About PGDBA

The Post Graduate Diploma in Business Analytics (PGDBA), often known as PGDBA IIM Calcutta, is a collaborative program offered by IIM Calcutta, IIT Kharagpur, and ISI. It aims to advance the evolving field of business analytics by providing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary education to graduates who aspire to pursue a career in this domain.

This full-time, two-year residential program is designed to develop skilled business analytics professionals for top companies in India and abroad. It is ideal for individuals with a strong analytical mindset, a passion for solving complex business problems, and a solid foundation in mathematics.

The PGDBA exam is the initial step toward gaining admission to the PGDBA program. This computer-based test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) that must be completed within a 3-hour time limit. The exam is divided into four sections: Verbal Ability, Logical Reasoning, Data Interpretation & Visualization, and Quantitative Aptitude.

PGDBA Eligibility

Educational Background:

  • You must have a Bachelor's degree (B.Tech., B.E., M.Sc., M.Com. or equivalent) with at least 60% marks or a CGPA of 6.5 on a 10-point scale. One-year MBA programs are not considered equivalent.
  • OR you can have a Diploma in Engineering (10 + 3 years) followed by a lateral entry into B.E./B.Tech. (3 years) with a minimum 60% marks or a CGPA of 6.5 on a 10-point scale in your final degree (B.Tech./B.E.).

PGDBA 2025 Exam Analysis

The PGDBA 2024 exam has set a new benchmark for simplicity, earning the title of the easiest paper since the program's inception. With several interesting trends emerging from this year's exam, here's a detailed breakdown:

Applications Surge: This year witnessed 2,400 applications, marking a significant increase from the 1,700 applicants in PGDBA 2023. The rising interest highlights the growing recognition of the program's value.

Here is the section-wise analysis.

What to Expect in PGDBA 2026?

The difficulty level of PGDBA 2026 is anticipated to be moderate to challenging. The PGDBA 2024 exam was relatively easy, which made it harder to distinguish candidates with strong maths skills, a crucial factor in the final selection process. A similar situation occurred in 2020.

On the other hand, a highly difficult paper like PGDBA 2023 could deter potential candidates. Therefore, the 2025 exam is likely to resemble the difficulty levels of PGDBA 2022 or PGDBA 2021, striking a balance between accessibility and rigor.
