Hi Swami,
One should decide on the basis of the kind of career you would want for yourself. MBA is a holistic course which deals with management aspects, the major specialization in MBA are:
- Finance.
- Marketing.
- Human resources, etc.
All the specialization fields mentioned above are good to pursue and all offers good career prospects and excellent growth opportunities.
I would suggest that before opting for any specialization you must first decide in which field you wish to build your career and accordingly you may select the best specialization as per your interest and liking.
As a student you should give your 100% in whichever specialization you opt for, and if you do well then getting a good job with handsome salary should not be a problem.

Hi Sneha,
BBA (Bachelors in Business Administration) or a BBM (Bachelors in Business Management) is a graduate level management degree that is solely designed to enlighten student's management skills at the Bachelors level
Career Prospects: A BBA graduate can start off as an Executive, Associate, Business Development Manager or an Assistant manager in various organizations such as:
Manufacturing companies
Export and trading houses
Financial concerns
Banks
NGO's
PSU's
Multinational corporations
Initially the pay will not be that appealing and most of the students are hired as interns and are given stipend instead of salary. But with experience and exposure the salary bar would surely get a hike and an MBA after BBA/BBM would definitely fetch the student more lucrative jobs.

B.B.A is mainly concerned with studies of Business Administration. While B.M.S course structure is mainly dealing with Management and managerial subjects.

B.Tech is a Bachelor's degree which provides you with the technical knowledge and M.Tech is a Master's degree which provides you with the technical knowledge. BBA with MBA will provide you only managerial skills, whereas, if you choose B.Tech with MBA is better than that of any other course.

Hi Dubey,
Find below some tips regarding preparation of Group discussion:
Please remember in most of the B-schools GDs are held on current topics related to sports, economics, business etc, so you need to be aware of all the latest current affairs, for this you should read news papers and magazines.
GD is a team activity, so while participating you should express your views very clearly at the same time you also should give chance to others members in team to speak.
It is always advisable to take initiative and speak first if you know about the topic, but if you are not aware of the topic you should listen to others first and then speak.
As soon as you get to know the topic don't immediately start the discussion take 1-2 minutes time, jot down the points and then speak.
While speaking in GD your tone should not be aggressive, it should be polite and humble.
When the discussion is over, it would be good if you give the final conclusion on behalf of the group.
To do well in interview, please keep in mind the following tips:
Be comfortable.
Listen attentively.
Avoid nervous mannerisms.
Speak clearly.
Be positive and enthusiastic.
While giving answers to questions:
Be Concise.
Provide Examples.
Be Honest.
