Dear Pravin,

Before getting admission into MBA course, often a candidate comes across a choice to pick one MBA specialisations that would serve as the foundation for his/her career growth. There are several specialisations which being offered by the B-schools in India and globally. However, the decision is yours to pick and choose one MBA specialisations among many at the end of the day! Among all the top specialisations that are high in demand, MBA in finance and MBA in Marketing are two specialisations that are quite financially rewarding for the MBA aspirants. Making a decision to choose one between the two requires great deal of time and thought.

I did MBA in Marketing  from LPU and LPU is helping me grow professionally and personally with its career-oriented programs and support.I would say ,The Business School of LPU is accredited from (ACBSP) Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs from the USA ensuring quality education and industry experienced faculties, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA.LPU has recently Marked among Top 50 Best Management Institutes by NIRF ranking 2020. Also, LPU has won National Employability Award 2020.

The university also gives us the opportunity to get real-life exposure through various training programs and an internship, which is mandatory for all. Professors go for value-based education which is something we as professionals would require in our career. Guest lectures by experts and some really successful people are arranged by our department to widen our scope of learning.

Most of faculty members are from IIM or from elite B- Schools (India/Abroad. They have decade of experience. Faculty was really helping. Even they helped her after regular university hours for her projects.

No doubt LPU adopts new technologies faster than others they update their curriculum after each semester by taking feedback from the students and also to meet the latest standards.

Under this programme, the students study a part of the programme in a university(partner university) in a different country and earn the academic credits from that university.

I Hope this answer will help you take right decision!

if I talk about the colleges for the MBA I think LPU is the best for it. I did MBA from LPU in Finance. My experience at LPU has been phenomenal.When i joined by B-School, i was very clear about my specialization (Finance) from the beginning as i was from a commerce background, had good understanding of the field and most important, was keenly interested in the area of finance. So it was a fairly easy choice for me. I didn’t even think about my past experience and money.

Hello Pravin,

It will totally depend on your career aspirations and interest whether to choose marketing or Finance. Both of the streams offers excellent opportunities two talented people. You can refer to the brief description of the courses.

MBA marketing if you you are interested in entertainment, media, promotions, advertisement etc. then MBA is appropriate for you

MBA finance is a good field which requires Bans to possess skills in mathematics, Economics and Financial theory all of which are covered in grade detail in finance degree, specialisation of work.

If you like numbers then finance is a good choice for you. It is relatively tougher when compared to  marketing and sales are for creative and street smart people majorly.

I hope your question has been answered properly.

All the best!

95% students only opt MBA for Money, money and only Money. So if it is so then why to choose Marketing when you can get a finance which in turn provide you more money with less amount of work.

If you are good in Communicating and Networking with people then you can opt for Marketing but if you are good in numbers game and want to work less and not socialize much then Finance is well suited for you.
