Both are master courses and depend upon individual. If you looking for management related career MBA is ideal. If you keen for pursuing teaching, PhD, M.Com is better though one can opt for PhD post MBA as well. For MBA, entrance exams are conducted to get into reputed institute with good placements. Admission in M.Com is mostly based upon your graduation score. Assess your likes, interest, aptitude and choose and one may also opt M.Com side by side with job after graduation and then pursue MBA in case you seek to do both the degrees.

MBA is better, looking at its wide field of prospects. But, it always should go by your interests. MBA graduates are required to handle managerial finance positions like analysts. MBA with Finance major will open wide scope for a student in corporate. I am a student of Doon Business School, Dehradun and I have seen MBA Finance people have grabbed packages as high as Rs 23.5 lacs.
