A specialization in any field be it Information Management or Finance, will limit your job prospects whereas a general PGDM will keep your options open. By choosing the IM specialization you can expect the following roles

• Consulting (strategy, operations, technology)
• Sales/pre-sales (software)
• Product managers
• IT managers (corporate IT roles)
• Analytics
• Banking

If these are exactly the kind of roles you were looking for, then specialization in IM is not a bad option. But if you want to explore more fields then PGDM is best for you.

It’s important to note that these roles will automatically be offered to you even if you choose the MDI Gurgaon PGDM course in addition to other job profiles in Marketing, Finance, Ops, etc.

So choosing PGDM will keep your options open, whereas choosing SP Jain will limit your options as you have to stay committed to your specialization both in terms of what you learn and what jobs you are looking for. However, if you are choosing SP Jain because of personal preferences like location, batch size, brand name, or course, then it is altogether a different topic.
