BBA

Dear Neha, BBA or B.Com is an often repeated question here on Shiksha platform. But, your question comes with a specific dimension of placements. Now, "better placements" is a very subjective issue and can be evaluated by every individual differently. There are at least 5 parameters on which aspirants might judge quality of placement - Salary, Brand, Timings, Location, Profile. This means that job offer which is excellent for Tom might be average for Jack. So, to bring some objectivity let's take average salary package to be the parameter of comparison. If we compare overall placement scenario in Delhi, then B.Com (Hons) undoubtedly is the more preferred qualification. This is evident from the high cut off lists published by colleges of Delhi University. So, students are offered higher salary packages after completing B.Com (Hons) in Delhi. Now BBS and BBA are both foundation courses in business management, and will enable you to get an entry level job in business domain. They do provide you some great opportunities, but you will be expected to take a study break and complete an MBA to realize your full potential. You can also consider, combining B.Com (Hons) with some professional courses in Banking & Finance to enjoy the advantages of both worlds. Wish you a great career.

Hello dear,
There is no significant co-relation between a Bachelor's degree and an MBA. On the contrary, it is important to understand as to why you want to take up an MBA. While I was doing my MBA, my class had a mixed bunch of folks. There were students who had a Bachelors in Pharma. Most of them wanted to get into management roles in Pharma companies like Cipla, Ranbaxy etc. There are 2 reasons as to why you could be doing an MBA. Either you are passionate about management programme and you want to pursue it for your educational interest or you are looking for better career prospects. An MBA degree will definitely move you out of technical work to business side of the work, and if you enjoy it, you will definitely like the work. Some concepts that you learn in BBA will be applicable in MBA as well. You will be a pure management graduate. While a B.Sc. + MBA will help you in cross specialisation. It is advisable to take a decision based on what youd like to see yourself doing at the end of the MBA programme rather than figuring out which Bachelor's degree will assist you in an MBA. All the best.
