Question on Post-MBA Management Consulting Recruiting/Hiring

Do MBA students interview for a specific service within a consulting firm? That is, do they interview for a position in one of the firms services, such as human capital, energy, supply chain, etc?

If so, do some services have less competition than others?

If no, are candidates asked about which specific industry/service they'd be interested in and would it even matter?
