Basis for Choosing an MBA Specialization
In the world of management education which is bugged with myriad choices, two important
aspects make a huge difference in the end - the institution and the specialization. Choosing a
specialization is the only question that keeps toiling around in the brains of MBA students
during the first two semesters. Following are some points that should be kept in mind while
deciding on a specialization..
Know your strengths and do a self-analysis of things you are good at. Know the fields your
preferred B-School is popular. There are multiple specializations available today but it’s
important that you choose your field of specialization based on your personality, skills, and
career goals. But, what you’re interested in is the most important factor to be considered.
There are many core functions such as business leadership, marketing, finance or HR
depending on your skills. Initially, you must focus on how the specialization will boost your
career, and whether you can expect long term employability, rather than being carried away
with here-today-gone-tomorrow specializations.
Learn about the salary figures of your business school for every specialization. But, do not let
the salary structure be the only criteria if you’re really serious about your MBA. If salary
figures are great for a specialization but you are too weak to grasp and perform in that vertical,
do not choose it. Only if you get paid for what you enjoy doing, you can utilize your skills in
the best possible manner. This way, you can benefit yourself as well as the organization you
are associated with.
Learn more about the faculty who will be teaching you the respective subjects. Consider all
these factors and then come to a conclusion. Early in the course of management education, you
must deeply analyze the contents covered under each specialization. This will help you in
choosing the right specialization, developing specific skills and in making an informed career
choice at the right time.

To conclude, the combination of the specialization and the association with a particular
industry or sector makes a certain amount of difference in terms of individual success or
mediocrity. But let us be assured of the fact that whatever specialization we choose, it will
require considerable hard work to excel and succeed which will help you transform from
competent professionals to inspired business leaders.
Here are just a few reasons why internships are investments in your future:
1) Real world experience: Joining a company as an intern gives you the opportunity to work
hands on in a professional environment. Internships help by teaching you more about the career
path you are pursuing. Think of it like this – internships are a way to test drive possible jobs
and explore different career options.
2) Networking: Internships often give you the opportunity to attend meetings and events. By
interacting with professionals you gain new connections and learn how to communicate in a
professional environment. Personally, my internships have introduced me to a lot of useful
resources and have given me the opportunity to meet a variety of professionals in my field.
Networking has helped me acquire references and find new job opportunities. Internships can
even provide you with a professional mentor.
3) Resume Builder: As a college student I know the importance of a strong resume. Without
a solid resume it can be tougher to be considered for a position. And how can you have a strong
resume without any experience? Internships are key to building experience as a student or
recent graduate. Employers are much more likely to hire someone with internships and work
experience rather than someone with a generic resume, lacking experience.

4) Time Management: As an intern you'll become a master of time management. When you're
working in a fast paced professional environment you need to know every minute counts. Time
management is vital in every circumstance whether you're attending meetings, finishing tasks
on deadlines, making phone calls et al.
5) Career Foundation: Internships provide you with the building blocks you need for your
future. Many internship opportunities help set the foundation for your career. It is important
that you choose you internships based on your interests and career prospects. As an intern you
have the opportunity to get your foot in the door with a company.
The experiences we go through are what shape us. Your internship will not only encourage
personal development, but also greater understanding of self. To know yourself is to know your
goals and how to best achieve them. Finding this level of clarity is difficult, but sometimes all
it takes is trying someone new, out of your comfort zone.
8) Gain confidence: Internships allow you to test out specific techniques learned in the
classroom before entering the working world. It’s an opportunity to apply what you have
learned in a safe environment where mistakes are expected – rather than learn the hard way in
your first job out of college.
• To offer the opportunity for the young students to acquire on job the skills, knowledge,
attitudes, and perceptions along with the experience needed to constitute a professional
identity.

Guide allocation and SIP inputs: Students would be allocated an internal SIP guide as per
their specialization. Respective guides will have an interaction with their SIP mentee for
putting in place the communication mechanism between then when they are away at SIP and
also establish the time lines for the submission of requisite documents.
Placement Cell Session: Before the students will proceed for the SIP, placement will hold a
session with the students to update them on the relevance of doing good SIP and its relation
with final placement and / or the possibility of getting a Pre Placement Offer (PPO).
