Hi shubham, giving more emphasis to placement marketing has more scope and more companies because the demand for this specialization is quite high but what is more important is where exactly your interest lies because it is very easy to get a job but quite difficult to manage the same if you are not interested to do it. So firstly, make your mind clear that what is your area of interest, is it marketing or finance and choose it. Finance sector will demand more employees especially after this pandemic. So take the decision wisely. All the best.

Hi Shubham,Even though both the programs MBA in Finance and MBA in Marketing incorporate the core and fundamental business concepts, they have significant differences in the curriculum and career prospects. So, to find out which course is your perfect fit, you must first understand them individually and what they have to offer. MBA Marketing - The programme will focus on developing insights and skills to create or be part of a customer-centric organization using design thinking. The course help students to observe and understand the needs of the customers, develop fast experiments and prototypes with users and develop prediction markets. Career aspects in MBA in Marketing are as follows: 1- Products and Services 2- Marketing Research 3- Channel of Distribution 4- Physical Distribution 4- Promotional Decisions 5- Pricing Decisions 6- Environmental Analysis MBA Finance - The programme will enable students to have an in-depth understanding of the future of money, markets and transactions, as well as the mental tools and frameworks required to predict and leverage future trends. Career opportunities in finance are as follows: 1- Asset management 2- Financial advisory 3- Retail banking 4- Planning and taxation 5- Accounting 6- Equity analyst 7- Risk management 8- Business analyst, etc. As per my opinion, student should go for General MBA programme to get the knowledge of all the specializations. Because in General MBA student can select the specialisation as per his/her interest from 2nd year. Best college like IILM University, Gurugram provide Dual specialisation programme to the student. They are providing good opportunity to learn both Marketing as well as Finance.
