Share

IIM-Sambalpur has launched its first-ever MBA programme in Business Analytics, which is designed specifically for STEM graduates. This new course, launched at the institute’s Delhi campus, will prepare students for the rapidly evolving, data-driven business landscape by equipping them with interdisciplinary skills.
This MBA program provides comprehensive education in business analytics, but the program also offers a unique opportunity for students to earn a dual degree. The program is designed to take in students who are STEM graduates with relevant work experience, thereby integrating their technical expertise with advanced management principles. The graduates, upon completion, will not only have a specialisation in business analytics but also have a global edge in the job market.
The program will follow the STEM education framework while being STEM-integrated with core business management principles. This strategically integrates the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics disciplines with core business management principles in a step to handle some increases in the demand for those professionals who are able to bridge the technical and business capabilities.
International exposure is one of the biggest attractions of this programme. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, students would be able to participate in an education experience with a global orientation. The dual-degree programme has been designed so that the flagship MBA curriculum of IIM-Sambalpur is merged with the strength of AIT in analytics for a unique interdisciplinary approach to education.
Students will spend their first year at IIM-Sambalpur’s Delhi campus, where they will gain foundational knowledge and skills in business analytics. In the second year, they can travel to AIT in Thailand to complete their studies. International exposure not only broadens their academic perspectives but also prepares them for a global career in the field of analytics and management.
The graduates of the program will also enjoy a year-long work visa in Thailand, which increases their chances of finding employment in the region. This provision reflects the commitment of the program to not just academic excellence but also to practical career opportunities, making it a significant step toward bridging academia and industry.
The eligibility criteria for the program ensure that it attracts the right talent. Candidates must have an eligible CAT percentile, a strong academic background in STEM disciplines, and at least one year of relevant work experience. This ensures that the cohort consists of individuals with a blend of analytical and professional skills, fostering a rich learning environment.
It marks a landmark step for IIM-Sambalpur towards globally competent professionals by offering curriculum integration of analytics, management, and international exposure that the institute will redefine business education for the needs of a data-driven world.
This dual-degree MBA programme offered by IIM-Sambalpur is not just a course but an opportunity to be at the forefront of global business analytics. It equips students to tackle real-world challenges with technical expertise and managerial insights, making them invaluable assets in any organization.
This initiative underlines the institute’s commitment to innovation in education and its vision to produce professionals who can thrive in a competitive and interconnected global economy.
