Choosing a Specialization? Well I have a traditional route to explore that. Asking questions till the end
Do you have a liking for number crunching?
Do you like to work in teams or u like to work alone?
Do you find it easy to convince people to do what you want?
Do you have a creative mind?
Do you like travelling?
Do you find it easy to talk to strangers?
Apart from this the general wisdom says
1. You will be having introductory subjects from all streams in your first year, and probably thus will have some idea of each stream before you need to select a stream. You will know what you can extend and apply practically and what you have a tough time even understanding... I was personally suffering in OB
2. Based on your prior workex or grad degree, you may have developed a liking/dislike.
2. Maybe your insti. may have some criteria for specialisation, for the hotly contested streams...like its possible that if a particlar stream has more applicants than seats, your Bschool may decide a filter...be aware of these criteria if any, ask the current students if you would like to...
3. If you still feel you are indifferent choosing among streams...then your BSchool will be known best for a particular stream, have the best faculties, or maybe one stream has the best placements among all streams...to be on a safe side you may want to major in that stream then...
4. In case you have a Major/Minor spec. concept, you would do well to diversify risk and choose a good minor spec....enquire with current students that maybe some good companies may place a preimum on majors spec. as opposed to minors spec....then take a decision...
5. The world is random.
6. Read a few Why Consulting? Why Marketing blogs forums articles and see if they stir your soul.
To answer the last part:-
Go to the career services page of the website and look for the jobs being posted there by seeking recruiters. It will give you the exact info you are looking for. Which college? What profile? Job description offered?
You can also look at some of the past MBA grads and try to explore their profile through people searching. Look for people with whom you find profile resemblance.
