According to my opinion, both the MBA in Finance and MBA in Marketing are good in their fields. If a person wants to enhance his career in Marketing only then go for MBA in marketing and on the other hand if you want to get any extra knowledge about another field of MBA along with specialisation, then go for MBA in which you can have two specializations together and this is offered by LPU which is known all over the world. I will share something about LPU. The Business School of LPU is accredited by ACBSP, Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs from the USA ensuring quality education and industry-experienced faculty members, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA.

Scholarships: LPU provides very good scholarships to bright students who have a good academic record, sports, or extracurricular activities achievement. 4. Placement: LPU has a very good placement and achieved awards for employability also. The main thing for placement that I liked during studying there, LPU provides placement classes to the student from very first year which helps student to be prepared for placement till their final year of the programme. 5.

Hi Sameeksha, 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 organisation 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. To know more about the university, please go through the website: IILM University - Freedom to Pursue your Passion. Hope this help!

Both the specialisation of MBA is good, but its depends upon the students, which is his interest area. However, If I have to decide between these two from career opportunities points of view, then certainly Marketing have more job opportunities compare with Finance specialisation.
