Hello Akshay,
I will suggest initially you search for good college and then think of specialization because you can select the specialization in second year for which you have ample of time remaining. If you get a good college, then specialization does't matters much, what matters is then placement and companies on campus. -
Hi Akshay, usually placements depends on college, the most preferred specialization, the past history of companies that visited the campus of college. Placements are good if you are in cream layer of that college. Then specialization won't matter. But seeing the current scenario placements in marketing and finance are good. -

7 years agoHello Akshay, congratulations on your good score. You are on the boundary of getting PUMBA. You can definitely get Indira and Balaji. Talking about placement, marketing will present you comparatively more opportunities for internships thereby paving your way for final placements. At least in PUMBA and Indira we have better placement for marketing so take your decision as per accordingly. Best regards.
