Next intake: Academic Year 2027A one-year route into the data side of sport, awarded by Mind Power University, Bhimtal and taught at the Sportal IMPACT campus. Open after Class 12 in any stream, first intake Academic Year 2027.
Analytics is the part of Indian sport that has grown fastest and hires most consistently — franchises, broadcasters and academies all now employ people to read performance data. A diploma is the quick way in; it is not a degree, which matters if a bachelor’s qualification is on your horizon.

What the Field Is Working On Right Now
The formal syllabus is set with the university and we will publish it here when it is final. These are the themes the work itself is dealing with in 2027 — worth knowing whichever programme you choose.
- Safe sport and dataAthlete data is personal data. Who sees a player’s injury history, wellness scores or GPS load, how long it is kept, and what consent a minor can give are live questions in Indian sport, not theoretical ones.
- Wearables and load monitoringGPS vests, heart-rate and sleep data are now routine at academy level. The hard part is not collecting it — it is deciding what to tell a coach on a Tuesday morning.
- Video and performance analysisTagging, clipping and opposition analysis remain the most commonly advertised entry-level job in Indian sport.
- Injury risk and workloadUsing training-load data to reduce soft-tissue injury, and being honest about how weak the evidence still is.
- AI in performance analysisAutomated tracking and event detection are changing what one analyst can cover — and what an analyst is for.
- Fan, ticketing and commercial dataThe side of analytics that pays best and gets discussed least.
Nothing above is a module list. When the syllabus is finalised it will be published on this page in full, not sent on request.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there sports analytics courses in India?
A growing number, and most are short certificates run by private academies rather than university qualifications. This one is a one-year diploma awarded by Mind Power University, Bhimtal, which makes it a university qualification rather than a course certificate — worth checking on anything you compare it against.
What are sports analytics course fees in India?
They range from a few thousand rupees for a short online certificate to several lakh for a full degree, and many providers do not publish the figure at all. Ours is ₹60,000 for the year, exclusive of admission charges and residential costs, published here rather than given on request.
What degree do you need for sports analytics?
None, to start. Entry here is 10+2 in any stream. For the roles themselves, employers ask what you can actually do with data more than which degree you hold — though a bachelor’s matters if you later want a master’s or a job specification requires one.
What is the Diploma in Sports Analytics?
A one-year qualification in the data side of sport, awarded by Mind Power University, Bhimtal. It is open after 10+2 in any stream and costs ₹60,000 for the year.
Do I need maths or coding to start?
Not to be admitted — eligibility is 10+2 in any stream. You will meet statistics and tooling on the programme, and a comfort with numbers helps, but it is not an entry requirement. Ask us about your own background rather than assuming either way.
Is this the same as the B.Sc. in Sports Analytics?
No. The B.Sc. is a four-year degree and is launching soon rather than open. This diploma is one year and is open for the Academic Year 2027 intake. A diploma will not satisfy an employer or a university that requires a bachelor’s degree.
