One of the most common difficulties surrounding subject choice relates to the choice between Maths and Maths Literacy. Maths is a difficult subject for many students and is a common source of stress especially during exams. This leads to the question of whether to take Maths or whether to opt for Maths Literacy. One of the misconceptions often quoted is that without Maths you will not get a worthwhile job one day. This is not true! There are hundreds and hundreds of careers that you can do without Maths. It is true that there are many careers that you cannot do without Maths. This is because Maths is a gateway subject to fields such as science, engineering, medicine, IT as well as into some areas of commerce. If you are considering any of these fields and you are struggling to cope with Maths then you need to consider your options carefully before deciding of whether to take Maths or not.



Marketing today is increasingly about data. At a minimum,marketers need to do reporting, which is based on math.There are a wide variety ofmath skills that marketers should have. These include statistics, geometry, economics, finance and even calculus.

Hi Anurag,

There are two ways of choosing a course - 1. According to your graduation studies and 2. As per your interest.

You can either choose any one of these MBA specialisations that go in sync with your Graduation studies or you can choose the one that interests you. Choosing the first method will allow you to study whatever you have studied in graduation in detail while pursuing MBA in the same subject. But if you are a person who loves to pursue his interest, you should choose the one you like because doing what you love is the best thing that you can do with your professional life. Everything else including placements n all will fall in line automatically.

Make sure that you crack the national-level MBA exams such as CAT, XAT, MAT, NMAT, CMAT etc. with high percentile (if you are applying for any). If you study from a top B-school, placements will not be a problem.

Good luck.
