Now with the changing need of market, we strongly feel that MBA program which gives opportunity to students to concentrate in any chosen area of their choice will provide more flexibility to students to build their career and respond to the need of the corporate world.

The decision to merge MBA Banking and Capital Market program and increase the seats in MBA program to 500, and allow students to take up concentration in Corporate Finance, Banking and Risk Management, and Capital Market and Investment Banking , along with option to concentrate in other functional area is a very welcome decision that will benefit all the stakeholder of the school.
