  • Human resource management

Though there is a separate branch for the whole human resource management process, a marketing manager deals with various people throughout his career and so little HR management skills can be a lifesaver for him/her. A marketing manager usually leads a team and how you treat your subordinate becomes a very important aspect.

  • Economics

Job opportunities after MBA in Marketing:

If you are wondering about what could be the job opportunities after completing MBA in Marketing then let me tell you, you have a lot of them. As long as there is a finance department, sales department, there will be a marketing team.

If a company wants to increase the sales of its product, it needs a well-established marketing team and without a manager, there is no use of any team.

Industries such as retails, hospitality, Information Technology, banking, FMCG, always need an MBA- Marketing graduate to handle all the work professionally. Apart from becoming marketing managers, MBA-Marketing graduates can become brand managers, sales managers, and market research analysts.

Several companies prefer MBA Marketing students over others, like HDFC Bank, TCS, Vodafone, etc.

Average salary package :

Salary packages may vary from one college to another. Marketing students from the Top-B colleges get 10-40 lakh per annum packages.

If you could not get admissions into IIMs, there is no need to lose your hope as still there are various other colleges that offer quality education and good placements.

The average package varies from 3 lakh to 15 lakh in these colleges. SMS Varanasi is among those colleges which not only offers a very good education but also takes placements of its students very seriously and they have a proven record of almost 100 percent placements.

Salary is never a bar for the right candidates, so study hard and get a job and in no time you’ll get your desired package.

Being one of the oldest branches of the MBA, marketing never ceases to attract a young pool of talent. It is still relevant and will be in demand forever. Though digital marketing is replacing the old way of working because more and more businesses are coming online but still, nothing can replace traditional courses of marketing.

So, if you have decided to take Marketing as a branch for your MBA, without giving a second thought, march ahead towards your goals.

Good luck.
