    If you want to build strong business and financial skills, then an MBA degree is the right choice for you. However, if you want to focus specifically on accounting and finance, then a CA course is a better option.
  • Go for MBA from any top 30 B school.

    Deciding between pursuing an MBA/PGDM in any of the top 30 B-Schools or pursuing CA is a critical decision that requires careful consideration. Both career paths offer unique opportunities and challenges, and it ultimately depends on your interests, career goals, and personal preferences.

The programme is designed to equip students with a broad range of business and management skills and expo

    Hi Hardik let me just answer your query one by One, First of all I would like to say its entirely depends upon your field of choice or rationally saying subject on which you are having strong control. Because ultimately its you who needs to score good marks in subjects to become shortlisted in MNCs for campus placement. There are certain criteria or clauses associated during selection of Good University, so that you will get your ROI (Return of Investment) in easier way. Clauses are like,
    1)University Accreditation & Ranking.
    2)Prospect of Subject & course content of your choice in University.
    3)University Infrastructure & facilities.

    If your interest is in market and portfolio, I would suggest go for MBA in finance or courses offered by Indian Securities Market (SEBI). CA is more of financial analysis and auditing in general.

    CAs are like raw diamonds, the potential and capability of each chartered accountant varies according to the exposure and grooming he receives at his school, UG college (if he attends one) and CA firm (The place where they waste three precious years of their lives as slaves). On the other hand, An MBA is a polished diamond in a jewelry shop, but the quality and value of that diamond, depends completely upon the Institute that he graduates from. I would like to recommend one that MBA at LPU offers an optimum blend of theory and practice to provides a solid foundation in general business management with specializations in area of choice.

With a 300 SC category rank in CAT, your chances for NIT Trichy MBA are relatively high. Based on 2025 data, NIT Trichy generally shortlists SC candidates with CAT percentiles around 60-65. To achieve a 300 rank under SC category, you would need about a 65-70 percentile, or a score of roughly 60-65 marks out of 198 in CAT 2025, depending on difficulty and normalization process. Final selection is also based on interview, academics, and work experience. Yes, you are fairly within touch, but I would encourage you to have a solid overall profile as well to increase your chances of admission.
