There are plenty of MBAs - HR (full time) who are without jobs. Keeping that in view, acquiring this qualification by distant education does not truly enhance your prospects, though your past experience will certainly be useful in getting a suitable job in the Personnel & Admin department of some organization. Compared to that MBA - Finance, though in line with your graduation in commerce, may not help much in your career growth due to lack of relevant experience. You may have to go in for an entry level position in the Finance field.
Keeping the above in view, your preference should be for HR and your focus should be on the application of your academic knowledge to your current job so that your 'earn while you learn' motto benefits your present employer also. If, however, you are doing your MBA merely with the job change objective, the prospects for immediate growth may not be so bright.
Try to introspect & you will get the right answer.

Hi,
Just want to add considering your experience and inclination towards HR subjects, you may think on completing MBA in HR.... because in long run.. you should do the job which you like and love then you will enjoy your life too..... and the job which you don't like and you are only doing it for the namesake.

Dear Rinsys,
I see that in your questions lie your answers. Yes, I can see that you have more affinity towards HR but are confused since many have advised you for Fin. I believe in one principle that there are many professions, some are in so called 'demand'. But the basic rule is that if you are good at what you do, you will always have a good job no matter what the job market conditions. And for that you need to know what is your aptitude and what you will love doing everyday. If you do not enjoy your job, you will never be good at it, no matter how much that degree is in demand. Many here have given good advises to you, and I don't want to be repetitive here. Never be a mediocre in a JOB that has good demand, as you will be just that a - mediocre in that field, instead be excellent in the field and YOU will be always in demand.

Dear Rinsys
I absolutely agree with ankita . i have recently completed my MBA post graduation in HR stream only and right now nurturing my roots in the field of HR.
i was also in a dilemma 1 year back which you are in right now.
My humble suggestion to you is better opt for HR specialization because as you are already into administration side,it would be an added advantage for you to have a bright future.
As some of our friends said MBA-FINANCE woulds be a better choice....it might be a better choice with your graduation in commerce stream and prominent command over Accounting packages(FOCUS,WINGS,ERP,TALLY).
I observed the same case with some of my friends with MBA FINANCE specialization......Any company may hire an accounting graduate for general accounting purpose and for auditing purpose only.
So rather than choosing highly qualified(as per degree MBA-FINANCE) they are opting for commerce background students
and for auditing purpose they are preferring CA graduates to MBA graduates.
Now a days companies are more economical.......They are now into cost cutting approach...Instead of hiring a high profile candidate and paying them more they are selecting a candidate with less attention towards pay and more intention to work.
Rhinoramanan has given a valuable example about regular education and distance education.it doesn't matter in which manner we seek education..At the end of the day work matters.
Finally All River ( waters) reach ocean whether it is drain or Rain
Ankita can please give an elaborate explanation regarding bench marking (new)technique in the HR trends.

Hi poorna,
thanks to take interest in it. honestly i do not have great idea on it but can say this because i somewhat worked on it in my internship.
If you are aware these days Companies show that they are at CMMI or PCMMI level 1 (to 5).
I do not know which is the best and which is basic but the levels are decided by benchmarking various things of organization (do not know much details)
Also as HR is looked at as a cost center, there is also benchmarking of HR activities taking place or being invented. We call it Metrics or Balanced Score Card.
So while benchmarking HR activities we need to trace down and present in numbers the tasks we do. Formulae has to be made based on the kind of work we do and those could be benchmarked. We can compare our year-on-year results and can also compare it with other companies.
However please note that it is not yet practiced by all. This is a thought process and it would take its due course before it is implemented by at least major people.
Hope it helped :)
