I have completed my engineering in instrumentation and control and looking forward to do MBA. Which MBA specialisation will be best for me?

Hi Abhishek, The answer to this question depends on your current status, whether you are still in college with no interest in core job, engineer in a non-technical job or an instrumentation engineer with an engineering job. In the first two cases, instrumentation term has no relevance because then your question again becomes Why MBA after engineering which has already numerous answers and discussion forums. If you still wish to go with MBA top MBA branches are given below. 1) Finance MBA coursework can provide a solid background for the prestigious CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam or the equally venerated CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) exam. More about CPA and CFA Those who do MBA in Finance can go on to become: Cash Managers Risk and Insurance Managers Credit Managers Management Consultants Investment Banking Associates and later Investment Bankers Treasurers and Finance Officers Controllers (who prepare budget reports for regulatory agencies and business management, do audits and prepare cash management strategies) The C' Position: CFO' or Chief Financial Officers supervise all financial and accounting operations, strategies, and policies of the company. 2) Marketing The single most popular specializations amongst MBA graduates in India, Marketing is a hard-core front-end job and is meant for leaders. MBA Marketing is very dynamic and competitive. You need excellent communication skills, resource mobilization skills and an undying zeal to excel to make it to the top-level positions in the field of sales and marketing. 3) Operations MBA in Operations equips you to deal with Production Management or Shop Floor Management. You learn how to come up with and maintain process flows, develop vendor and inter-departmental relationships, do ancillary management etc. to ensure smooth and efficient business operations. With Business Operations as your MBA specialization, you may start off as Product Manager or Technical Supervisor and reach the position of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) or General Manager of a company, especially in manufacturing, engineering and IT sectors. 4) Information Technology (IT) Information Technology (IT) or Management Information Systems (MIS) has recently emerged as one of the most important MBA specializations. For those who have IT background (as a software engineer or IT graduate), MBA IT can open up positions like System Analyst, Technical Systems Manager, Technical Consultant, and Business Development Manager.

This would depend on your interest areas and career aspirations. In case you want to pursue a career in sales & Marketing, then pursue MBA in Marketing, and if you intend to work on the shop floor, then specialization in Operations would be better. If finance & HR interests you, then you could also look at the said areas as specialization.
