Department of Business Intelligence offers short term courses of one year Post Graduate Diploma Programmes. The target of the programmes is those persons who want to increase their employability or improve their professional skills but did not have the opportunity to do so earlier in a formal manner. The focus of the programmes will be to impart the required knowledge and skills. These programmes will be conducted during the evening hours so that employed persons or students pursuing other programmes can also join without affecting their normal pursuits. In other words, even Post Graduate students pursuing other full timeprogrammes can also join any of these programmes
