Dear Neel, MBA is more of into Management studies. It has quite a few specialisations. After MA Economics, ideally MBA in Finance will compliment your previous Masters degree. To help students from non finance background, MBA will cover the basics of Economics and Finance. This is where you will have advantage over the other students. Because you had those subjects in your curriculum, you can score better marks. MBA is all about Management and you should know how to manage that particular stream which you have joined in. There are no particular skills that you need to have to join MBA. You need to qualify for the entrance examinations. You learn everything on the go. And after the course, what you learn in the class will be different from what you have to put to practise in work place. So you have to go there with an open mind and clean slate. You learn and unlearn the skills based on the environment of work or theory.
