This flexibility further enables students to combine core management and emerging business domains. Their first options include Marketing Management, Human Resource Management, and Finance Management. Further, the second specialisation can be done in Operations & Supply Chain Management, International Business, Artificial Intelligence & Business Analytics, Digital Marketing, or Marketing. Typically, students select two specializations during the programme and are free to do so based on their career goals and interests or the availability of electives in the later trimester.
