Which is better: MBA or CPA?

CPA is a short duration course but to pursue it, you need to be post graduate either in M.Com or MBA finance. To work in abroad and to have good job opportunities, you can pursue M.Com + CPA or MBA finance + CPA.

To decide between CPA & MBA, I suggest MBA as it has a wider scope but try to do it from a place where you have exposure. I did my MBA from LPU & it completely transformed me to a prompt professional today. The complete system of the university is as per the corporate model. Starting right from the conduction of classes, time management and ums, deadlines and assignment submissions, club activities, student engagement programs, hackathons and competitions. It all boosted our overall development. I had many friends who were from MBA. During their course they were made to take up live projects and work on it. Certain few also got stipends which boosted their moral and also trained them on working model of real time task at job. Indeed LPU MBA has wide variety of choices and specialisation options, the curriculum of which makes it more industry friendly and beneficial. LPU MBA there is immense amount of exposure as well as academic-industry interactions happening throughout the year. This polishes the potential ability of the students to develop according to the industry needs. The university also maintain a serene teacher student ration along with it the university pertains a thorough mentorship model that builds a stronger and effective working model. Such baby steps definitely give it to a bigger scope and arena. LPU has set new bench marks in Placements which is one of the most promising part of a good university today. LPU strongly believes in the fact that learning doesn't happen only by books equal amount of external exposure is much needed for the holistic development of one self. In order to nurture such approach the university conducts multiple live project, floor job trainings and runs specialised curriculum that builds insightful understanding of concept and its applicability. Collaboration/ Tie up with the companies like Talented, NSE, Safe Educate, WileyNXT, etc. For pursuing live projects and/ or professional certifications like NCCMP, NCFM etc. Industry desired workshops on Digital Marketing, Business Analytics, Stock Market Operations, Life Skills, Creativity and Innovation, and Leadership to make students industry ready In addition to core curricula, course offers subjects like communication, analytical and soft skills to enhance personality and employability.

An MBA will be a better choice if you are interested in management opportunities or general business consulting. But, if you are strictly a numbers cruncher, and especially if you want to work for a Big accounting firm, you should think about becoming a CPA.
