Hi,
Yes, you may surely pursue MBA after MCA, as it will further enhance your career prospects.
However, I would suggest that, if you do not have any work experience, then you should work for 2-3 years and then pursue 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.
However as per your profile pursuing MBA in finance, or IT would be the best option for you.
In order to pursue full time MBA 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.
If you are a working professional, in that case pursuing MBA through distance education would be the best option for you, by this you may easily maintain balance between your job and studies.
For your reference, find below some of the finest universities to pursue MBA through distance education:
- Indira Gandhi National Open University.
- Punjab Technical University.
- Sikkim Manipal University.
- Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning.

- Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University.
