What should I do among MCA and MBA? Can you help?
I have completed my BCA from IGNOU and am now planning to do Masters. I am confused about MCA or MBA and the thing is even if I qualify for CAT, will I be selected in any IIMs or any good private university because my UG is from IGNOU? Could you please help?

This would depend on your interest areas and career aspirations. In case you intend to pursue a career in Technical / research / academics area then MCA/ M.Sc. ( IT) is better, However if you want to move into general management the MBA is better. -
It all depends on your skills and inclination. If you want to continue in technical field or you want to shift to management field. Getting into IIM is based on your academics and entrance exams scores CAT scores. To appear for CAT scores you should do Bachelor's degree with minimum 50% marks.
