Hai Mamatha,
If you ask this question in HR forum, you may get suggestions to take HR and viceversa with finance forums.
Go according to your personal interest. Thats all.
Because, if your interest is in HR and as per your observations and suggestions, if you go for finance, even you get a job, you wouldn't enjoy the job satisfaction and VICEVERSA..
So, choose according to your interests. Finally a word, neither HR nor Finance people are idle for long time without opportunities...
All the best...
Thanks & Regards

From your post i believe following
Finance is all about numbers. If you look at Balance Sheet, P&L statement, all other things - numbers, numbers and more numbers.
If you're good with numbers, have good analytical & numerical skills and have affinity for finance, who can stop you from dreaming finance?
All you need to prove is you're confident with finance. Unless you are confident and have faith on yourself, none of the interviewers be able to have confidence in you and trust your abilities.
Again I say do what you love to do. Do not go by crowd. Do not take up finance because your friends suggested so or take up HR as someone who you seeked advice from suggested you so. Go where you heart takes you.
Hope it helped :)

From your post i believe following
- You are engineer
- Have affinity for both HR & Finance
- Want to know if Finance / HR has better job prospects
Both have equal opportunity. All you need to do is wait and have patience. Sure there's easy placement option for finance knowing that there's campus placement, but if we remove the concept of campus placement, there's not much different in job hunting for either positions.
More so if you find, there are so many people landed up with contradicting job roles as they took up what came their way but later wanted to shift to a role related to their academics.
My institute had campus placement for all specialization and yet only 4 of we 13 were placed. However all of us who weren't placed, including me, were patient enough to wait even for 8-10 months long time before we landed up our jobs. We got eventually many offers not related to us academic wise but we didn't pick up. One of our friend is still unplaced but not demotivated to take up what comes on the way. - Which specialization to take
I would say that no one but only you can answer this question best.
Ask yourself what is your passion and what motivates you.
What would you like to do for the next 30 years and yet never get tired of it.
What is it that would drive you to work every morning before time, no matter how much stressed you are or no matter how late you were last night.
Irrespective of the specialization we take up, I believe we should be doing justice to it. Otherwise it so happens you had passion for something but when life tested you, you gave your passion for everything. - If you'd be accepted for technical finance related jobs if you take up finance.

Hi Ankita,
Being a science student, how can he decide that what is good for him? It is very confusing for a science student as doing MBA is adding value to your profile many times not due to interest/passion for many individuals. These specialization topics can easily be understood by a commerce graduate not by a science graduate. This is my point of view on this.

See if a science student would not have been able to guage, they might perhaps been not allowed for the course. Unless you start the course, sure it is difficult, but science people too know where to walk.
I myself am a science graduate and so am saying this.
Again it is a common belief that a science graduates cannot adjust with finance specialisation because we have never doing accounts, balance sheet, profit & loss, etc. But honestly, my personal observation, most science graduates prefer commerce.
Engineering + MBA(Fin) is a common trend these days if you look at it.
I had done my B.Sc. (I.T.) and had good numerical skills and people suggested me to take up Systems or Finance. However, I knew what I want and took up HR. Not because someone told me I should do HR, not cause someone said how the life would be, but only cause in my heart i felt HR is the only thing that would motivate me each morning to wake up and smile even in the worst conditions.
I was never deterred when someone told me no scope for HR in India. There might not be, but I knew just one thing - Where there's will, There's a way...
............................
Also what would one do if he's given different options by different people?? We can't pursue all right. Ultimately its our decision which should be boiled down to based on what we like and what we want to do...
