    I personally feel that at in the current times, MBA has become a must have. While CA is something that is not meant to be for everyone, MBA is a degree that something that adds value to every professional. Whether you are a graduate, a PG or a working professional, you can apply for Executive MBA or Reg MBA at LM Thapar School of Management and unleash your Business Administration potential. Admissions are open, you can apply.

    I would like to answer this on the basis of two points:
    1. Interest:
    Check what your interest this. All the three fields are totally different and require totally different mindset and creativity. So basic thing is interest.
    2. Colleges:
    Doing MBA is not just enough, make sure do it from a very good college. This will. Make sure you have good corporate connections and can look for various opportunities.

    Your life priorities and current ambitions determine whether you should go for an MBA or pursue CA. CA is a vast course that includes at least 4 years of rigorous practice whereas an MBA barely requires 1-year practice on CA. Or other management exams,. .

    Hi. Hardik. The decision to pursue an MBA/PGDM or CA depends on your individual career goals and aspirations, as both paths offer different opportunities and skillsets.

GIBS Business School is a well-regarded B-school in South Africa that offers an MBA programme, and is recognised for its high-quality education and strong industry connections. On the other ha

  • Career goals: If your goal is to work in corporate management, leadership roles or consulting, an MBA can be a better option as it provides a broad range of business skills and knowledge.

Getting into the MBA programme of NIT Trichy with a 300 SC CAT rank is somewhat uncertain. As the recent data sets suggest, NIT Trichy's CAT cutoff for SC category admission stands around 65th percentile. A 300 SC rank could be borderline depending on how many SC candidates apply and the quality of the overall candidate pool.
In CAT marks terms, to reach around the 300 SC rank, you'd likely need a CAT percentile of 65–70, which roughly translates to a CAT score of about 60–65 out of 198, assuming the normalization and difficulty remain similar. 
However, final admission also depends on other factors like your academic profile, w
