CSMU MBA Human Resource: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Yes, the MBA at CSMU is structured as a dual specialisation programme, meaning students choose two specialisations from the available options: Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, IT, Hospital Management, Pharmaceutical Management, Fintech, Operations Management, and Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Students who choose HR as one specialisation can pair it with another such as Marketing or Finance. This dual specialisation approach makes graduates more versatile and employable across multiple functional areas.

Ans. CSMU does not publicly specify a minimum CAT percentile cutoff for MBA admissions. Admission is based on a combination of CAT/GMAT/CSMUCET scores and performance in the qualifying examination (bachelor's degree). Since CSMU is a private university with a relatively smaller MBA intake, students with moderate CAT scores (50th-70th percentile) have been known to secure admission. Students who have not appeared for CAT can appear for CSMUCET, which is the university's own entrance test.
