Dear Ketaki, TISS Mumbai does not offer MBA in Finance. The MBA programmes offered at TISS Mumbai are Business Policy and Entrepreneurship, Development Management, Health Systems Management, HRM, Information Systems Management, Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development Management. The admission process for the MBA courses at TISS Mumbai is based on the TISSNET exam which is a 2-hour exam that consists of 100 multiple choice questions. The TISSNET exam is conducted in April every year and the shortlisted candidates for the MBA courses at TISS Mumbai will be called for a personal interview.
