CA is not made for everyone. It need par excellence and dedication but MBA is something which you can do with relatively less efforts, but you can never neglect the fact that CA is a highly reputed job. So, think and decide, Regards.

There is no doubt MBA is a good choice after completion of Bachelors degree as there are better opportunities awaiting ahead. However, CA is also better, rest it depends if your able to crack it. If you can pursue MBA and also prepare for CA that is totally upon you.

I think you should go for MBA in finance, and keep trying for CA once u r done with MBA. Or else clear the 2nd level along with your Bachelors, do MBA and CA finals alongside.
