Key Highlights
This is a four-month Data Analytics & Business Analysis course written for someone starting straight after 12th. It covers Python for data analytics, SQL, advanced Excel, Power BI, Tableau, business analysis and generative AI productivity for analysts — ending in one complete, portfolio-ready enterprise analytics solution. The whole job rather than one tool. Month 1 is programming and data analytics foundations: the analytics lifecycle from descriptive through prescriptive, Python setup with VS Code and Git, and the AI productivity tools you will use throughout. Then advanced Excel for analysts with data cleaning, pivot tables and charts, XLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, Power Query basics and interactive dashboard design; SQL fundamentals covering database concepts, keys, SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, aggregate functions and basic joins; and Python fundamentals alongside business statistics. Month 2 is advanced SQL, data manipulation and visualisation — joins, CTEs, subqueries, window functions, views, query optimisation and enterprise reporting; data wrangling with NumPy and Pandas; exploratory data analysis with Matplotlib, Seaborn and Plotly; then REST APIs, JSON, BeautifulSoup web scraping and Streamlit for building interactive analytics apps. Month 3 is business intelligence and modern data platforms: Power BI Desktop with Power Query transformation, star and snowflake schemas and fact and dimension tables; advanced DAX with time intelligence, running totals and executive KPI cards; Tableau with calculated fields, parameters, interactive dashboards and map visuals; and modern data platforms covering data warehouse versus data lake, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, ETL and ELT concepts and dbt basics. Month 4 closes the course with business analysis and requirements engineering, Agile methodologies and project management, generative AI and productivity automation, then the professional portfolio and industry capstone — an end-to-end enterprise analytics solution covering requirement gathering as a BRD, SQL database querying, Python EDA, Power BI dashboards and AI-assisted executive presentations, with GitHub documentation, an ATS resume, LinkedIn optimisation and mock interviews.
Every module ends in something you have built and a trainer has reviewed, so the list below is work you will have done rather than topics you will have heard about.
cleaning, pivots, XLOOKUP and Power Query
The syllabus is arranged so every module produces an asset rather than a set of notes. You will cover month 1 — programming & data analytics foundations, month 2 — advanced sql, data manipulation & visualization, month 3 — business intelligence & modern data platforms, month 4 — business analysis, ai automation & capstone, and finish with a live project built on Python (NumPy & Pandas), Microsoft Excel & Power Query, MySQL & PostgreSQL. Modules run in the order a real project runs: foundations first, then the core skills, then applied work under supervision, then the portfolio and interview preparation that turn all of it into an offer letter.
The working knowledge the job description actually lists.
Month 2 — Advanced SQL, Data Manipulation & Visualization
SQL to enterprise depth, then the Python data stack and the charts that show what is there.

Topics covered
The toolchain
Everything below is installed on the lab machines and used on live client work, not shown once in a slide and forgotten.
Any stream. The course starts with the analytics lifecycle and setting up your tools, then moves to Excel, which most students have seen before. Python arrives once you know what you are automating.
This is the closest technical track to a commerce background. Finance, sales and HR reporting run through every month, and the business analysis half is written in the language of requirements and process rather than of algorithms.
Four months fits a long vacation or the gap between school and college, and you finish it with an enterprise capstone on GitHub rather than an unfinished playlist.
MIS Executive and Reporting Analyst are the roles local firms hire for most often, and they are decided on Excel, SQL and Power BI — all three covered to enterprise depth here.
Weekend batches exist for people already working. Owners take this to stop guessing at their own numbers; switchers take it because analytics is the widest office-side entry point into IT work in Punjab.
If tutorials left you able to follow along but not to start from a blank file, what changes here is a trainer reviewing your work each week and a capstone with a deadline attached.
MIS Executive and Reporting Analyst are the roles firms in this region hire for most often, and they are decided on Excel, SQL and Power BI — all three covered here to enterprise depth rather than as an introduction. That gap is the whole argument for this course: there is local demand, there are budgets, and there are very few trained people to hand the work to.

