Human Resource doesn't provide more job opportunities these days as compared to Marketing and Finance. You can get jobs in the placement cell or the recruitment cells of the companies. Finance is definitely a good option if you are better with your accounts and numbers. This also has better job prospects. On the other hand, MBA in Marketing has job opportunities in areas such as brand management, advertising, sales departments, etc. LPU provides various specializations in MBA that ranges from traditional specializations to the newly streamlined specializations as per the current requirements of the job demand in the market like Artificial Intelligence, Digital Marketing, Fintech, MBA (Business Analytics) with WileyNXT, MBA (Financial Markets) with NSE Academy and so on.

Hi, Ideally one should pick a specialisation based on their interest. But, mostly marketing and finance have more scope as compared to HR. All the best.
