I did mechanical engineering and I want to go for MBA. Which specialization would be better for me?

You can look out for MBA in operation and supply chain management especially if you have an interest or work experience in production or operations.

Hi, It is one of the most frequently asked questions by engineers from all streams. Nothing is common between Engineering and MBA. It is more about aptitude and interest because in any case you will have to acquire the requisite knowledge for both Having said this, marketing is easier to grasp and compete in because not only it is new for all but also, in spite of being complex, it is easier to assimilate and visualize. It is easier to connect and engage with. As far as Finance is concerned it has pursuant who have an edge having done B.Com besides direct competition with Chartered Accountants. However, if you have a flair for number crunching and well developed logical and analytical skills, you can choose Finance. Besides, most MBA colleges offer dual specializations, you can select one as the major specialization and the other as the minor one. MBA Analytics for me would be a better choice over these two. Firstly because it is totally aligned with the skills acquired during engineering. Secondly, there are a lot of career opportunities that are coming up in this domain. It is the next big field where numbers of fast growth paced careers are likely to be made. At the same time, most popular combination with analytics is finance. Last point, as suggested in one of the other answers, Operations is another option which you could evaluate.
