    Hi,
    CA and MBA both are top most courses in their respective fields, hence it is impossible to compare between such reputed courses. But according to my vision and market aspects, CA field is more successful than a MBA, in today market due to unstable accounting agendas (GST). Hence, CA has an edge over MBA.

    Both the courses are good but, according to me, you should go for MBA as:
    1. It has better placements if you have done it from a good college like IIM.
    2. Less time consuming if you clear the entrance exam in one attempt.

    If you have interest in finance, taxation & legal aspects then you should definitely do CA. CA will provide you the opportunity to either work on your own or do a job with any big firm or a company. MBA will definitely increase your growth opportunity but it would be more beneficial if you pursue MBA after doing CA as it will help you more in your career & will lead to better opportunities. And, if you are ready to put extra efforts you can pursue CA & MBA simultaneously.

    CA is a professional qualification and has more weight age from a qualification perspective. It makes you a specialist in the accounts & finance domain and you can also start your own practice. Whereas, MBA gives you exposure to general management principles and gives you an opportunity to explore a career in general management. The decision here would depend a lot on your interest areas and career aspirations.

    Hi,CA is tougher than MBA. Candidate will have to work very hard to clear examinations for CA. For MBA, one has to clear CA. XAT or CMAT GMAT exams with good percentile and get admission in good B-School. Both have a bright career opportunities. It's one own interest and financial considerations because doing MBA from good B-School is expensive also.

    In my opinion, 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 extremel

    Always MBA as good scope then CA. The MBA degree can have a specific focus, such as accounting, finance or marketing. The scope depends on the institute from where you do your MBA. If you can manage to get your MBA from IIMs (A, B, C, K etc.), ISB, and other top institutes, MBA is always better than CA.

    It all depends upon the quality of your own. Sometimes MBAs get higher position than CA and sometimes CA. But, only thing you require is to ask yourself in which you are comfortable. But first know the scope of the both courses. Then decides the best among them. CA. Accounting, taxation, auditing mainly. MBA- Marketing, selling, administration.
