SRIHER MBA Healthcare Management FAQs

Ques. Which entrance exams are accepted for MBA Hospital and Health Care Management at SRIHER?

Ans. SRIHER accepts CAT, MAT, CMAT, XAT, ATMA, and TANCET scores for admission to this MBA programme. Candidates who have not appeared in any national-level exam may write the SRFMS Management Aptitude Test, which is the university’s own aptitude test conducted at the Chennai campus. Selection is based on entrance exam score combined with the candidate’s undergraduate academic performance, and in case of a tie, qualifying exam marks are used as the tiebreaker.

Ques. What specialisations are available within this MBA programme at SRIHER?

Ans. Three specialisations are offered: Healthcare Quality Management, Healthcare Finance Management, and Healthcare Human Resource Management. Students choose their track at the start of the second year, and each specialisation includes live projects and case studies drawn from the functioning of SRIHER’s 2,500-bed hospital and its affiliated healthcare network. This makes the learning directly applicable to real hospital operations rather than purely academic scenarios.

Ques. What is the placement record for this MBA programme?

Ans. The 2024 placement season recorded a highest package of INR 12.18 LPA and an average of INR 4.20 LPA. Key recruiters included Apollo Hospitals, Fortis Healthcare, Max Healthcare, GE Healthcare, Cipla, Sun Pharma, Dr. Reddy’s, and Accenture Health. Roles were concentrated in hospital administration, healthcare consulting, pharma marketing, and medical device sales, with a notable South India placement focus.

Ques. Is a medical or healthcare background required to apply for this MBA?

Ans. No medical background is required. Any candidate with a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university with at least 50% aggregate marks is eligible to apply. Engineers, commerce graduates, arts graduates, and science graduates are all accepted. The programme curriculum covers foundational healthcare concepts so students without clinical exposure can build the necessary domain knowledge during the first year.

Ques. How is SRIHER’s MBA different from a general MBA at another university?

Ans. The key differentiator is institutional context. Being embedded within SRIHER, one of India’s largest private medical universities, students interact with hospital departments, clinical staff, and healthcare operations from Day 1. This enables real-world healthcare management projects and industry internships that are typically unavailable at standalone B-schools. The trade-off is a narrower recruiter base focused on healthcare and a smaller batch compared to large general management programmes, making it best suited for those with a clear healthcare sector intent.
