    Phase 2 Specialization Options:

    Finance and Control: Finance has become a Sine qua non-element in all domain of management functions. The finance module intents to generate new ideas and perceptions for curriculum development, course design and research.

In its endeavour to demystify the area of data analytics, it will cover the concepts of estimation, classification, association and clustering, including the use of machine learning techniques.
