The field, for which your personality and your mind have flair for, is the best for you. All fields have their own mental requirements, for example, If you are an extroverted, good in convincing and negotiating skills, then maybe Marketing is better for you. If you have a pleasing personality, great soft skills, flair for pure service, then Tourism and hospitality is right for you. Moreover, the highest packages also depend upon what is your sincerity level in attaining the skills for any particular trade. You may have seen that some students get unusually high packages to the tune of 20 LPA and above, while in same class the students studding the same syllabus from same teachers get about 5 to 7 lacs per annum, why is that? The answer in the sincerity and skills attained, while all other things remained same. At LPU, the placements opportunities are provided to every specialisation fir MBA.
