2. Exposure to New Topics
Dual specialization means more exposure and more exposure leads to more knowledge. A student is able to tap in to vast domains simultaneously. They develop distinct domain know-how and perform different tasks simultaneously with equal efficiency.
3. Placements
One of the biggest benefit is that candidates are eligible to sit for various companies during placements. Knowledge in two domains means you can apply for at least two kind of profiles.
3. Increased Job Opportunities
Like placements, candidates benefit tremendously with dual specialization in two different domains. So while looking for employment opportunities, one can apply to a wide variety of roles.

Another advantage of dual specialization is making a (comparatively) smooth career shift. For instance, one decides to pursue MBA in Marketing and Finance. Thereafter, the candidates goes on to work in sale and marketing domain. After a few years, candidates can make a shift to finance domain.
