Symbiosis Institute of Geoinformatics Pune Certification Data Visualisation on Tableau and PowerBI: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The programme covers three major areas of data visualisation: Power BI (for business intelligence dashboards and reports), Tableau (for interactive and visual data exploration), and Python (using libraries such as Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly for programmatic data visualisation). The curriculum also includes a mini project on Applied Data Visualisation for real-world applications, ensuring that students get hands-on experience with actual datasets. This combination of tools makes the programme highly relevant for both business and technical roles in the data analytics space.

Ans. Yes, the programme is designed for both beginners and professionals. The official description states it is ideal for beginners aspiring to enter the field of data visualisation as well as professionals looking to enhance their data analysis capabilities. No prior programming experience is required, as the course starts from fundamentals. However, a basic comfort with computers and data (such as working with Excel or spreadsheets) would be helpful. The hands-on project component ensures that even beginners get practical exposure by the end of the 3-month programme.

Ans. Graduates of this certificate programme can pursue roles such as Data Analyst, Business Intelligence (BI) Analyst, Data Visualisation Specialist, Marketing Analyst, and Data Science Consultant across sectors including finance, healthcare, technology, e-commerce, and marketing. The certificate from SIG, which is part of Symbiosis International (Deemed University) and ranked globally in QS Rankings for data science, adds credibility to the qualification. However, for senior data science or data engineering roles, this certificate is best used as a stepping stone or as a supplementary qualification alongside a degree programme.

Ans. The admission process for the certificate course follows the same general structure as SIG's PG programmes: online registration, an MCQ-based entrance examination (Aptitude, Current Affairs, General Studies), and a Personal Interaction (PI). However, unlike the PG programmes which have fixed annual admission cycles with published dates, the certificate course admissions are conducted periodically, and batch dates are announced on the SIG website and communicated to registered candidates via email. The eligibility is also much lower (10+2 pass with 50%) compared to the PG programmes which require graduation. The application fee of Rs. 1,500 is the same as for PG programmes.

Ans. The official SIG page does not specify whether the programme is offered in online or offline mode. Given that SIG's entrance examination and PI are conducted online, and the programme is a short-term certificate course, it is advisable to contact SIG directly (via sig.ac.in or the admissions office) to confirm the mode of delivery for the current batch. Working professionals interested in this programme should enquire about weekend or evening batch options, if available, as the 3-month duration makes it feasible to pursue alongside employment.

Ans. Yes, the total programme fee is Rs. 25,000 for the entire 3-month certificate course, as stated on the official SIG website. In addition, there is a non-refundable application/registration fee of Rs. 1,500 payable at the time of registration. There are no hostel fees applicable for this short-term programme. Students should confirm with the SIG admissions office whether any additional charges (such as examination fees, study material fees, or certification fees) apply, as these are not explicitly mentioned on the official programme page.
