What our Alumni has to say!
Since the IPBA course has an online mode of training, it gives working professionals like me the flexibility to keep up the pace with the rest of the class. I am very happy with the teaching methodology and the course content covered.
For someone like me who isn't in India, I found the IPBA program very suitable because of the online LIVE classes. They are very rich in content and delivered by IIM Indore and Jigsaw Academy.
I'd like to thank Jigsaw Academy & IIM Indore for designing such a wonderful curriculum.
The IPBA Program is one of the best online courses with an in-person component. I really enjoyed the classes at the IIM Indore campus. It was a great experience to meet mentors and scholars from different places. In this course, you get the highest-quality materials taught by the experienced faculty of IIM.
he Integrated Program in Business Analytics course by Jigsaw Academy is an excellent course for budding Data Scientists who are completely novice like me in the world of data analytics. The program is a combination of IIM Indore on-campus sessions and weekend online classes. It provides an excellent platform for students to interact and network with faculty and peers from different fields with similar interests as well as develop a good understanding of the basics of data analytics.
I’m happy with the exhaustive course curriculum. From Statistics, SQL, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing to Big Data, Tableau, and more, all the topics are taught really well. The comprehensive course structure is well-defined, keeping the current industry needs in mind.
IPBA has made me feel that online live classes are no less than classroom sessions. All the concepts are taught in a step-by-step process, making it easier for professionals from various disciplines to understand them easily. I would recommend this program to everyone who is a data enthusiast.
By being in the IT industry for more than 6+ years, I realized that there is a crucial demand for customer-centric products and services. Business Analytics has helped me achieve the skills required to design & build customer-focused products. I can now develop applications, processes, reports, dashboards, etc., keeping in mind the end-users’ perspective & ultimately enriching the customer’s satisfaction & experience.
The Mini Capstone & Capstone Project helped me get hands-on knowledge & become more confident.
The online live classes with expert faculty from IIM Indore were seamless. I’d rate it a 10/10! Everything was taught in an outstanding manner with professional conduct. Classes, projects & assignments were properly scheduled. All the assignments were well-balanced & the Capstone Project helped me immensely in exponentially boosting my learning curve.
