Planning to do MBA

Many of us might have had heard about the "White collar jobs" tag used to be assigned to people in banks since Banking jobs were considered to be coolest and secure. Now a days after liberalization of norms by Government of India Banking sector was opened for every player that made the sector more competitive and more demanding to work. 

However there is one profile that has not lost the White collar tag even today i.e the Human resources. This department is most critical to source and deploy the resources as per the company's goals and objectives. The human resources are the torch bearers of any organisation who can elevate the business in any sector. Hiring human resource, managing their welfare, monitoring their performance and driving them towards company's objective can decide the company progress. So the HR department is key hub for aligning strategies.

To get into this profile, MBA in human resources is a must. Graduates from HR are in great demand from different sectors. Pay wise this department personal gets paid equally at par with other critical departments like production/Sales & Marketing.  The conventional MBA courses like Finance/Marketing/Materials Management are also in demand but MBA Finance is tougher than HR. MBA (Marketing) is of huge demand but the marketing career as a brand is not seen as a lucrative as it should be. Marketing is quite challenge career since it is target oriented and works on tight deadlines. Sales & marketing demands lot of travel which may not sink with budding graduates who are planning to do an MBA. 

So if you are planning to do an MBA please try to set your preference as below: 

1. HR
2. Material Management
3. Supply chain Management
4. Finance
5.Operations
6.Systems and so on.
