IBS Kolkata to lay focus on data analytics

The ICFAI Business School (IBS) here would give special emphasis on data analytics in its curriculum for its post-graduate management programme syllabus having a duration of two years.
"Data analytics will become a big game changer in the coming years. Companies coming for recruitment in the campus are now looking for students equipped with skills to handle and analyse data," Director of IBS Kolkata Ajay Pathak said today.
"The inclusion of data analytics in the curriculum will give an edge over other private B-schools in the city," he told reporters here.
On placements, Pathak said that several renowned companies like Philips, ITC Hotels, TCS, HDFC Bank, JP Morgan Chase, among others had recruited from the school with an average CTC of Rs 5.56 lakh per annum.

The campus would shortly shift to its own building having a space of 25,000 sq feet located at Salt Lake Electronics Complex, he added.
