In terms of peer group, the MBA peer group is dominated by engineers, CAs, commerce graduates and in my two years of MBA from an IIM I didn't find any lawyer in the batch so it might be difficult from a placement perspective as recruiters typically tend to very conservative in terms of shortlisting and may not want to take chance with someone who is not typical profile of a usual cohort. As recruiters also have time pressure to select candidates on the days of placement they tend to go for candidates with similar background as their other existing employees so for consulting companies it would be engineers and CAs with excellent academic record etc
Stop blindly worshiping muh coUntrY and you'll see the actual facts.
