Hey Avinash N,
If you are seeking a career that deals with money, an MBA specialization in finance can prove to be invaluable. It is a career field which requires one to possess skills in mathematics, economics, and financial theory, all of which are covered in great detail in a finance degree, specialization or track.
But for MBA Travel and Tourism you must know that Job opportunities after this course includes as marketing / executives or in managerial positions in the tourism and travel industry. Majority of the vacancies are in the private sector. There is great scope for professionally qualified person for starting their own ventures in tourism and travel.
So you must decide yourself that what are you seeking in MBA and then wisely choose your specialization.
Thanks!
Hope it helps.

The following is my opinion after following NSE, BSE, NISM and Indian Stock Markets since past many years and also after undertaking various NISM, NCFM and BCFM exams:
History of NCFM:
NSEs Certifications in Financial Markets (NCFM) are practical oriented examinations developed by NSE. The primary objective of having NSEs Certifications was to ensure a bare minimum knowledge about the financial products, trading systems, etc. And therefore, these certifications were made mandatory by NSE prior to registering its members on the stock exchange. Besides, NSE, as a stock exchange also wanted to educate the securities market participants and the Indian community as a whole about various aspects of Indian Stock Market. They started this initiative on a large scale in the form of NCFM Certifications and were successful in doing so. However, considering the fact that Indian market participants were not so mature and professionalized, the level of difficulty for most of NCFM Certifications were kept at a low level. Soon, it becomes very easy for people to clear these certifications easily. Why NISM was born?
As the number of NCFM exam takers went up, NSE saw these certifications as a money minting machine and decided to continue with its low difficulty level. Other stock exchanges, namely, BSE, MCXSX (now MSEI) also launched similar certifications and made it mandatory for their members to have these certifications before registering on their respective stock exchange. Soon, SEBI sensed that brokers/members were now required to undertake multiple certifications to register themselves on the stock exchange, I.e., NCFM Certification for NSE and BCFM Certification for BSE and so on. SEBI, therefore, took this initiative of having a common certifying body for certification of people working in Indian securities markets and NISM was assigned this responsibility.
Thus, NISM Certifications was born in 2009. What are NISM Certifications? NISM Certification Examinations are the most authentic, practical and mandatory Certifications available for various areas of Indian securities market. The Certifications are mandated by SEBI under SEBI (CAPSM) Regulations, 2007 which itself gives them the necessary credibility. What this means is that all brokers, members, mutual fund distributors, traders, dealers and other market participants who were earlier required to pass the exchange level examination (i.e., NCFM, BCFM, etc.) are now required to pass a single NISM Exam.
