Students can choose any two areas for specialization (out of 6 areas: Finance, Marketing, OB&HR,

specialization has to be Marketing, and for PGDM (FIN), it has to be finance. However, as far as

Major specialization requires a number of electives, whereas minor requires fewer elective
courses from one single area. The first-year courses are common for all three programs. However,

Finance but a minor in OB&HR, he/she can still appear for selection for HR profile placement.
