Domain – In simple words we can say, particular area of work or specific area to be worked upon. For Example: Healthcare, Banking, Investment Banking, Telecom, Payments,E-Commerce, finance, insurance, CRM, supply chain, logistics etc…
Domains for Business Analyst will be like Healthcare, Banking, Investment Banking, Telecom, Payments, E-Commerce, finance, insurance, CRM, supply chain, logistics etc…
Here we need to understand one important thing that Domain can be understood in 2 ways, one is technical guys Domain and another is general domain (which is for business analysts/functional guys).
For Developers and tech persons domain will be software which they worked on. For Example: Java, J2ee, JS, Oracle,.net etc.,
Why domain Experience or knowledge is important?
Most of software companies will not work on all domains. Companies will work on only selected domains. Very rarely companies work on many domains. Very few companies will work on all the domains.
However, the important point is if a company is hiring business analysts and if candidate knows about domain which that company works then it will be added advantage because training program will be of short duration and Business Analyst can understand the product functionality quickly.
And as he has experience in domain he can convince and explain easily product functionality to internal and external stakeholders. BUT usually companies will not expect domain expertise from freshers but if candidate is having expertise then obviously that candidate will have advantage over other candidates and can be picked by employer.

How to get domain Experience or Knowledge?
I know now you are thinking about how to get domain Experience or knowledge?
Now let us see how to get domain Experience or knowledge? As you completed your graduation or post graduation recently and as you are a fresher you may not have any experience and you may think “no one explained about domain Experience or knowledge during college”, this may be your first question in your mind.
Not a problem, now a day you can get domain Experience or knowledge by browsing internet without attending any classes and you need not go anywhere. What you need to do is, you should have some patience and ready to read and learn. Just read some articles related to domains and discuss with your friends and who are working on some domains. Always note down what you feel is important. This is very important to gain domain Experience or knowledge.
The very important thing you should keep in mind is – every piece of information about domain is valuable. Domain Experience or knowledge just means “knowing more” that’s all. For example, lets take example of Health Care.
We think health care is about hospital and to build software for hospital. The common requirements we think are… patient & doctor but it involves many things like Lab, Insurance, in insurance there are different insurance like cashless, pay & reimburse, other services like MRI, scanning, Pharma (drugs), inventory (inventory of medicines, surgical equipments), government rules and regulations pertaining to insurance, drug control board, reports, rooms availability(General Rooms, Special Rooms), doctor availability, maintain appointments, bill payments, administrator to manage software etc… so all needed is to know bit more. That itself is domainknowledge.
