Reasons to join the course

• If you are interested in the Analytics domain then you should definitely go for it.
• You might be uncertain about the course’s worth because it’s relatively new. But its affiliation with IIM is what adds value to it apart from its excellent placement opportunities.
• If you are afraid that you will not be able to change domains in the future then you can relax. Its curriculum includes core MBA subjects from finance, marketing, operations, analytics, and HR along with fundamental concepts of analytics, in the first year.

Reason to not join the course

So apart from your disinterest in the subject, nothing is stopping you from pursuing MBA in Analytics.
