Hi,

It is critical to have solid grounds for choosing a certain expertise. You can choose up to two specialization from Marketing, Operations & Supply Chain Management, Finance, and Information Management at SPJIMR.  So if your area of interest is marketing you can select marketing as your first preference.

The order of preference is important, and the first preference should ideally be connected with your profile, which means that you have a bachelor's degree in the subject, relevant work experience, or any specialised courses related to it. The second preference, if filled, should also reflect genuine interest with effective reasoning.

If you mention a Special Area Of Interest, you must include a 50-word explanation to it. Make a note in this box as follows:

• Why you appreciate this specialisation
• how your talents or attributes connect with it,
• informal activities that reflect your specific interest in this field.

Hope that helps you
