Hi Kareena,
In today's market the largest share of revenue in most businesses comes from the retail sales. Retail is just not limited to supermarkets and shopping malls but has much broader meaning and reach as whatever we get to see selling around us involves retail operations.
Retail management courses are available in UG level (after +2) and also in PG level and so students from any background and stream of studies can join retailing management.
Some of the top institutions like, ISB - Hyderabad, SP Jain, NMIMS, K J Somaiya, Welingker, etc. are not easy to enter for students with average 'merit' (unfortunately, which is judged by marks) and are more suitable for people with some work experience seeking mid level career in retail sector.
