Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing well.

Yes, it is possible. However, you may pick particular electives for your first MBA then specialise in one main topic for your second MBA (in the field you want to pursue post-MBA).

It is an excellent approach for those considering a career shift to get a second MBA, since it provides significant benefits.

From the perspective of the universities : While some institutions do not accept students for a second MBA at all, there are a significant number of colleges across the world that would enable you to pursue a second MBA if you can persuade them as to why you need to do so.
The decision to pursue a double MBA is based on your objectives and ambitions. While one MBA is the standard, students in countries such as India are more likely to complete their first MBA without any prior job experience and then discover they need to do a second MBA.


For students, it is important to understand that a second MBA will need additional time, money, and effort, in addition to a reduction in earning potential (as previously stated). If you are considering a second MBA, ask yourself if you are doing so out of pure desperation to get away from your current job (in which case, consider whether other options might suffice) or whether you are making a more deliberate career move (if yes, how does the 2nd MBA fit into your career plans in the short run and in the long run).

Two cents: Because a second MBA will need more time and money, I recommend that you use the additional time and money to improve your GMAT/GRE scores and pursue the second MBA at an internationally recognised institution.

Hope you got the answer to your question. Incase of any queries, feel free to question. Have a great day!
