Electives offered within two specialization options:
- Stand-alone Specialization: Students can choose 11 electives within a single functional area, such as Finance, Marketing, Actuarial Science or Human Resources.

The programme emphasizes experiential learning, enabling students to apply classroom learning to real-world challenges. From Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to Industrial Visits, frequent interaction with industry stalwarts, and internships, the programme helps develop leadership skills through transformational experiences.
Additionally, it includes a two-month summer internship from May to June and a capstone project to ensure practical, hands-on learning.
