Confusions related to MBA after CA

Hello guys,

I m pursuing C.A. , and just gave the IPCC group-1 exam.
My question is that should i go for MBA after i complete CA?
If yes, then can CA do MBA from IIM if i satisfy their requirements?
Also i visited IIM-A website and saw variants of MBA offered by them, mainly, normal 2 year course and 1yr executive mba course...
which of this shall i aim for?
Also, (though this question may not appear appropriate in 'MBA section) besides MBA what can i pursue after completion of CA...

Kindly help me get around this confusion. :)

Although MBA is not necessary after ca, still if u wish to do it & can afford 2 more years after ca then u can definitely do it from IIM...it'll boost your chances in job market. For executive MBA i think u will have to show working experience, hence if u'll get job before MBA then u can go for this one. However at present do concentrate on ca only.

Regarding any other course, it'll depend on ur interest...Post qualification CA courses like in valuation/CS/CWA/MCOM/CFA/CPA etc etc...bahut kuch hai...

Both have different objectives designed for different needs still Normal MBA from a good institute will give u a good career start. However in case u r not able to do normal MBA from such institute then obviously execuitve mba from IIM should be preferred.

Normal MBA is something which you do with a work experience of 0-4 years and executive MBA needs a lot of work experience.

In the case of schools like ISB, the executive MBA may require at least 8-10 years of work experience. Executive MBA is meant for every one and not the ones who are unable to attend the Normal MBA. And even executive MBA is a full one year classroom programme and not a correspondence course.

Hi Friend......

Yes, you can join MBA after completion your CA. This is a brilliant thinking that you go for MBA, because MBA is the very vast area in the world. For my point of view, you can go in Marketing, Finance or International Business in MBA which is best for your future.And I know the Top B-School in India is ITS(Institute of Technology and Science) provides world class education system with guaranteed placement in top ranked companies. ITS awarded Top B-School in India And Best MBA Institute in NCR etc. many more award it have got.
