A regular MBA is a generalized specialization in the first year while it becomes domain specific during the second year. Business Analytics, on the other hand, is specifically for those interested in analytical industries and sectors. The past few years have witnessed an increasing demand for Analytics. This industry usually is extremely domain-specific and includes lots of database analysis. It revolves around every aspect of technology and restricts your knowledge base to an extent.

A general MBA is pure management science and is much more flexible than MBA in BA. It offers flexibility in thought and work process to a certain extent in contrast to MBA in BA. Additionally, IIM Bangalore’s credibility of being one of the best B Schools across the world and a top research institution helps. A diverse inclusion of work ex and skillful fresher makes it more special like Ivy League B Schools.

In conclusion, go for MBA in BA only and only if you have a genuine passion for numbers else go for a core MBA.
