends and Chennal for 5 days every alternate month. Both the options would work for a working individual. Regards, Kunal

Hello Dinesh/Kunal, I have recently being shortlisted for this program, and during my conversation with prof. Vishwanathan, according to the AICTE terms it will be a Diploma program but as such they haven’t provided any specific nomenclature for this it and they call it only Post graduate program.

Hi Kuala, I’m a BCA grad with 2+ years of experience in Quality Assurance for back end retail banking for Barclays. I’m interested in doing a PG course in Business Analytics in India which is more classroom and hands on orientedTheThe university must have great quality in terms of faculty and the course must start out with teaching the basics before going into the advanced concepts. I would also stress on coverage of big data, sas, R, Hadoop, and Tableau. Could you please suggest some reputed universities or colleges offering such courses? Preferably over 1-2yrs…

You need to help me understand – what do you mean by “gain and grow in analytics direction”? Do you want to become a data scientist or you don’t want hands on role, but roles likes Sales of Analytics solution. Or do you mean you want to be able to apply analytics in your current role itself?

Hi Kunal, I’m big fan of your articles. Thanks for your guidance and sharing knowledge. Based on my current experience, I have shortlisted for PGP-BA program in Great Lakes, Chennai. I have three questions, 1.) Is the certificate provided by Great Lakes Management is of Industry Standards(i.e, Apart from our skills , will the companies consider this certification as a shortlisting criteria for both interview and selection offer)?? 2.) Will this company help us to find analytic roles in offline mode(i.e, guidance after course completion) 3.) I have 2.8 years of experience in leading IT firm, and I just want to know under which profile I fall into(from the above three profile you mentioned)??? Thanks in Advance!!!!

Hi Kumar, I have been selected for the Chennai December batch. I had applied on last Saturday (22nd Nov ’14), which was the deadline. I had an interview call on this Wednesday (26th Nov) which went fairly well, with questions being on my current job role and tools used, total experience and how I would benefit from the program (sorry, don’t remember 1-2 other questions asked). My only question to the interviewer was when I would be notified in case I get through, for which he replied 1-2 days – as admissions were closed and only candidates with relevant work experience were still being considered, so I had a fair chance of going through. True to his word, I got a mail for admission offer on the afternoon of the next day! Now I have to confirm to GL by Sunday if I am accepting the offer, and make the payment of 56,180 before next Tuesday. Hope this helps.

Hi Kunal, Thanks for sharing information on this course. I had one query regarding certificate. As this course is called Post Graduate Program so can we call ourselves an MBA after taking this course. Thanks and Regards Nitika Mangla

Shiva, Here are answers to your questions: 1. You should start putting in efforts on the subject and technical knowledge straight away. The more you cover on technical and statistical knowledge before the course ends, the better it would be for you. 2. Salary for freshers in industry varies from 5 L to 12 L, depending on education background and role. You might need to start flat to cover up for some “unlearning” in coming days 3. Very likely. You might get lucky to get an Ops analyst kind of role. 4 & 5. What kind of jobs are you looking for? Regards, Kunal

Hi All, need you opinions and advice. I have been selected for the Business Analytics program at Great Lakes, and am unable to decide if I should consider it, or wait and try for the ISB program. I have close to 4 years experience in MIS Reporting, and recently moved to analytics in a new organization, where I am working on analysis using Tableau and learning on the job, as I have no prior analytics experience. GL or ISB, which would be a better fit for me, your thoughts please? Your responses would greatly influence my decision, as I have to confirm to GL before the day after tomorrow!

Hello, ISB is a better option, if you are willing to travel on alternate months to ISB for class in addition to the hefty fees they are charging.Also, they will not provide any placement assistance(like other institutions), so if you are willing to travel this much along with your current job then go for ISB else GL is also fine.

Hi Slacker89, Thanks much for the advice. Thing is, I am currently based out of Bangalore, so I will need to travel to Chennai for GL, same as going to Hyderabad for ISB, but a little less travel. And both of them seem to have the same class structure – 5 classes (including a weekend) every alternate month – thus adding to my confusion. Also, I am not looking for a job shift now or after the completion of the course, but want to do the course as it would help me on my current job, so that isn’t much of a deal-breaker. Right now, I think that if I am doing GL for 4L, I might as well consider ISB for 6L. It’s being a little cocky though, as I will have to wait to apply for ISB and clear the online test and interview (which I am not sure I will get through). Classic bird in hand vs bush scenario

Well!! Your scenario is quite different from mine :). Considering the above scenario, If I would have been at your place then I would definitely give a try for ISB(for the better BRAND name it has), but if your motto is use this course in your current profile only(negating the so called placement thing) then you can opt for GL also, considering it has good and rigorous course structure(somewhat similar to that of ISB). Whether, you go for ISB or GL, if you are Diligent to learn something, you will definitely be benefited from either of these courses. Rest you should ask for others for advise as well .

