LIMAT MBA FAQs

Ques. Is the MBA specialisation fixed during AP ICET counselling or can it be changed later?

Ans. During APSCHE AP ICET counselling, candidates select a specific college and programme combination including the specialisation.

Candidates who wish to switch specialisations would need to re-enter counselling in a future year. For management quota admissions, check options directly with LIMAT at limat.edu.in.
