The MBA program at Ratan Tata Maharashtra State Skills University (RT-MSSU) is a transformative two-year postgraduate offering that redefines business education by placing skills at the heart of learning. Designed to produce industry-ready and innovation-driven leaders, the program integrates contemporary management theory with deep-rooted skill development, preparing graduates for roles that demand both strategic insight and operational excellence.

Structured around a trimester model, the program allows students to build a strong foundation in core business disciplines—marketing, finance, operations, human resources, and strategy—while gradually progressing into their chosen specialization: Business Analytics, Digital Marketing, Innovation & New Venture Management or International Business. What sets this MBA apart is its immersive skill-based curriculum, where each trimester includes hands-on projects, real-time industry tools, and certification-based modules aligned with national standards and market trends.

One of the program’s most distinctive features is the embedded On-the-Job Training (OJT) in the final year. This ensures students graduate not just with theoretical knowledge, but with real business exposure and professional workplace experience. Additionally, students have access to six industry-recognized certifications, specialized labs, and mentorship from corporate professionals. The curriculum is aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) and supports multi-exit options—allowing learners to earn a Postgraduate Diploma after the first year or a full MBA upon completion of two years.

Graduates of this program emerge with:

• A strong foundation in business strategy and decision-making
• Proficiency in high-demand tools and technologies (e.g., Excel, Power BI, social media analytics, cloud platforms)
• Deep specialization in emerging areas that align with new-age business needs
• One year of actual industry exposure through OJT
• A professional portfolio and career-ready mindset to step into roles like business analyst, digital marketer, product strategist, or startup founder

Whether you’re looking to lead in a corporate environment, launch a startup, or drive innovation in existing systems, the RT-MSSU MBA equips you with the knowledge, skills, and real-world experience to succeed and stand out.