Thanks Slacker89 for the help here. Giving back to the community already Dear ConfusedAnalyst, Here is what I would recommend – you should go ahead with Great Lakes as you have already got the admission. ISB on the other hand, might not give you a chance with 4 years of MIS experience (until you decide to apply after a year). Also, there is a cost difference associated. The biggest difference in the 2 courses is the SAS module which ISB runs and the brand name of ISB. You can cover the SAS module yourself, if need be and since you are you not looking for a job through the programme, the brand name wouldn’t matter as much. Hope this helps. Regards, Kunal

Hello Deepti, After reading your comment here, one thing I would like to advice here is not to look for starting salaries from any program, if you want to do something just do it for the sake of learning . Regarding the GLIMS PGPBA program, it’s quite rigorous if you are working professional, you may have to devote 3-4 hours every alternate day(or every day since you are not from this background). The future prospects are bright as analytics is a booming industry, so if you learn well then you will definitely get something good to do and consequently money will also follow. Thanks!! Slacker

Thanks Slacker. I am planning to join gurgaon campus whcih is Weekends programme. Would that be hectic too ? Infact i have my interview today for the current June batch. I am little skeptical about the future prospects of the course. I do not have analytics prior experience so it would be like complete switch. This is the reason I mentioned salary package. Broadly, my concern is if i will get to enter Analytics industry just with this course ( assuming i did it well ) ?

Hi Confused Analyst, Have you enrolled yourself with Great lakes. Can you please share experience with Classroom/Campus learning and the current students ( Do they all have an analytics and IT background) I am working in Retail sector with 7 years of experience at various management roles, and keen on learning skills to make a career in Retail Analytics. I dont have a background in Analytics. Are people with no prior analytics and IT background considered for selection. I can see people asking questions on this platform have some experience in IT or with some analytical tools , so I am confused whether I would be a suitable candidate for this course or not.

Dear Kunal, First of all, let me appreciate your effort in tirelessly replying the questions/inquiries people have been asking from last 5-6 months. What an effort! Now, to introduce myself, I am working in an MNC as business analyst. I have over all work experience of 6 years of which 3 years were in work force management/capacity planning which involved a lot of strategical decision making and 1.5 years in MIS, report building etc. Remaining year were in different set of fields. Currently, I have been working on applications like SAP Business Object, MS Excel, VB (Learning) for building reports and I wish to accelerate my carrier into the field of business analytics as I love this field and have lot of interest in doing analysis. I am not sure, whether I should wait a little and gain more experience in my current role or should I jump in to enroll myself into GL BA program? I don’t want to reach to a point where the knowledge sharing becomes an alien stuff to me in the program. I hope you have understood where am I coming from? and I would really appreciate if you can advise me on the same. Sincerely, Ashish

Hi Keerthan, I would suggest to pursue PGPBA program from Great Lakes. It’s one of the Top Analytics Program in India. This course is for the working professionals possess a minimum experience of two years and a keen interest in analytical problem solving are the only prerequisites for applying to the Program. You can look at “Top 5 Analytics Programs in India (2014 – 15) (http://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2014/12/top-analytics-programs-india-20142015/)” for details.

Hi I got a mail from GL admissions dept on shortlisting of my profile for the interview round. I have a total of 8 yrs of experience in automotive industry . I am a six sigma black belt from IQF. Upon searching for a change in career to market research one of my friend advised me to take up BA . I applied for the same at GL and now shortlisted. My query is : incase im selected and I complete my course successfully, will there be placement assistance? If so , will I be at the entry level ? Pls help.

Sundar, First and foremost, I would say that career change is something which you should do on your passion and reasons, rather than friend’s advice. That way, you at least own the decision. No mid-career transition is easy, so don’t expect a cake walk – with or with out this course. Now coming to this course, it does not provide placement support – none of the part time courses in India do. But, I know of a few people, who have been able to make transitions through this course. Typically, the roles would be entry level – but that may or may not mean salary cut. Hope this helps. Kunal

Hi Kunal, Am an ardent follower of your posts. They are both enlightening and informative. I have 15 yrs workexp in BFSI, spanning roles in sales, product mgmt, distribution. More recently I have taken over a new role of leading the BI, Analytics teams. Since I am strong on the domain front, I wanted to familiarise myself better on the approach to various tools, techniques for solving biz problems. With this thought, I set out to assess the long term courses being offered on Analytics programs. Request your guidance on the certification programs namely GL Gurgaon, IIM B. Also any suggestions on how to overcome the ‘mindset block’ on aversion to coding/programming..

