Hello


Thank you for choosing Mera career guide and writing to us. I see you are a final semester student on your MBA degree at IIPM. May I ask you what was your first degree and did you have any work experience post graduation? If yes, in what? My answer could better help you had I known these info. However, I shall try to base out my answer in a more generalised way.

Most MBA students tend to become confused with choosing specializations and this certainly happens for one main reason, if you are a candidate without any work experience. Had you been at work before, you could have easily chosen the right specialization linked to your work profile. But don't worry, it happens with most students who are freshers into an MBA program without work exp. This is the time you will need to carefully chose what you like and what you want to be in future.

First hand, I suggest you take up the personality assessment test available on this website. There is a psychometric assessment available on this website and taking it up, you could find yourself with some clarity. In principle, try asking yourself with these questions.

1. Do you like working with people, that requires a lot of interaction on a day to day basis?
If yes, you are apt to studying Human resources.
A Human resources job can offer you roles like sourcer, recruiter, Performance manager, pay roll, trainer, training and development, and many more. For a crisp idea, look at this picture below.


2. Do you like working with numbers on your future work assignments?
If yes, you are suited to accounting and finance careers. A career in accounting and finance can give you roles like auditing, finance manager, accounts manager and investment manager. BIG 4 companies like PWC, KPMG, E&Y, Deloitte are the destinations for these lines. For better idea, see this picture on the type of careers you are likely to pursue with Finance and accounts stream.

3. Do you like to be involved in deciding where your company's products need to be sold ? Do you like to be a trend setter?
If yes, Marketing is the right option for you.
A degree with Marketing will give you a variety of options like Market analyst, product analyst, industry analyst, consumer analyst and much more. For an insight, look into this picture on the types of role you are likely to pursue in marketing.

4. Do you like working on assignments across national borders? Are you happy to travel abroad frequently officially? Do you like working on a non-routine assignment?
If yes, you are suited to studying International business and strategic management specializations. You are more likely to land up in Consulting roles if you choose this. This line pays you very high compared to other lines of MBA. The work profile is also enjoyable as you dont follow a routine work and you have new responsibilities and challenges coming up every day. A consultant career is illustrated in the below pic.

I hope this briefing will help you better. Please write back if you require further help. Thanks.

Good luck.
