“In these jobs, an MBA degree will help you run the fast track in the rat race!”

Getting your dream job after MBA can be a tall task, which may come with a lot of hurdles. The placement process is sometimes as convoluted as the CAT question paper itself! However, it is not just getting the dream job that counts, but actually having the requisite skill set to excel in that dream. In most cases, the jobs after MBA start at the bottom rung, with you having to work yourself tirelessly towards the top of the corporate ladder. However, there are a handful of dream jobs where a degree from some of the best MBA colleges in India, such as NMIMS or SP Jain will actually help in the path to the top.

‘Living the Dream(s) after MBA.’

There are many dream jobs, but living the dream will depend ultimately on the individual. Getting a job after MBA in any of these four streams, however, provides a nice cushioned career path, with almost guaranteed results. All you have to make sure of is that your chosen MBA specialization (MBA Finance, MBA Marketing, MBA HR or MBA Operations) is in line with your career aspirations. To make it slightly easier for you, we have recommended the suggested specialization with the respective dream jobs.

‘MBA in Finance –Financial Analyst jobs after MBA’

PRAQTISE Fact File: One of the best MBA colleges in India for finance is IIM Calcutta. The finance program in the college is well known for academic and placement superiority.

Financial Analysts need to be insightful with plenty of analytical ability. They must be on their toes for emerging trends in the markets. They must have excellent communication skills and above all, need to be smart (almost to a point of being arrogant). Arrogance and communication skills are usually very different after the MBA degree. They do not remain the same as the fish market style of GD-PI during CAT preparation. In fact, after MBA, the individual usually becomes polished and confident of talking in public forums. It emphasizes the importance of simple things, like reading business newspapers and insight papers by established academic institutions.

Bagging the right job with the right degree backing, could open limitless possibilities in this field.

 ‘The Marketing MBA – Marketing Manager jobs after MBA.’

Not only does this mean significantly higher compensation than your peers, but it also means working with some of the biggest brands, such as Procter and Gamble or Coca-Cola.

Marketing management as one of the dream jobs after MBA

The marketing manager role involves overseeing the promotion and maintaining the image of a business line/product/service or brand. Depending on the job, hey may be managing the marketing of a whole line of business, or that of a particular product. MBA colleges produce marketing specialists who influence people’s lives daily, with the consumers being blissfully unaware!

To excel in this domain, one must have a fresh perspective, stellar presenting skills and above all a creative bent of mind. While some argue that creativity while studying for MBA, the degree is what equips one with the necessary technical capabilities. Extracurricular activities are the ideal outlet for your creative energy. Recruiters do prefer students who balance academic and extracurricular endeavours . So go for a student council position or join one of the various committees and student governing bodies to showcase the creative nature of the MBA. That is where it will really help if the student sees himself as a marketing guru.

Backed by technical knowledge of HR concepts, the MBA in HR is unstoppable if he or she plays their cards right and leverages upon their MBA experience.

“List of colleges offering MBA in Marketing in India.”

‘I want to start preparing for entrance exams and apply for MBA once I finish my graduation’ said Kapil to Raman.

‘Wow! That’s great, Kapil’ said Raman. ‘Which field do you plan to do MBA in?’

‘I am sure that I want to do MBA in marketing and I want to do it from one of the top colleges in India’ replied Kapil. ‘But I am confused which are the top MBA colleges in India for marketing.’ ‘I know about most of the colleges, but I don’t know which of them ranks the best in marketing.’

‘Thanks, Raman, you’re a true friend’ said Kapil.

TopColleges after MBA inMarketing

It is a normal tendency of the students to be confused about which field to chose or which college to do MBA from. Kapil is a student with the same dilemma.

Marketing is a means to match the marketing resources of a firm like product, distribution, advertising and pricing to the consumer needs. It is the most active part of any organisation. It deals with understanding consumer needs, transforming it into products and services, promoting it and offering it back to the customer.

Technology has developed, and so has marketing. The newer approach of marketing employs the use of internet.  This is also called Online marketing, digital marketing, or internet marketing. This new style of marketing might not be as prevalent in India as in the western countries, but India is also getting there gradually. The scope for digital marketers in India is great right now.

There are a lot of renowned colleges in India when it comes to MBA in Marketing . The most renowned of all are the IIMs which give students world class infrastructure and facilities. They give students a platform to develop competency and interpersonal skills and help them in becoming competent professional managers.

Marketing is very huge concept and can be combined with lot of other management profiles

“Perks of studying at some of the best B-schools in India.”

Top companies like Mahindra and Mahindra, to attract attention and create excitement among students of top notch B-schools, organise competitions like ‘Mahindra War Room’. This competition requires students to possess a problem solving approach. The team with the best strategy gets a pre-placement offer at the company. You could also be the next winner of ‘Mahindra War Room’ if you give it a try.

PRAQTISE FACT FILE: The top B-schools in India, rather than employing the typical way of teaching, use methods like case studies, group work, field visits, role-plays, seminar, and lectures. This helps in fostering characteristics like problem solving and decision making in the students.  This is definitely the best way to go about the course. Why you ask? That is  since marketing focuses on ground and practical realities and not theoretical models.

MBA in Marketing, being the flagship course in many of the colleges, makes the competition stiffer. It seems that it is more difficult than getting into MBA Finance at times.

So, is it going to be easy to get there? – No, it’s not so easy.

Is it impossible? –It surely is not impossible.

Kapil will soon start his preparations for the entrance exams. In order to help him, his friend, Raman compiled a list of some colleges in India that offer MBA in Marketing considering factors like faculties, exposure, placement, location and facilities.