I will also take this opportunity and bug you a little more. I have about 10 yeas experience in Actuarial Industry(Not a full Actuay) but couldn’t get an Interesting profile so far and thought of upgrading myself so that i can utilise Analytics /Stats/Tool to apply for Insurance analytics or may be some other industry. Concern in my mind is whether it is worth investing time, Money and at the end not able to service liabilities (Read Home Loans, Livelihood) from the job that i expect to get after the course. I mean, I understand things cant change so much in a year and help me earn about 20 lakhs to be in same position with this recently acquired skill. However, I am still really interested to do this course may be on my own ( Sounds unrealistic), Do you think , it is possible to get some guidance from kind fellows like you and do self study, Which mean not taking too much risk of financial failure (read -not able to win at least current compensation to service financial liabilities after new job from acquired skill set) It will be really great if you can suggest / refer material that one can use to acquire mentioned syllabus of this course. I understand, I am being too demanding with such requests but thought of trying and see what you have to say…….Thanks A Lot once again for putting so much attention / focus for this social cause…Looking forward to hear from you…..Sam

Hi Kunal! I have been following lots of articles regarding Analytics on this website recently and found them extremely helpful in taking decision of entering the Analytical field or chosing the best institute. I myself is in a big dilemma whether to go for this change(Analytics career) after devoting my 13 yrs in Sales & Marketing as a Corporate support team member. I have inclination towards analytics and have zeroed on IIM-L’s CPBAE as the best suited for me but still apprehensive about the opportunities I will have post that. I am from a non technical background and am currently working as a Business Analyst with a telecom company. I am earning pretty well (17L+) and want to know my earning capabilities post this program. Seek your guidance. Thanks.

Hi Kunal, Thanks a lot for this good work from all of us Confused folks. I have a offer letter for BA course from Great Lakes. I am working in a MNC in gurgoan with overall exp of 6 years in IT (Programming).and currently earning around 12L. My Question from you is after doing this course and spending ample amount of time and money. How much salary i shall expect. Will it make a good impact of my salary apart from the knowledge?

Hi Kunal, I congratulate you on your effort in this forum. The scenario with me is completely different from other folks out here. Iam a commerce graduate with 6 years experience in financial BPOs’. I had to resign from my career and take up my family-led-business under certain critical circumstances. I have a gap in my professional career for 7 years now. I can say that Iam starting my career all over again. Hence, I believe that it also gives me a leverage to choose a field I want to pursue my career in. Now based on the said situation, I would like to seek your opinion on few aspects: 1) Is career in analytics an option for me ? ( I do understand that Iam a novice and the amount of effort and dedication that is required to seek the skills. Since, I have time at my disposal I think I can do justice to what I take up) 2) Is there any age criteria that the industry prefers to offer a job in this field? 3) If your answer is a ‘YES’ to my 1st question, then should it be GL or should I look at certification programs from JIGSAW academy at Bangalore? 4) If yes, then what’s the entry pay package that I can expect? I would sincerely appreciate your time and effort, if you could clarify these question of mine. Thank u! Thiru.,

Great info Kunal! I always have a keen interest towards Data. I have 6+ years of experience and currently working as a social media lead (3 years) and prior to this i was working as a market research analyst (secondary) and learning digital (complete cycle starting from SEO) out of my own interest.

Hi Kunal, Sorry but the review you shared above is way too generic. For a professional who is willing to invest 3-4 lakh on a course would want nitty-gritty and exact course content broken down. Which the above review does not provide- though it’s just my opinion. The same would be available on the website of the Colleges/Institutions but was looking forward to read the same in your article. Its so repulsive to see so many institutions offering courses on Analytics & Statistics though hardly i have come across any which share real world case studies and ask the apprentice to build algorithm and draw meaningful instances from the business case. I know one of my known Sr. Manager who is currently undergoing ISB Analytics course and that is also very generic course with some basic know how on regression and some of the Analytical tools. As a business lead and an expert i believe i need to have end to end expertise of solution i am accommodating for the clientele and if even after spending 0.4 million i am unsure of the same then its worthless. I hope you agree with me and in case there are some institutions in India which offer in depth Analytical learning please advice. Thanks, Shivi

Dear Kunal, I have an experience of 8 years in HR generalist role & as far my qualifications are concerned i have done BTech/PGDM(HR) along with few certifications in HR. These days I am working on some project in HR analytics for my organisation. So, i am really worried to know whether this course provide any advantage to shift my career from coreHR to Strategic HR business Partner.

Respect Mr. Kunal, I would like to salute you for this Self-less complementary Social Service being provided and guidance given to the needed and confused persons for their future and openly inviting queries at times when none else extends helping hand to others, rather people feel jealous of others progression. I am adding to your burden one more query of my selfish purpose. Whether GL’s’ PGPBA or any other program of GL or any other Institute would be better for a bright career for my son whose particulars are as under : – Am BBA from Panjab University with PGD in Financial Planning from ICoFP New Delhi and PGD in Banking Operation from IFBI. – 3 Years experience in Banking Operations as Sr.Officer with ICICI Bank.Package 2.7 Lacs PA – Currently working with PayU Money Pvt. Ltd. at Gurgaon with annual package of 2.8 Lacs. During discussions, I could know about his willingness & interest in this line. Regards Beant Singh

Hi Prakhar, Have you enrolled yourself with Great lakes. Can you please share experience with Classroom/Campus learning and the current students ( Do they all have an analytics and IT background) I am working in Retail sector with 7 years of experience at various management roles, and keen on learning skills to make a career in Retail Analytics. I dont have a background in Analytics. Are people with no prior analytics and IT background considered for selection. I can see people asking questions on this platform have some experience in IT or with some analytical tools , so I am confused whether I would be a suitable candidate for this course or not. Any responses would be highly appreciated. Thanks Regards Shubhra
