    MBA Colleges in Hyderabad: Specialization Available

    • Postgraduate Level

    Master of Business Administration/ Master of Management Studies/ Post Graduate Diploma in Management

    MBA can be pursued only after graduation is done from any field and giving the entrance test. It is one of the highest in demand professional courses and therefore the number of applications is also high. The process for preparing for MBA starts at the graduate degree level itself. The first step would be finding out where you want to do your MBA from and which entrance exams acceptable for the same. Getting registered for the entrance tests would be the next step. Keeping in mind the dates for these tests and preparing for them is the most important step after that. Once we appear for the test then the process is almost similar at all institutions. Depending on the entrance exam test and the cut-off you will be invited to the next round which would be a group discussion and personal interview round. Remember this is a highly professional course and therefore entrance is highly competitive which requires a lot of hard work and commitment from the student. 

    Even if the course is of two years, the preparation for the entrance test and getting your desired college will take more time. Sometimes students give the entrance exam more than once to get their desired college. 

    The second year of the course lets you choose your specialization. The specialization could be the traditional

    • Finance

    • Marketing

    • Human Resources

    • Information Technology (IT)

    • Operations

    • Or you can choose from the new specializations that are

    • Business Analytics

    • Logistics

    • Health Care

    • Event Management and many others

    Make sure that the non-traditional specialization is available at the college of your choice. It is also safe to go for the traditional once since the scope for a job in these fields is high. At the same time with new businesses opening the need for niche specializations is also on the rise. They may limit your scope in the job markets, but at the same time the specialization creates an edge for you to get a preference over the traditional ones. 

    Part Time MBA or MBA Executive

    This is a highly professional course for already working individuals who want to pursue an MBA degree after gaining some experience, and wish to continue working and studying for the course too.  The classes are held normally after business hours or on the weekends. The course material is the same, but timings are different. This course is ideal for mid-management level executives who want to enhance their career by adding the MBA degree to their resume. The part-time MBA is also pursued by a lot of business owners or entrepreneurs give them that added advantage in running their businesses 

    The entrance exam could be the same or different for this course. Make sure to contact the institute for the same. 

    The same specializations can be pursued here too. Now that you know the field you are working in or you want to change your field, then picking that specialization gives you the added advantage. 

    MBA – Distance Education 

    Due to the popularity of this degree, the distance education format also is very popular among students. The importance of this in the job can’t be judged immediately. But with some prior job experience and the flexibility to pursue this degree from anywhere give you that advantage. Make sure that you pursue this degree from an AICTE approved college of repute. Cost wise this could be the most inexpensive option in MBA. 

    PGDM vs MBA

    Before we get into the diploma category of the course let us understand the major and minor point of this fight

    • PGDM is Post Graduate Diploma in Management

    • MBA is Master is Business Administration

    • Both are popular courses conducted by some of the most reputed high-profile intuitions in the country. PGDM as the name says is a Diploma course and MBA is a Masters degree. 

    • Many people assume that since it’s a diploma course the weightage would be less than the postgraduate degree of MBA.

    • But that is not the case, PGDM is the AICTE approved course conducted by autonomous bodies that are not affiliated to any University. All the IIMs and top B schools of the country conduct the PGDM course. 

    • Whereas an MBA is a masters degree course conducted by an affiliated university or college. The university or college also required UGC and AICTE approval. 

    Other than this there are no major differences in the course and the weightage of the degree you get after finishing. The salary, job market, and placement are almost the same depending on the institute you choose to pursue the course from. 

    Diploma or Certificate courses 

    Lot of these intuitions run short term i.e., one year to 2-year diploma courses of specific specialization. Normally admission to them is on merit basis. These diploma courses are normally conducted in the evening times making them accessible to working professionals or are distance education programs, where you can go to the college on specific days when asked for. Please note these courses are not the same one as the full-time professional course of PGDM. A working professional can take up this course with the specialization he wants or as per his current job.  This course could be a good idea for small business owners, graduates who want to get the experience with a professional short-term diploma before applying for a full-time course.
