Banking, Finance & Insurance

Dear Friend, I was in the same dilemma 2 years back. So I would share my journey with you. A lot of my close relatives are bankers and I want to become a banker too. I had interactions with them on what is the best choice - I had 2 options B.Com + MBA or BBA + MBA. My initial research shown that its better to go for B.Com + MBA as B.Com has 8 accounting subjects while BBA has only 3. Also, you essentially learn the same things in BBA and MBA and BBA does limit your options on what all you can do after completing the course. So I was close to taking admissions in B.Com. Then one day my cousin called me ( he is working with HDFC bank as a manager) and informed me that he has found a course that is best suited if I wanted to work in banks. He told me about TKWs Institute of Banking and Finance. I found it as a better option and am in my final year now. Here what I have learned about this course:
1. They a course that has 3 Qualifications in 3 years. B.Com from Delhi University's School of Open Learning, An Advanced Diploma in Banking and Finance and an Optional CS course ( They suggest that everyone must give CS foundation at-least as it has advantages at later stages in career). I cleared CS foundation in 1st attempt.
2. They have regular classes and teachers are amazing. My college experience is better then my friends who are in DU colleges
3. I will be doing a job for some time and then want to go for MBA. TKWs gets students placed in banking industry. Some of our seniors have already joined banks and finance companies. I will work for 3-4 years in a bank and then do an executive MBA. So I suggest you can also go for TKWs Institute. If not, you should do B.Com and some other courses along with it.
