So right now your emphasis should be more on getting admission in good universities or colleges to pursue undergraduate program.
I would suggest you to work for 2-3 years after completing your graduation and then opt for MBA.
The advantage of this step would be:
- You will gain relevant work experience.
- After working for few years you will know 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.
Feel free to raise more questions. Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
