Which course should I pursue in my MBA?

Hi venkatesh, There are a variety of MBA specializations in India. Because of the pool of MBA specializations to choose from, students often get confused about how to choose an MBA specialisation. So it is very important to do a SWOT analysis of yourself and choose a specialisation on the basis of your strengths, background and overall personality. Here are top MBA specializations that will strike the chord of an MBA aspirant- MBA in Business Analytics, MBA in HR, MBA in Marketing, MBA in Finance, MBA in Entrepreneurship, MBA in Insurance & Risk Management, MBA in Operation Management, MBA in Logistics Management. The student should have the right focus and attitude to decide the career goals and work specializations. Also consider the return on investment that the course promises. This in turn depends on rankings, acceptance rate, faculty, academic culture and career services associated with the chosen institute. At, IILM University, Gurugram have freedom to choose electives from more than one domain as well. So if your college offers this kind of flexibility then must exercise this option. This will help you to take a balanced decision. Also one must give equal importance to all the aspects of management because when you climb up the corporate ladder, you are required to perform more than one function and thus the knowledge of different areas come into play. Hope this help!

Hi venkatesh, MBA would be a good option for you. MBA will lead you to gaining management skills in whichever specialisation you do. The career following MBA will be more towards techno-management roles, more into corporate and entrepreneurship. So it is your choice! Go check your interests, aptitude, hobbies, attitude, bent of mind and ASPIRATIONS before taking a plunge into any of these. But whatever you decide, pursue only from universities of high repute like Iims, PU, IITS, SIBM, VIT, BITs and LPU etc. Do not do hurry while comparing the above mentioned institutes. All the best.

This is common to all the specializations. Professional etiquette: It is the most important part these days, the personality, ethics, virtuous, speech, body language, interpersonal skills etc are given high importance in the organisations. The program must include the training or modules on all these. Diversity: As he world shrinks into a aligned economy, the professionals will be required to work in cross cultural teams having entirely different work culture and ethos, the national and international diversity of students in a B-School is helpful in enabling the students develop right sensibilities for such work atmosphere. Entrepreneurship : Even though most of the students go for jobs, the exposure to entrepreneurship is required. This helps the professionals know how the other departments and the profit center heads work, what are the expectations etc. You have many great options here in India like IIMs, SPJMER, Greatlakes, SIBM, FMS Delhi, UBS chd and LPU punjab for the propose. Hope this helps DVD
