Deepanshu, Its totally depends upon your area of interest.CA opens doors to private practice, corporate jobs in accounting and finance and consulting while MBA opens the doors to large number of functions and fields in corporate jobs as per the specialisation done. CA is offered only by ICAI while MBA is offered by about 1000 colleges in India. CA is far tougher to clear as he passing percentage is less than 5% You must choose MBA, only from universities of high repute like Iims, SPJMER, FMS Delhi, Great lakes Chennai, SIBM, IBS, ISB Hyderabad, UBS Chandigarh and LPU Punjab. Both have their own pros and cons. I did MBA from LPU and LPU is helping me grow professionally and personally with its career-oriented programs and support.I would say ,The Business School of LPU is accredited from (ACBSP) Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs from the USA ensuring quality education and industry experienced faculties, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA.LPU has recently Marked among Top 50 Best Management Institutes by NIRF ranking 2020. Also, LPU has won National Employability Award 2020. University have Collaboration/Tie up with the companies like NSE, Safe Educate, ICICI Direct, HDFC, etc. to give students the opportunity for pursuing live projects and/or professional certifications like NCCMP, NCFM etc. Students get opportunity to Industry desired workshops on Digital Marketing, Business Analytics, Stock Market Operations, Life Skills, Creativity and Innovation, and Leadership to make students industry ready. The university also gives us the opportunity to get real-life exposure through various training programs and an internship, which is mandatory for all. Professors go for value-based education which is something we as professionals would require in our career. Guest lectures by experts and some really successful people are arranged by our department to widen our scope of learning.Most of faculty members are from IIM or from elite B- Schools (India/Abroad. They have decade of experience. Faculty was really helping. Even they helped her after regular university hours for her projects. If you are concerned about placements. There are plenty of career opportunities after MBA in different sectors of industries like Banking and Finance, Investment Banking, multinationals, foreign banks, public sector undertakings, in effect the whole corporate sector offer bright opportunities to management graduates.

The future is definitely bright in CA but, everyone can't do this as it's one of the most dedicating job of a nation. You should be very good at aptitudes. You should have full control over calculations. MBA, otherwise, also gives you a higher designation and worthiness. So, choose which merits suits you. All the best.

Piyush Baid · Answer

I'll talk about CA first. It is a well-known professional programme. If you pass the CA you'll obtain a job. However, recent Statistics show that the CA results are becoming more difficult each year. Becoming a CA is not simple. Don't give up on MBA even if you fail in your first 1.2 attempts because it demands commitment, diligence, and honesty. If you take the CAT and achieve a high percentile, you may be accepted into reputable universities and offered employment. The CAT exam is challenging and demands effort. Comparatively speaking, CA is harder. So, my dear buddy, your decision is entirely up to you. Whichever of them you choose. Just have faith in yourself. Work hard, and success will be yours. Best.

MBA in Finance, being a postgraduate degree in management has a very wide scope. Graduates can find jobs in some of the top private companies of their respective fields as well as in banking and accounting firms in India. CA can be pursued by a student who has just completed Class 12th, graduation or postgraduate. So, in my opinion choosing to do MBA with specialisation is a better choice, rest it depends on your interest for which field you want to go for. The vast scope of MBA in finance in the form of asset management, financial advisory, retail banking, planning and taxation, accounting, equity analyst, risk management, business analyst, sales and trading, personal finance, insurance, etc. Joining LPU will open a door of lots of opportunities for you in terms of industrial exposure, internships, placements, workshops etc. LPU is one of the best private universities in the country with world-class infrastructure, modern facilities and highly qualified faculty.

So, with these choices you get the International exposure and the opportunities to get the exposure for abroad as well. Placements: Placements offered by the LPU for MBA course are very good. The minimum salary package offered is 5 LPA, and the highest salary package offered till now is 42 LPA.

Yash Singhal · Answer

In my opinion, an MBA definitely has more scope than a CA due to the following reasons: Most of the IIMS and other good B schools prepare you for general management. They teach you the basic skills needed for each kind of management role, and then you are allowed to specialize in your desired stream later. This gives you a much broader exposure, while a CA restricts you more or less to an accounting role. If you have an MBA, chances are your career progression will be faster as compared to those who don't. This should be true in most of the careers. An MBA is extremely hectic, and the rigor of the programme teaches you a lot of extremely essential skills like time management and hard work. The companies know about the rigor of MBA programmes and value these skills. In case you want to become a CEO or a top manager, it is practically very difficult to reach that position in today's competitive world if you don't have an MBA. The kind of professional networks you build during an MBA will stay with you for the rest of your life and will help you whenever you need professional help or favors. Note that I have very limited knowledge of CA so take my words with a pinch of salt. My answer is based mostly on the interactions I have had with some of my peers at IIMA who are from a CA background.
