Hi Naresh,

A Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree is a graduate-level program, so you can’t expect it to be easy. However, you don’t need to be a full-fledged mathematician to handle the quantitative requirements of an MBA curriculum, either.

Students need to approach this master’s degree program with a strong quantitative background and high scores on graduate-level tests if possible, and if not, they must be prepared to take some mathematics review coursework before they begin working toward the MBA degree.

While your curriculum probably won’t include graduate classes in pure mathematics, a number of the courses you take as an MBA student will require you to have excellent analytical and quantitative skills. The more quantitative your MBA specialization, the more math-related classes you should expect to take.

And as for knowledge of computers, you need not be a hard-core coder, but basic knowledge of  MS Excel, MS Word and PowerPoint are necessary. Also, based on your specialization you may be required to have some basic knowledge about coding and specialized analytical tools like Tableau / Power BI.

Hope that helps :)
