MBA or Job after BBA

by

A student of BBA inquired: ‘I am doing final year BBA (Finance). I am not able to choose between MBA and Job options after BBA. Is it better to take MBA or settle in job after BBA?’

Answer: The demand for placement of good undergraduates is on the rise as industry is looking at hiring and training the young talent. BBA with a specialization in Finance does offer lucrative employment opportunities. However, whether to take up a job or pursue higher education depends on your career objective. Hence you need to look at your long term goals.

Even if you do get a lucrative job opportunity now, in the long run you need to have MBA degree to progress in career ladder. Otherwise your career shall stagnate after a point in time. Hence, it is better to complete your MBA degree and take up a job after that.

However, many youngsters prefer to work for a couple of years after their BBA and then go for MBA education either in a reputed institute in India or go abroad. It depends on your financial needs, aspiration to pursue higher education in a reputed institute and feeling responsible to study further after a couple of years of work experience.

Diploma in Project Management OR Business Management

by

An Engineering student who is also a working professional asked…. ‘I completed my B.Tech. Mechanical in 2009. Since last year I am working as a project engineer. I have seen a notification that University of Hyderabad provides a PG Diploma in management through distance mode. I want to join in that but am in confusion that which course is better to me in the project management and business management. Which is more useful for me?’

Answer: An engineering graduate will have choice of either continuing higher education in the area of technical education, in your case it is mechanical engineering or in management studies. The choice is driven by your aptitude, career aspirations, interests and inclination to work. Business management program has versatility, which Project Management program does not offer. In case you choose to pursue a management program, you have to choose between a campus based program and a distance mode program.

For a student with less than 3 years experience, pursuing a campus based program is advised, as it will enable the student to develop managerial, interactive, analytical, decision making and leadership skills through activities, assignments, case studies, and internships. Usually, a distance mode program will not train the students in skill building and the art of human networking, which are a vital factor in managerial success in any domain. Unfortunately distance education programs in Indian context are not valued much by good companies.
