Moreover do the students of a particular course say Public service find career opportunities/placements in that specific sector?

If Yes can u pls throw some light on Public service specialisation.

[NoopS]

the no. of seats are not fixed in sectors' courses... these r taken in 2nd yr as electives.

as far as placements are concerned, yes u do find a career in the most of the services sector, eg. NGOs, Infra, energy, telecom, and other public services ...the other major service sectors being IT/ITES, financial services, aviation, retail etc... like we had Kingfisher coming in for aviation sector..

hope i answer u.

hey puys,

there were some queries relating how to write SOP, for that, refer

(Queries abt FMS - MBA(MS) 2007)http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/other-exams-xat-fms-jmet/17819-queries-abt-fms-mba-ms.html

also, for ppl applying to MBA(MS), there's a separate question regd why u want to pursue a programme focused towards service sector. here are some pointers...

be simple n clear...avoid being abstract or too specific, if u are, then be sure 'WHY'...always try to connect your achievements - acads or work-ex with your goal.
be sure about how much service sector contributes to GDP, and why is it important, and how and why u can relate to it.

for further doubts, lemme know.

Thanks Noop

I was thinking abt the same

I think the Question on Career Goals and that on Services that I m inclined towards are more or less the same, are they?

For example in my case I m applying only for MBA(MS) and I know very well that If I get in to it, I will study public services from SEs and HR from FEs bcoz these attract me a lot and I can give some reasons to support this.
So should I mention about this in both my SOPs.

Pls help

In why MBA, just mention as to why u r interested in doin an MBA. fo MS course, emphasize y services particularly.....

just show that u r inclined towards services sector as services is the was economy is gng. if u hv work ex highlight that coz most probably ur work ex wud b in services sector (which includes IT/ITES, banking, consultancy, healthcare, aviation, even civil services etc etc). and another advice, mention a word or 2 about FMS being the first to identify this demand supply gap for managers in svc sector and started this pioneering course. who dusnt like ego boosting!
