Hi,
I would like to suggest you on two matters:
1) Career in BPO sector
2) Your further studies (MBA - HR or Finance)
1) Career in BPO sector - There is a lot of scope to grow in BPO sector. The only thing is you need to hit the right nail. If you are into Admin related job, you can definitely apply to your HR department, so as and when the opportunity arises you shall be considered first. I have seen people growing from customer support to trainer, hr, quality supervisor's and all. Its upto you how you develop that opportunity and make good use of it.
2) Further studies - After reading your post I think you are more of a people's person, which is the first and foremost quality of an HR. But still if u are unsure, you can first go ahead with 1 year part time diploma in HR (Welingkars, NMIMS offers such kind of course). Then you can decide further. Simultaneously you can also take up a junior role job in HR department which will help you explore more and have hands on experience.
Why not engage 1 year to know what interests you rather than spoiling your entire career.
I hope this helps you.
Regards,
Poonam.

@Rhinoraman, dear friend, you are absolutely right and so is Gurgaon HR. In the end its me who has to take a firm decision. However if people want to drop their suggestions then pls let them. I still have one month to decide. Yeah, all the doubts that I had in my mind I already conveyed and now I will not confuse it further or keep on asking for more suggestions but yeah, if someone want to write something on their will or want to advice anything further then I would appreciate and in the end will take decision accordingly. Maybe I or others may get some better inputs/suggestions from more comments made by more people, so let the comments flow in. I request not to ask to stop commenting in the thread.

Hi friend,
I have also worked as an Hr Executive in a company and had a very good experience and learned a many good things from the job, while handling hr related queries I also use to manage admin department so as Mr Saikumar quoted that So far as future is concerned, as long as people are required to run an organisation, HR is too required, and I also agree that HR has many specializations.
My best wishes with you...

It is necessary,no doubt, to decide career options on the basis of it's prospects. But every stream has it's own prospects because they are all necessary to run a business, more so when the business needs to comply with plethora of laws and face new challenges in terms of money, manpower and marketing. What is important is whether you are cut out for that kind of career which means whether you have right aptitude and trait required to fit into the career which you are aspiring for.It needs to be ansewered first.There is no point feeling a square peg in a round hole latter.

Hi Tarun,
I would firstly want you to understand what is your strength. Where does your heart lie? What would you want to do 30-35 years down the line?
Why I want you to know all these is as explained below:
Your friends suggest you to take up sales/marketing as your major in mba because of its scope. Now honestly, sales and marketing are 2 different fields, which you'd get to know eventually in your course period.
Sales is selling your company's product where as marketing is to educate the people about your product. Hope you can see the thin line between the two.
Another thing. Say for example you're good at handling accounts, but take up markteting/sales due to its scope, trust me you'd not be happy throughout your career and would also curse all the people who adviced you to take that up.
Again if you'd ask different people, they'd ask you to go in different direction so the best answer would be available to you from within.
Do the foll for the best answer to come:-
1. List down your strengths on a piece of paper - smallest to biggest. Take your friend's help in order to prepare a list of your strengths.
2. Based on your strengths, decide which way to go.
3. Also list down on a piece of paper all your weakness and negative points.
4. Compare your qualities to the need of the profiles and accordingly take decision... Please note that you're interest level is as important.
The reason to do this is say for example you wish to take up sales or marketing but you lack patience. You wish to work on your projects but can't take it if gets delayed. How'd you be working in sales? If you'd ask the best sales person, you'd find he has immense patience, and lots of hope for future.
A marketing and an HR are people's person. If you don't love to interact with people, you'd not be happy about your profile. If you're not the person who can listen to people's problem, HR would be boring for you.
Its all about your interest backed with the qualities you have...

Curriculum wise there's not much change honestly.
However if you wish to continue further studies and say wish to go for Phd, then PGD becomes a problem. I'm facing a problem searching for a University that'd allow me to register myself for a PhD.
I fail to understand if MBA and PGD are rated equal why is a PGD not accepted for PhD
