GoMeasure Platform runs GoMeasure Campus — a talent network for final-year students and new graduates, where what you can do is measured from real work rather than claimed on a CV.
We’re looking for Data Analysts to join this network ahead of the placement cycle. Query, clean and interpret data, then present findings to people who will make a decision on them.
You’ll take one qualification test covering sql, interpretation, communication, build a verified profile, and go to the employers hiring into this track — typically ₹4–9 LPA at entry level.
Role summary
Query, clean and interpret data, then present findings to people who will make a decision on them.
What you will do
In the first six months
- Pull and clean data, which is most of the job and nobody warns you how much
- Answer questions people actually asked, rather than the one that was easiest to query
- Build recurring reports and then automate them so you stop rebuilding them
- Present a finding to someone who will make a decision on it
By twelve to eighteen months
- Own an area of reporting and the definitions underneath it
- Push back on a question that cannot be answered with the data that exists
- Turn a one-off analysis into something the business runs on
Required skills
SQLJoins, aggregation and window functions to working standard. Analytics employers expect this on arrival rather than as something you will pick up — it is the most common reason a candidate fails a technical round.
InterpretationKnowing what a number means and what it does not. Spotting that a metric moved because the definition changed rather than because the business did.
ExcelStill the most-used analysis tool in most Indian organisations. Underrated by students and assumed by employers.
CommunicationPresenting a finding to someone non-technical who has ten minutes and a decision to make. The skill that separates an analyst from a report generator.
Python or RIncreasingly expected for anything beyond spreadsheet scale, though not always screened at entry level.
Disposition & traits
Skills describe what someone can do when they try hardest. Disposition describes what they typically do — and over a first year, that second question predicts as much as the first. For this track the dispositions that matter most are:
- Conscientiousness
- Scepticism
- Explaining to non-experts
How to read these. Higher is not automatically better — a disposition that helps in one role works against another. These are not a pass mark, not trainable in the way a skill is, and never reported on their own.
What the hiring bar looks like
Compiled by GoMeasure from publicly available accounts, October 2026.
Analytics firms & consultanciesAn aptitude test that filters most applicants before anyone looks at your SQL, then a technical round on SQL and dashboard logic, then a project walkthrough and an HR round.
GCCs & in-house teamsSimilar structure with more weight on the business domain, and often a case-style scenario rather than pure query writing.
IT servicesStandard aptitude and coding assessment, with analytics allocation decided after joining rather than at hire.
Eligibility — who actually gets to apply
Open to engineering, statistics, mathematics, economics and commerce graduates — one of the broadest degree ranges in this catalogue. Two things to know: the first-round aptitude test eliminates the large majority of applicants, and many postings labelled 'fresher' still expect an internship, so an analytics internship is worth more here than in most tracks.
Eligibility is set per drive and your placement cell’s notice is what actually applies on your campus. One trap worth knowing: a 6.0 CGPA is not always 60%. Where a university converts with (CGPA − 0.75) × 10, a 6.0 is 52.5% — below most employers’ floor. Check which formula yours uses before assuming you qualify.
And on the package: CTC is not take-home. A ₹4 LPA offer lands nearer ₹28,000–32,000 a month once provident fund, gratuity and tax come out, and offers with a large variable or joining-bonus component differ more again. Compare offers on fixed monthly pay, not on the headline. On-campus mass recruiters rarely move off a standard package; startups, GCCs and mid-size firms hiring off-campus often have some room.
Who should apply
Graduates whose degree and interests line up with the work above. Eligibility aside, employers in this track screen on demonstrated capability more than on which campus you attended.
This role is probably not for you if you want to build software rather than answer questions with data, or you would find data cleaning tedious — it is genuinely most of the work.
Evaluation notice
Results are shared with the student and, with consent, with employers hiring into this track. Scores carry the evidence and the assessment date. Practice and assessed sessions are clearly distinguished before either begins.
