New Delhi: BPM services major WNS has partnered with NIIT University (NU) for offering a two-year specialised work-integrated MBA course in Business Analytics.
The first part of the course will take place at the Neemrana Campus of NIIT University, followed by internship at WNS, under the supervision of the NU faculty. "There is a huge demand and growth opportunity for analytics. While we have a large research and analytics practice of over 2,500 professionals, we are further looking to build on the talent supply," said WNS Group CEO Keshav Murugesh. He added that two batches of 60 students each will be inducted every year.
The first batch will commence from June 2016. Eligibility criteria includes graduates with Mathematics as one of the subjects, followed by at least two years of work experience. "These people coming in are professionals who are taking time off their work to get trained.
WNS will bear the cost of training and also provide a stipend, which comes to about Rs 15 lakh per student. Also, when these people join us, they can get starting salaries of Rs 15 lakh," he said. Murugesh said the graduating students will be placed in key positions in the analytics practice of WNS.
"The programme will draw upon live case-studies and practitioner-experts from WNS to ensure the right blend of academic concepts and industry application," NIIT Group Chairman and NU founder Rajendra S Pawar said. He added that the introduction of the new course is in line with its philosophy of offering industry-aligned higher education.
