Hi,
As per your query, it seems that your long term goal is to pursue MBA, so regarding this please remember in order to pursue full time MBA or PGDM program you need to be graduate in 'ANY FIELD' with atleast 50% marks in graduation, plus you need to take various management entrance test like CAT, MAT, XAT, SNAP, etc.
So, you may pursue any course at undergraduate level as per your interest and liking.
However, as per your query, pursuing BBA would be the best option for you, the BBA program usually includes general business courses and advanced courses for specific concentrations.
The degree is designed to give a broad knowledge of the functional areas of a company, and their interconnection, while also allowing for specialization in a particular area.
The degree also develops the student's practical managerial skills, communication skills and business decision-making capability.
Some of the subjects covered under BBA are:
- Principles of Management.
- Marketing Management.
- Financial Management.
- Human Resource Management.
- International Business, etc.
Once you complete your graduation, you should work for 2-3 years and then opt for MBA. The advantage of this step would be that after working for few years you would know which specialization to opt in MBA that can further enhance your career prospects.
This work experience of yours would give you competitive advantage over other candidates with no work experience during MBA admission.
Finally, if you work for some years then you may yourself manage the expenses of your further studies.
Please note that, the final selection in MBA or PGDM program is made on the basis of:
1. Education background of the students.
2. Score in various management entrance test.
3. Performance in group discussions and personal interview.
4. Work experience if any.
