Bachelors of Business Administration BBA is a management degree which teaches about how an organisation works and administration and how to handle the management. But, coming to Computer Science CS it is a technical degree which is all about technology and software. Both are irrelevant degrees which are highly impossible to pursue at single time. When coming to the toughness level of the degrees, Computer Science CS is a tough degree but, after completion, the job offers will be handful (If you pursue in a reputed college only) and whereas, coming to the Bachelors of Business Administration BBA when compared with Computer Science CS it is not so tough and it is a normal degree. But, maximum in India, there is no college where you can pursue Computer Science CS and Bachelors of Business Administration BBA at once. How you'll attend the classes? How you'll give the examinations and what, if internals are at same time for both the degrees? As per Indian law till 2013, pursuing two degrees simultaneously was not legal, but after 2013, it is legal. So, finally coming to the conclusion, pursuing dual degree is not a bad idea. But, the degrees which are been opted I. e. , Bachelors of Business Administration BBA and Computer Science CS is next to impossible. All the best for your future.

It is really a doubtful question for every B.Tech as what he or she can do after B.Tech. There are many options for students to start their career with. They can opt for MBA in finance, marketing, analytics, operations, international business, logistics or supply chain management as a specialisation. So, once the student completes his B.Tech, he must give himself time as what field is best for him or her and if in still a dilemma, can do 2 things. First, if possible do a job and gain work experience and find if a candidate is able to get what he wants or not? Secondly, prepare for CAT and then on the basis of the college which you get, decide which trade is best for you. One of the best things in various colleges is that they provide MBA general for the first year so that a candidate or a B.Tech student is able to decide after the first year that where he or she is able to cope up with and on the basis of that a candidate can decide which field he should opt for.

I am a pass out from Lovely Professional University and have profoundly utilized my time here in shaping my personality along with self-analysis. Unlike other universities, rules and regulations are quite strict here. From academics to extra-curricular activities, thorough support is given by our mentors/seniors, professors, and management. I did MBA from LPU and LPU has helped me grow professionally and personally with its career-oriented programs and support, I would say.

The main topics that you need to focus on are verbal, quant, logical and general knowledge.
Quant also includes DI.
There's a book by Arihant but it's best if you get material from somewhere.
Ideally, you should join Pratham as it's the best institute when it comes to entrance preparation. (Bias towards Pratham as I was a a student there).
Make sure that you are up to date with class 12th maths as that's likely to be asked and it's a section of which most students are scared.
Gk is pretty basic but log on to clatgyaan and check out their yearly compendium.
Verbal is simple, logical reasoning needs a little practice though.
Finally, check out last year's papers on the website to get a fair idea of what your weak areas are and work on them.

The ideal time to pursue an MBA is when you have at least two years of work experience, as this will allow you to fully grasp the industry domains and apply your knowledge of these domains to new modules and concepts that will be covered in class and, ultimately, in the company you will join after completing your MBA. Also, many institutions emphasise the value of job experience by awarding extra weight or points to applicants who have expertise in their fields (with around 2 years of work experience getting the maximum points). Yet, in reality, there is no such thing as the ideal time to do an MBA. People have completed a 2-year MBA programme with no prior job experience and even with 56 years of experience.

Of course, you can. There are certain things which you might have to keep in mind in case you plan to continue them both simultaneously. The Council of the Institute, under Regulation 65 of the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988 has permitted Articled Assistants to pursue, with prior permission of the ICAI, only one course concurrently with CA subject to the requirement that the schools being attended for such allowed courses do not overlap with the Principal's office hours.
Therefore, if you plan to go for a regular simultaneous course, be sure to have the classes of one the courses in the evening and the other in the morning. It will be an addition to your value and career prospects. There is no harm in it if you want to go for it. I hope this helps. Just don't let one of them affect adversely the other.

If you are ambitious, your career is on the upswing, and you are looking to turbo-charge your resume, an Executive MBA (EMBA) is something you might want to consider. Unlike a full-time MBA, where the students are younger and relatively inexperienced, an EMBA program is designed for professionals who have at least six to seven years work experience. Best of all, it's a flexible program that allows you to keep your full-time job while earning your degree. In spite of its nomenclature, an EMBA is not aimed at executives (I.e. the privileged few perched at the top echelons of the company) at all and is apt for anyone identified by either themselves or their organization as a future leader. The degree is aimed at anyone who is driven, keen to develop their managerial acumen, and wants to deepen their knowledge of the business. With a degree like this under your belt, you can go from being, say, a team leader, to someone involved in strategic thinking, leading large initiatives in your firm and becoming a key driver of business at work. Clearly, the degree paves the way for a huge shift in the role in the corporate world. Typically, seen as a career booster by professionals in finance, accounting, marketing and consulting, an EMBA is now sought by candidates looking to up their game in all sorts of domains. And why look only at the classic corporate paradigm. Many at this stage in their careers plan to turn entrepreneurs, and an EMBA is their ticket to running their own business. So an executive MBA from IIMs does worth if you have a defined objective for your career.

First of all, you need to understand the difference between BBA and B.Com and then select a course accordingly.
Delhi University
Pros: Brand name, good academics, good Fests and societies. No attendance issues.
Cons: Bottom colleges are decent in terms of academics and placements.
Maharaja Surajmal Institute
Pros: Reputation, discipline, great academics and good placements.
Cons: Attendance issues.
To sum it up, if you're planning to pursue CA/CS/IAS, etc., along with your graduation then I would recommend Delhi University as it has less attendance issues plus shorter duration of classes.
Otherwise, if you have no such intention or you get a bottom college of Delhi University you may consider Maharaja Surajmal Institute as it's an equally reputed college with good academics.
All the best.

IIMs offer MBA program which involves a lot of peer to peer learning and it prepares students to enter into the corporate or business world. Diversity is considered important today in corporates as well feeding into the diversity agenda of IIMs apart from their own objective of having diverse students to foster a good learning environment. IIMs do consider academic diversity as a factor for shortlisting and further selection. This is considering that the CAT score and past academic score in class 10th, 12th and graduation are comparable to other candidates who have a background in engineering which is the most prevalent graduate degree in India. Thus, considering all these criteria, it's important to choose a graduation degree that you are interested in, otherwise, you won't be able to perform well. The selection process also looks at your motivation to choose a graduation programme and your grasp of concepts learned. Also, if you are planning to gain some work experience before MBA, it's important to choose something that interests you rather than getting into IIM as a criteria for your decision. This is just a small factor as reflected by the high proportion of engineers in IIMs. Think well and choose wisely.
All the best.
