Which MBA course should you pick at EIILM Kolkata?

Course

INR 6.95 Lakhs for 2 years. Exams: CAT, MAT, ATMA or VUMAT, then GD and interview.

You want to choose your major later: the majors include Marketing, Digital Marketing, Finance, HR, Supply Chain and Retail.
Skip it if:
You want coding and data tools as the core of your course: Python, SQL and Power BI are taught in the Business Analytics course, not in this one.

MBA in Business Analytics and Data Science (MBA Analytics)
INR 12 Lakhs for 2 years. Exams: CAT, MAT, ATMA or VUMAT, then GD and interview.
Pick it if:
