MIS Executive is still one of the most common entry-level data jobs in Delhi NCR — in BPOs, banks, insurance, e-commerce and manufacturing. But the job description has changed. Companies no longer just want "good Excel". This is what hiring managers are asking for now.
1. Advanced Excel — tested, not just listed
Expect a practical test: SUMIFS/COUNTIFS, VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables with slicers, conditional formatting and a simple dashboard. Many companies give you a raw data file and 30–45 minutes.
2. SQL basics
Reports increasingly come straight from databases. Being able to write SELECT with WHERE, GROUP BY and a JOIN puts you ahead of most freshers.
3. Automation (VBA or Power Query)
The daily report that takes 2 hours by hand should take 2 minutes. Recruiters love candidates who can show one automated report.
4. Power BI dashboards
Management wants interactive dashboards, not 20 sheets. Power BI is becoming a standard requirement for MIS Analyst roles.
5. Communication
You will email reports to managers every day. Clear summaries — "sales down 8% in North, mainly Printers" — matter as much as formulas.
Salary snapshot
