Which of these are diplomas, not degrees?

2 of the 7 are PG Diplomas, not MBA degrees: IMT CDL. A PG Diploma is a recognised qualification and is often the cheapest way into the subject, but if a role or a further course requires a master's degree, confirm that a diploma is accepted before you enrol.

Are these Business Analytics & Data Science programmes UGC-DEB approved?

6 of the 6 universities here record UGC-DEB entitlement as Yes in their published data. Entitlement is what makes an online degree valid in India, so check the university's page — and the UGC's own list — before paying.

What do these universities report on placements?

Average placements, as each university publishes them: NMIMS: 25 LPA; Amity: ₹4–7 LPA; Symbiosis SSODL: ₹5–8 LPA; Parul: ₹4–6 LPA; IMT CDL: ₹8–12 LPA; LPU: ₹7–8 LPA. These are the universities' own figures and are not specific to the Business Analytics & Data Science specialization or to online cohorts.

How should you choose between them?

Fee is one input. Before you decide on price, check three things on each specialization's page: whether the university is UGC-DEB entitled, whether you graduate with a degree or a diploma, and the duration — a 1-year diploma and a 2-year MBA are not the same commitment. Then compare the fee breakdown, because the semester-wise, annual and one-time figures differ, and paying upfront is usually cheaper.

If two options are close, a free counsellor can walk you through the trade-offs in 15 minutes — we do not earn from your enrolment.
