Business Management Studies

PGDM is a PG Diploma in management. It's a Diploma course of 1-year. MBA is Masters in business administration and it's a full 2-year course. Both are good at their level.

Looks difficult. Nowadays, most MBA colleges give admission based on the scores received in admission tests which could be either CAT, MAT, CMAT or their own tests.

You need to be positive. To overcome this handicap, you need to try and explore an excellent internship during MBA and I am sure this will come to your advantage at the campus placement stage. Generally, internship exposure paves the way for final placement and if one excels during internship project, the company also offers final placement.

No, after MBA, you can take direct admission in CA inter. But final level is not possible.

Yes, part-time MBA needs a minimum of 3 years of work experience. So, it's advisable that you first get employed and after 3 years of work experience, explore a part-time MBA or Executive MBA programme, which is of a shorter duration.

This would depend a lot on your financial stability. In case you have no financial responsibilities & and have saved enough to manage your expenses for minimum 3 years, then doing a full-time MBA is better. In absence of it, you can also comfortably do a part-time MBA or Executive MBA or a distance MBA from a good institute.

Yes, you can pursue CFA. However, keeping in mind your age, it is advisable that you first decide on your interest areas and long-term career objectives & then take a call. Generally, one pursues CFA along with employment as the course has a self-study model. So, in case you are still not employed and are keen on a career in capital markets, then pick up a work assignment in the said industry and simultaneously enrol for CFA.

Well, scoring in CAT exam totally depends on how much effort you have put and how much you have practised. Coaching centres just teach you the topics and give you guidance on how you can crack such exams. After that, you have to put in efforts.

In case you intend to work in India, then MBA from India is good. However, if you intend to settle overseas, then MBA from abroad will be more preferred. You first need to divide your career objective & long-term life goals and then keeping them in mind, decide the way forward.

You should have 2 years of experience.
