Thank you, Ankita, for your valuable comments.
I want to tell you that my graduation was in BBA, so it included all subjects such as Accounts, HRM, Marketing, Taxation, Computers, Business Management, and Laws, etc. Therefore, I can say that I have a vast knowledge about accounts and all other subjects as well.
Secondly, I am currently working in accounts and am very well-versed in Excel, with some knowledge of Tally as well.

Dear Spandana and Mamta,
Regardless of the specialization that has to be taken in the subsequent semester, a good MBA degree equips one to take up any field in Management. That is the very purpose of an MBA course.
As far as the specializations are concerned, at times, in a good B-school, they are often dictated by the following:
1. Grades of other students opting for the courses: Many such courses have limited seats, and irrespective of the interest of a particular student, these seats are assigned based on grades achieved in previous semesters.
2. Ease of scoring: Smart students of top B-schools know that what matters in the Final Campus Placement with Top Companies is their CGPA. So irrespective of their interest or aptitude, they select specializations in which they can score well and are ahead of their colleagues.
3. Lack of knowledge and experience: Students in B-schools lack the experience to choose between streams that would be particularly suited to them.
Moreover, generally good companies do not strictly hire freshers or junior-level employees based on the specialization they have done. In case one has relevant and useful experience in another functional area, they can still be considered.
What it means is, if a student has specialized in Marketing and Finance but has had the opportunity to work in HR and has substantial experience in it and wishes to pursue it further, they can continue in the area of HR.
An MBA is meant to be a qualification, and specialization indicates the area of your interest. MBA and specialization are not meant to be a disqualification.
Since you both are in the initial stages of your careers, there is no penalty on a rethink or reassessment of your strength and interest. Please do not get discouraged by contrarian views. Moreover, both of you are free to pursue further qualifications in pursuit of your field of interest.
Warm regards.

Dear All,
Please accept my apologies for the late reply. Thank you all for your consideration and valuable suggestions. I am really happy to join this site's Communications family.
In the past, I tried for accounting-based jobs, but I failed as I don't have good knowledge in accounting. Therefore, I have worked for many companies in different roles like Telecaller, Assistant Professor, HR, and Admin.

Dear All,
Please accept my apologies for the late reply. Thank you all for your consideration and valuable suggestions. I am truly delighted to join this site's Communications family.
In the past, I attempted to secure accounting-based jobs, but I was unsuccessful due to my limited knowledge in accounting. Consequently, I have worked in various roles such as a Tele caller, Assistant Professor, and in HR & Admin positions.
Now, I have come to the realization that accounting is not my destined path. I am determined to embark on a fresh career in Finance and enhance my accounting skills. I am keen on pursuing a career in SAP (FICO).
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Ms. Spandana,
As you mentioned that you are from a middle-class family and cannot afford further studies, your MBA in Finance is a good qualification. If you aim for a long, healthy, and robust career path, consider pursuing opportunities in the finance department rather than HR.
