Thank you❤️

[@maheshkumar-fv9zn]

Very informative video please make more such videos

[@roronoazoro7184]

What other maths is needed except stats? I heard linear algebra and probability is included (I hate probab 😂)

[@SiddharthSwamynathan]

Hi Riya!! Thank you for this video. I had a couple questions: 1. Are the roles for which PGP-BA students sit in the placement, are at a managerial level, or is it technical in nature, say for example "Sr. Data Scientist" . 2. It would be nice if you could share a list of books that you use in the BA part of the program. I will be graduating from my Master's in Statistics in a few months, this CAT didn't go the way I expected, I do plan on giving another attempt of CAT this year, and the PGPBA course is something I feel I would enjoy compared to the flagship PGP program. Looking forward for more educational content!!

its techincal and many companies does not include these students. Moreover its very technical.

[@adityagupta7565]

Hi Riya di you are very consistent and serious with your KZbin channel and Instagram. Please don't mind but why did your channel is not growing well and views are also very low. I wish you will cross 100k subscribers this year😊😊 I think you should make vedios in hindi with English subtitles.

[@namrathakinnal3898]

I guess it's because her target audience is only iim aspirants n they are not in huge numbers.

[@m-bh2fb]

There is PGDBA of IIM Calcutta , ISI Kolkata and IIT Kharagpur is far better than IIMB . if you are inerested in business analytics , consider pgdba

[@user-uz1mh3qb7w]

can we get more information about executive MBA from IIM Bangalore

[@clement5877]

Did you read a lot from the paper behind

[@swarawaichal]

Ma'am, I'm a Chartered Accountant and I got call for both the programs. I gave consent to PGPBA also. By your video I inferred that this programme is more inclined to coding and mathematics. Since I have 0 knowledge about coding and also not much interested in it, wht shall I do now. Will the interviewers consider both the programs while conducting interviews? I'm more inclined towards finance.

[@siddjain2452]

Hey i am also a CA finalist..can you please share your profile and cat percentile? It would be a big help!

[@meeranahamed6809]

[@anonymous-ft6gq]

[@anonymous-ft6gq]

Because somewhere it is written that one needs to have minimum 4 years of work experience

[@arshabhdhir1640]

My question is that, if I do pgp ba course, then can I still get a placement in finance or marketing domain or not?

[@Diaaaaa_9]

Same

[@kinjalwani5529]

Super important question: my goal is to get into the product domain, such as product manager. Which includes marketing and product analytics. Will this course help me to achieve that?

[@vam109]

[@aruneshgupta631]

[@govindthakur7548]

[@IITBombay2025_]

As far as I know, only option for you is to get Top 10 rank in CAT. It will fetch you a call for interview and then it mostly depends on how your interview goes.
