The single major or major-minor conundrum in MBA programmes

The landscape of MBA education in India has changed significantly in recent years, driven by the evolving demands of the industry and changing student expectations. One of the pressing questions facing both educators and students is that of specialisation: whether to pursue a major-minor combination or a more focused single major. Today, many B-Schools offer the option of choosing either a single major specialisation or a major-minor combination, which allows students to gain expertise in one primary area while also acquiring knowledge in a secondary field. For instance, a student pursuing a major in finance with a minor in marketing gains deep expertise in financial management while also understanding the nuances of how financial decisions impact marketing strategies. While a single major can funnel a student toward a highly specific career path, a major-minor combination opens up multiple avenues.
