ELECTIVES AT Amrita School Of Business  

In the MBA program, a student must take 12 electives for credit, two in term three of the first year and the remaining ten in the second year. Students are free to choose the same, but only if a student has taken at least 5 electives in a certain field can they claim to go for a specialisation in that particular domain.  

Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Information Systems & Analytics, and Operations are the prominent areas of specialisation. 

Internally, Amrita has defined several optional courses as core to the region to avoid unusual scenarios where students claim to be from a given specialisation without studying necessary electives core to the subject. At least three domain-based electives must be chosen by all MBA students. 

'Consumer Behaviour' in Marketing and 'Business Analytics', for example, are electives that are essential to the field of ISA. 'Business Applications of Digital Technologies' is an ISA elective, while 'FinTech' is a Finance optional that isn't considered relevant to the field. The usual trend has seen students divide their options as 7 from one area and 5 from another (7 + 5), 6 + 6, or 5 + 5 + 2 in general (from other areas).
