| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| Write TANCET | Take the MBA paper that Anna University holds once a year. |
| Register for counselling | Apply online for Tamil Nadu MBA counselling in June. |

These closes are for the college as a whole, because counselling does not split seats by specialisation. Any student can win an open seat, whatever the community.

Which MBA specialisation should you pick at Jeppiaar?
Specialisation
Finance
31% of the 2023 offers. Roles: financial analyst, data analyst, trainee.
Pick it if:
You want an analyst desk job: BNY Mellon hired Finance students as financial analysts at INR 3.5 LPA in 2023, among the best offers that year.
You want a steady pay range: Finance offers in 2023 sat between INR 2.45 LPA and INR 3.5 LPA, from BNY Mellon, Fedby Information and Congruent Technology.
Skip it if:
You expect offers from large banks: the 2023 Finance list has BNY Mellon, Shriram Chits and data firms, but no large private bank.
You dislike data entry work: Fedby Information and Congruent Technology hired Finance students in 2023 as data processors and data analysts, not as finance managers.
Human Resource Management (HR)
27% of the 2023 offers. Roles: HR assistant, recruiter.
Pick it if:
You want recruitment or HR assistant roles: Galexon Engineering, Layam Talent Academy and NCR Corporation hired HR students in 2023 as HR assistants and recruiters.
You want a fair share of the jobs: HR took 27% of the 2023 offers, the third biggest share after Marketing and Finance.
Skip it if:
You want a high first salary: HR offers in 2023 went from INR 1.8 LPA to INR 3 LPA, below the top Finance and Marketing offers.
You want a big company name on your first job: most 2023 HR offers came from small firms and training academies, not large employers.
Marketing
40% of the 2023 offers. Roles: sales executive, customer service.
Pick it if:
You enjoy sales and talking to customers: OPPO, Fangs Technology and Bruhat Logistics hired Marketing students in 2023 as sales executives.
You want the most job offers: Marketing took 40% of the 2023 offers, the biggest share of any specialisation here.
You want a shot at the top offer: the best 2023 offer, INR 3.72 LPA, was an OPPO sales job taken by a Marketing student.
Skip it if:
You want a desk job with fixed hours: most 2023 Marketing roles were field sales, retail sales and customer service jobs with monthly targets.
You want a bank officer post: the one bank on the 2023 Marketing list, Karur Vysya Bank, hired for a direct sales role, not an officer post.
Operations Management (Operations)
No 2023 offer is listed under Operations in the college report.
Pick it if:
You want logistics or plant roles later: the 2023 recruiter list had Bruhat Logistics and Galexon Engineering Industries, firms where planning and supply work matter.
You want a second subject beside a bigger one: you choose electives in year 2, so Operations papers can sit beside Marketing or Finance papers.
Skip it if:
You want a track record of jobs: the college's 2023 placement chart lists no offer in Operations, against 40% in Marketing.
You hope to lock it in at counselling: counselling gives you only the college, so no seat is kept aside for Operations.
Systems Management (Systems)
2% of the 2023 offers, listed as Business Analytics. Role: software engineer.
Pick it if:
You want an IT company job: Avasoft hired a Business Analytics student as a software engineer at INR 3.5 LPA in 2023.
You like data and spreadsheets: the systems electives cover data and business analytics, the area the 2023 report calls Business Analytics.
Skip it if:
You want many offers to choose from: Business Analytics took only 2% of the 2023 offers, one student out of the 52 placed.
You want a full computer course: this is two years of management study with a few systems electives, not a computing degree.
Counsellor's advice
If your TANCET marks clear the open close, take this seat and decide the specialisation in year 2. Pick Marketing if you want the most offers and Finance if you want analyst roles; treat Operations and Systems as second subjects.

Same rule, every specialisation: All five specialisations use the same marks rule, because you pick one only in year 2.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Counselling gives you the college, not the specialisation, so one close covers all five. The open seat closed at 4.924 marks in round 1 of 2026 but at 29.18 in 2025, so do not count on a repeat in 2027.