Build skills that hold up beyond the classroom.
What separates this from a playlist of tutorials is supervision on real work. From the second half of the course you build on live client projects with a trainer beside you, make decisions that have consequences, and correct them the following week. That loop is the skill. No employer in Phagwara will take your word for it without work they can inspect.
Be realistic about the money. A fresher who finishes with a working portfolio starts near the bottom of the band and moves quickly; someone who finishes with a certificate and nothing to show does not. The difference is entirely what you built.
The alternative is what most people try first: free videos, a cheap online course, six months of drifting, and knowledge you cannot demonstrate. A structured programme with live projects, a mentor who corrects you, an internship letter and a placement cell that actually calls employers is the difference between knowing the subject and being hired to do it.
Students reach the Phagwara centre from Banga, Nakodar, Kartarpur and the university belt, and the weekend batch exists so a job or a degree does not have to be paused to attend.
Python fundamentals, Pandas, NumPy and automation built for modern data analysis — variables, loops, functions, OOP basics and exception handling, then real data wrangling.
Enterprise querying with joins, CTEs, subqueries, window functions, views and query optimisation, plus Power Query, DAX and complex formulas.
Interactive dashboard building and storytelling in Power BI and Tableau — star and snowflake schemas, DAX time intelligence, KPI cards, map visuals and parameters.
Requirement gathering, BRD and FRD creation, SRS documentation, Agile and Scrum, user stories, acceptance criteria, sprint planning, Jira and Confluence.
Data warehousing fundamentals, Microsoft Fabric, a Snowflake overview, ETL and ELT workflows, dbt basics and API integration.
Prompt engineering with ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot and Gemini for automated reporting — then one complete, portfolio-ready enterprise analytics solution.

Complete the course with a portfolio of live projects and receive an industry-recognised certificate, plus a documented internship letter accepted by Punjab universities.
Recognised by employers across Punjab and beyond
Based on real client work, not a simulation
Live work you can show in any interview
CV review, mock interviews and hiring drives
Two certificates on completion — the course certificate and a separate capstone project certificate.
The roles this opens, what they pay in Punjab and beyond, and who is hiring for them — drawn from published job-market listings, not a brochure number.
Answer business questions with data and report the answer clearly. The core target role of the programme.
Straight after 12th these are usually the first step, and they are decided on Excel, SQL and Power BI — the three things month one to three cover to depth.
Opens once you have shipped requirements work. Month four’s BRD, FRD and Agile material is what makes this title reachable.
Build the data models and dashboards a management team runs on, in Power BI or Tableau.
A newer title — an analyst who uses generative AI for SQL generation, automated reporting and executive summaries, which month four covers directly.
Salary outlook — Data Analyst
Turns collected data into decisions a business can act on. One of the broadest job markets available, because almost every industry now needs someone doing it.
Indicative ranges compiled from public job-market listings. Actual offers vary by employer, skillset and interview performance.
Month one’s build: cleaned data, pivot tables and charts, XLOOKUP and Power Query producing a dashboard a manager can actually use.
A reporting set built with joins, CTEs, subqueries, window functions and views, then optimised for query performance.
A messy dataset taken from raw to conclusions — cleaning decisions documented, outliers justified, trends visualised.
A Streamlit application pulling live data from REST APIs and a scraper, letting a user explore it themselves.
A star-schema model with advanced DAX time intelligence and executive KPI cards in Power BI, plus a Tableau story with parameters and map visuals.
The full solution: requirement gathering as a BRD, SQL database querying, Python EDA, Power BI dashboards and an AI-assisted executive presentation, documented on GitHub. This is the one interviewers ask about.
Every project moves through the same loop: understand the brief, build with guidance, then explain the decisions behind your work.
Take a real requirement apart before touching a tool — what is being asked, what it needs, and which part to build first.
Interactive Excel Dashboard
Work hands-on with your trainer watching the screen, so a wrong turn is caught in the same session rather than three weeks later.
Enterprise SQL Reporting
Walk through what you built and why you built it that way. This is the interview rehearsal, run against every project rather than once at the end.
EDA & Business Trend Analysis
There are many places to learn this in Phagwara and the brochure syllabus looks similar at all of them. What differs is who teaches, whether you ever touch real work, and whether anyone picks up the phone after you have paid. techcadd has trained students across Punjab since 2007 on the same model: small batches, working practitioners as trainers, client projects as coursework.
Your trainer is not a full-time lecturer. They deliver reporting and analytics work for techcadd’s services arm, so the dashboards in class come from real business questions rather than a sample dataset.
The course starts at the analytics lifecycle and tool setup. Excel comes before SQL, SQL before Python, and nothing is skipped on the assumption you will pick it up later.
Month four carries requirement gathering, BRD and FRD writing and Agile in Jira — the half of the job most fast-track analytics courses leave out entirely.
Power BI with Power Query, data modelling and advanced DAX, and Tableau with parameters, maps and storytelling. Employers ask for one or the other; you arrive knowing both.
We will tell you plainly whether the four-month or the six-month track fits your goal. A student sold the wrong length is a student who does not finish.
ATS resume building, GitHub documentation, LinkedIn optimisation and mock interviews, then repeated drives with hiring partners across Phagwara, Jalandhar and Ludhiana.
Find answers to the questions students ask before enrolling.
Four months: Month 1 covers programming and data analytics foundations, Month 2 is advanced SQL, data manipulation and visualisation, Month 3 is business intelligence and modern data platforms, and Month 4 is business analysis, AI productivity and the capstone. Weekday, evening and weekend batches cover the same syllabus, and 1-on-1 training is available. Every class runs for 2 hours.
