Hi,
Thanks for writing to Career guide.
MBA Marketing is a conventional course and is best suited if you are interested in pursuing a degree in marketing and are looking for jobs in Marketing sector. With this specialisation, you can almost get any job in Marketing based in India. However as you gain some international experience through job assignments in your career, you may be offered any international marketing roles as well.
MBA International Business is in recent trends and is ideally suited for someone looking for setting up their business at international level. Ideally, if you are willing to be an entrepreneur and are interested in setting up your business in India and outside Indian territory, this subject will be of a great help in understanding the diversity in international market. In addition to that, if you are aspiring for a consulting role or are interested in international job opportunities this should be an ideal option for you.
But beyond this, you should also understand that employers really don't give weightage to your specialisation, whether it is international business or general business management. Even students pursuing general business management are offered international business assignments. So this is only for those set of students who are truly interested in understanding the international markets and their functions. So, in what I have seen, though International business may equip you with knowledge of business at international level it is still fine to carry with a regular general MBA or an MBA with an elective of your choice. So, the choice is yours. Good luck.
