Which MBA specialisation is better for a BA English student: Marketing, Finance or HRM? What do you suggest me and why?

First of all, it depends on your interest which stream is well suited you. Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a postgraduate degree that is awarded to students who have mastered the study of business. If you have done BA in English, I would suggest you for the MBA in Marketing specialization. And good luck for your bright future.

It depends on where you want to go, really. If you feel your quantitative skills are on the weaker side, avoid finance and operations at all costs. For somebody who isn't good at math (like Yours Truly), sitting a finance test is somewhat like facing Brett Lee on a green pitch. Unplayable. Marketing pretty interesting. I'd consider marketing communications if I were you. Your B.A. English would come handy there, particularly if you have good writing and ideation abilities. MICA places a premium on such skills. Take the MICAT you won't regret it. Graduating from MICA would give you career opportunities in Brand Management, Advertising, Media Management, Digital Marketing and Market Research. HRis a great field too, particularly if you like dealing with people and have a tiny streak of empathy. Consider taking the TISSNET XAT and SNAP as these could get you into Tata Institute of Social Sciences, XLRI and SCMHRD respectively. Rural Management a fast-growing discipline. While IRMA is the best school for it, there's also XIMB, and IIM-A's Agribusiness Management specialisation (I know it's not rural managementper se, but it does come close) The bottomline, you ask? Avoid finance and operations you think you'll have a hard time crunching the numbers. I'm currently struggling with both, and can't wait for the day I get to choose my specialisation - I'll pick marketing and live happily ever after. :) Hope this helps you. Be free to share any problem you have. Good luck.

Hello Raviraj, It is totally depended upon the aspirant caliber and career plans. Generally For Finance English graduates are unfit to pursue Finance due to Commerce graduates are eligible and preferable, Specifically Marketing is desirable for English graduates due to they have good communication skill which is the basic need to work in Marketing industry. Mostly HRM opt for graduates who are engineers and management graduates. Due to they're already expert in any particular firm like Mechanical, civil, IT, if they pursue HRM they can directly employ in managerial roles. All the Best for your future.
