Is it beneficial to do an MBA in Pharma Management after completing B. Pharma or an MBA in marketing will be a better option?
—Ajay Bhandari
An MBA in Pharma Management will open up opportunities for you in the Pharmaceutical field and related areas, but a generic MBA with a specialisation will open opportunities not only in the Pharma industry but also other industries. If you want to explore other areas, then opting for a generic MBA will be helpful, but if you want to grow in the pharmaceutical and related industry only, then Pharma MBA will be more suited. Both the areas are different and also require a lot of hard work and conceptual clarity. Introspect on your skills, aptitude and the ultimate career goal that you have set for yourself for making a decision.
