The overall money invested in a CA certification is less as compared to an MBA degree. Out of 100, only 3-5% of candidates are able to qualify and get certified as CA. 90-95% of candidates who opt for an MBA course end up getting good jobs LPU is known for its MBA. LPU provides quality education, with great scholarship programs plus holistic learning opportunities. Mittal School of Business is among the first 10 institutions in India to get ACBSP (USA) accreditation. LPU is ranked No. 2 among Indian B-Schools in 'Outreach and Inclusivity by NIRF ranking released by MHRD, Government of India. The curriculum is made keeping in mind the current market trends. The placements are 100%, and students have special placement-oriented classes that serve as a booster for students to clear the exam and interview. Companies like Hyatt, Ritz Carlton, Adani Wilmar, Altruist, Al-Rakha, Dharam Consultancy selected LPU students for International locations. The highest package availed is 16.6 LPA by Khimji Ramdas. More than 650 companies visit LPU every year for recruitment with an average of 5-12 LPA packages. Every year visiting companies escalate in number and till date University has recorded the highest placements in North India. The students can join an internship by sitting in the placement drive organized by LPU or they can organize at their own end. The students can work in banks (Private or Public), the Pvt sector or Public Ltd. companies, etc. The students have done an internship in Companies like IDBI, FUTURE GENERAL INSURANCE Company, COHO, Times of India, Hindustan Times, Karvy stockbroking, Decathlon Sports Ltd; etc. The best thing about LPU about placement is that they provide placement classes to all the students from the first year who opt for the placement. With the help of this, they can prepare themselves for placements till the pre-final year because the companies will start visit for the recruitment of students since a pre-final year.

There are some traditional but yet valuable courses are there like CA (chartered accountant), CS (Company secretary), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), CPA (Certified public accountant), CIB Certificate in Investment Banking), CMA (Certified management accountant). These courses would provide you core Technical Knowledge in the domain of commerce. But if you intends to pursue you Management career with the blend of commerce domain knowledge, I must suggest regular MBA courses with any of the specialisation like Finance, Financial Consulting, Marketing, Auditing and Taxation, Banking and Financial Services, Business Analytics, International Business, Investment Banking, Operations, Retail Management, Financial Markets, Fintech etc. An MBA will offer you a wealth of advantages, especially when you studied this programme from a well-regarded business school. There are many reputed Institutions in India who are providing quality education for MBA.

Navneet Kaur · Answer

An MBA definitely has more scope than a CA due to the following reasons: Most of the IIMS and other good B schools prepare you for general management. They teach you the basic skills needed for each kind of management role, and then you are allowed to specialize in your desired stream later. This gives you a much broader exposure, while a CA restricts you more or less to an accounting role. If you have an MBA, chances are your career progression will be faster as compared to those who don't. This should be true in most of the careers. An MBA is extremely hectic, and the rigor of the programme teaches you a lot of extremely essential skills like time management and hard work. The companies know about the rigor of MBA programmes and value these skills. In case you want to become a CEO or a top manager, it is practically very difficult to reach that position in today's competitive world if you don't have an MBA. The kind of professional networks you build during an MBA will stay with you for the rest of your life and will help you whenever you need professional help or favours. Note that I have very limited knowledge of CA so take my words with a pinch of salt. My answer is based mostly on the interactions I have had with some of my peers at IIMA who are from a CA background.
