Hi..Pavithra I Am pursuing my MBA second yr.... Nw I am in stage of choosing my specialization .....i have a idea of choosing HR and financ

The first year of the MBA program is devoted towards culmination of the core courses. These are contrived to build a strong and sirm foundation of the basic concepts of all the various management subjects . The latter year of the program, you can choose to specialise in a particular area. Choosing a particular specialization is entirely dependent upon you and it should be a matter of what you want or are good at, rather than what your colleagues are advicing. The points below will help you get a deeper understanding of what you should really choose:-

1. Know Your Strengths

Do a self-analysis of things you are good at. There are multiple specializations available but it's important that you choose your field based on your personality, your skills, your career goals and what drives you.

2. Focus on your Long-Term Goals

You must focus on how the specialization will boost your career, and whether you can expect long term employability, rather than being carried away with here-today-gone-tomorrow specializations.

3. Understand the Salary Figures

If salary figures are great for a specialization but you are too weak to grasp and perform in that area, do not choose it. Only if you get paid for what you enjoy doing, you can utilize your skills at the fullest in the best possible manner.

4. Know the Alumni

Learn about the person who will be teaching you the concerned subject and you must deeply analyze the content covered in each specialization. This will help you in choosing the right specialization.

Even if I tell you that you should opt hr and finance or skip it all and go for marketing instead, it's only going to overall add to your confusion. So. it's best if you go through the above points and see what suits you best.

I hope this clears your query.
