Both decisions are okay. If you want to join MBA, better do a job for couple of years, understand the dynamics of Industry, then continue your MBA to enrich your career. Experienced people participate in class discussions better, do case analysis more effectively. But there are also good instances where fresh students with their fresh minds display very creative solutions to business challenges in the class room. I advice you to go for Higher studies or Job without any hesitation. I suggest you to go for MBA, to make your career with more progress. Join any reputed MBA institutions to add edge to your degree. LPU is ranked 37 in Management Institutes, by NIRF Ranking 2021. MBA programme is the most sought after by students in India because the curriculum is benchmarked with the best Universities across the world.
