This first-of-its-kind MBA, co-created by academic experts from
NU and senior professionals from the WNS Analytics practice,
combines comprehensive state-of-the-art academic content with
actual practice and work-experience at WNS. Over the two-year
duration of the program students will imbibe the best elements of
both university education and business practice.
The selection process will have three stringent layers. The
first part of the MBA program will take place at the Neemrana
Campus of NIIT University, followed by internship at WNS, under the
supervision of the NU faculty. The unique feature of this
collaboration is that graduating students will be placed in key
positions in the analytics practice. The program will draw upon
live case-studies and practitioner-experts from WNS to ensure the
right blend of academic concepts and industry application.
“WNS partners with over 200 clients across the globe, and sees
Analytics becoming increasingly important for sharper and smarter
decision-making. While we have a large Research & Analytics
practice of over 2,500 professionals, we are further looking to
build on the talent supply with a customized and specialized
intervention like this program. The chosen students will join the
WNS family skilled with a high-end program that will change the
course of their career for a lifetime,” said Keshav R. Murugesh,
Group CEO, WNS.
“In line with our core philosophy of offering industry-aligned
higher education at NU, we are pleased to join hands with WNS to
offer a cutting-edge MBA program in Business Analytics. Information
in today’s knowledge economy holds the key to success, and huge
amount of information that is being generated every minute makes
Big Data Analytics critical for a successful business model.
However we are faced with paucity of trained Business Analytics
professionals and this program will go a long way in addressing the
skill-gap faced by the industry,” said Rajendra S Pawar,
Chairman NIIT Group and Founder NU.
