Good Morning Chandni,
Job analysis helps in understanding the tasks and responsibilities associated with a job and the competency set required to perform the tasks and fulfill the responsibilities
Job specification provides a complete list of competencies and qualifications required to match the job description.

Dear Chandini ,
Job analysis is consist of Job Description and job specification.
The term Job specification implies minimum acceptable human qualities required for successful completion of a job viz. Age , sex, mental health, experience etc.
Job analysis is the process of analysing the job with respect nature of duties, method and mechanism of carrying out the task , level of supervision & control needed , together with the minimum qualities one should have to discharge the said responsiblity assigned to him/her.

Hi Chandni
Job Analyais - is the process used to collect information about the duties, responsibilities, necessary skills, outcomes, and work environment of a particular job. You need as much data as possible to put together a effective job description.
Job Specification - Job specifications define the characteristics of the activities associated with the job and given in the job description. They describe the skill sets and qualifications that a candidate for the job should possess.

There is actually quite a bit of difference between the two:
Job analysis is a view of the work being done or needing to be done. You are analyzing the position which exists or is being created. You would look at what jobs are being done and how much time each job takes of the total. What responsibilities are involved. Whether or not supervisory duties are involved. How much is clerical or non exempt work. Is the position classified exempt or non exempt? What is the salary for the position. It is a plan and a pre requisite to write the job description. It actually gives you the information to write the job description. Basically it is a fact finding undertaking. I have a job analysis form I use for new job creations and for reevaluating current jobs.
The Job specifications are what is needed to do the job. What skills are needed, what education is needed. Which job within the job needs special skills. Why are the skills needed for that specific part of the job. What education is needed to complete it and what experience is needed. What experience plus education is required. Sometimes it will be 5 years experience or a 4 year degree or something similar. This is the internal analysis of what it actually takes to get the job done broken down by specific jobs and their specific functions and what it takes to perform them.
