A regular MBA program empowers a student with knowledge which can be applied in any sector/ industry of one's choice. The students graduating from these programs secure jobs in different domains/industries.

On the other hand, a sectoral MBA's syllabus is designed keeping in mind specific requirements of 1-2 sectors/industries

Strength and weakness of Sectorial MBA:

Strengths

Studying about a particular sector of your choice provides you the expertise on the subject
You are ready to face and meet the demands of the market after the completion of your course
You get to study the specific domain of your choice rather than taking a holistic lesson and worry about your career path after the completion of the course.

Weaknesses

Your knowledge base gets narrow owing to learning about a particular sector
You do not have much options in terms of pursuing career
If you are not sure about your choice of specialization and opt for a particular sector specific MBA, it will hamper your entire career unlike general MBA where you can choose specialization in second year and it's easier to switch the specialization in your career as well
