Hi,
After completing Bsc you have 2 options:
1.To opt for a job.
2.To opt for further studies (MBA, Msc etc)
However as per your profile I would suggest you to work for 1-2 years after completing your graduation and then opt for further studies.
The advantage of this step would be:
- You will gain relevant work experience.
- After working you will know which course to pursue that can further enhance your career prospects.
- If you are interested in pursuing MBA, then this work experience would help you to decide which specialization to opt in MBA that can further enhance your career prospects.
- Candidates with work experience will have competitive advantage over other candidates with no work experience during MBA admission.
- This work experience of yours will also be an added advantage for you during campus recruitment in MBA, as most companies would surely prefer an experience candidates over a fresher for a job.
- Finally if you work for some years then you may yourself manage the expenses for your further studies.
Please note that the final selection in full time MBA or PGDM program is made on the basis of:
1. Education background of the students. i.e. 50% marks in graduation.
2. Score in various management entrance tests like CAT, MAT, XAT, etc
3. Performance in group discussions and personal interview.
4. Work experience if any.
5. Other activities like participating in various event like debates, quiz, extra curricular activities, etc.
I would suggest that before opting for any course you must first decide in which field you wish to build your career and accordingly you can select the best course as per your interest and liking.
As a student you should give your 100% in whichever course you opt for and if you do well then getting a good job with handsome salary should not be a problem.
Feel free to raise more questions. Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
All the Best.
