While MBA is the most sought after course for students aspiring for a corporate career, Finance and Marketing are the two most popular specialisations that students go for. While a specialisation in Finance means getting a very high-paying job in banks and financial institutions, roles for marketing students are diverse and challenging. Though some students feel that Finance students have a stable market, many feel that Marketing students climb the corporate ladder faster.

It depends sales and marketing are more related to words, thoughts and images.

finance is pure math, practice and dealing with equations and numbers.
