Hi,
A stock broker is a registered professional who buys and sells stocks or shares in the secondary market on behalf of their clients or investors.
Stock broker needs to be a financial expert who is aware of the market conditions that control the stock price. Brokers should also have excellent judgment and foresight to offer the right advice to clients based on their financial needs and their ability to bear risk. In return for their services, brokers are paid a commission called brokerage that is based on each transaction or the total trade value.

Hi,
Find below the eligibility to pursue MBA from universities in US.
- Undergraduate degree (60%-70% plus in degree)
- Atleast 2-3 years of full time work experience after graduation.
- High score in GMAT
- High scores in IELTS or TOEFL.
Preferred GMAT score- 600 plus.
Preferred TOEFL score- 90 plus.
Preferred IELTS score- 7 bands plus.
Please note that the eligibility criteria for admission may differ from university to university.
So as per your profile I would suggest you to work for 2-3 years after completing your B.Tech and then for MBA from good universities in US.
Please note MBA course has very hectic schedule, so it would not be possible for you pursue MBA and work simultaneously.
So while pursuing MBA from US, yo have to be ready with your funds to manage your tuition fee and living expenses.
An average tuition fee of a US university is about US$ 30,000 per-year and average living expenses are about US$ 10,000 per-year.The tuition fee and living expenses might be more or less depending on the university and location.
Feel free to raise more questions. Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
All the Best.

Hello Lavina,
It's fine if you din't do well in B.Com. just focus on whats the best you can do now.
You care eligible to pursue an MBA. If you have secured 50%. The approach to MBA would be to appear in the CAT/MAT/CMAT 2013and other such tests preferably (You have decent marks and you are eligible for any Test). It will give you a reach to B school depending on your percentile. Once you have your test scores in hand, you will have to apply for admission in the colleges of your choice and wait for the individual cut offs. In some of the cases, institutes also approach you based on your test scores.
You should think of joining 1 of the coaching institutes. I will recommend you TIME and Career Launcher. You should consider joining either of them. The percentage of candidates cracking into best B schools through these institutes is quite high. These institutes are very helpful in order to work on your problem areas by gauging them through mock tests and lot of activities. The average duration of the course would be 4 months. Feel free to write back for any doubts or clarifications.
I believe IIM A,B,C and L offer scholarships to the qualified candidates who have already been offered a seat. Though it's very difficult to quantify the scholarship amount or the discounted fee. It depends on an overall evaluation of your performance in CAT, and your gross family income, dependents, asset ownership and so on. I am not sure about IIM A, but B offers upto 9 scholarships. IIM L offers it for 15% of the students. Gross family income for some of the colleges should not exceed 5 lakhs in some cases and 1.5 in some for the previous financial year. All the very best and best of luck.
All the very best for your endeavor.

Hi
1. If you are interested in quantitative and statistical analysis, then learn SAS. I may also suggest SAP If you are not so mathematically, and statistically oriented, and would rather be doing jobs such as project management, business analyst.
2. SAS is more about statistics and is a reporting tool/language. SAP on the other hand is just about everything from Human Resources to Accounting and splits Accounting into General Ledger, Accounts Payable/Receivable (Finance in SAP speak) and stock control (Logistics in SAP speak).
3. To add on I can suggest you a few companies currently hiring in SAS, those are GE,Genpact, Standard Chartered Bank, Fidelity, HSBC, HP, Accenture, WIPRO,TCS, IBM India, American, Express, Ranbaxy, Cipla, WNS, Barclays,Tech Mahindra, HCL, Infosys, and many more.
While SAP is worldwide acceptable in all the segments.
4. As far as the designation is concerned, there are very well paying career as SAS analyst, programmer, developer or consultant.
And same goes with SAP as in you can see yourself as a Business Process Analyst or Pre-Sales Consultant, Implementation Consultant or even Solutions Development Consultant.
