I have completed my graduation (b.com)with A grade.
I want to know which is the best field for good future? MBA or CA? ave anyone completed B.Com course and took any of these two course? What would be the future prospective for both?

Bachelor of Commerce is total of 3 year program which include 2 year classroom program and one year rigorous training program .

It provides foundation to the students to make their career in Charted Accountant (CA).

So, it will be better to pursue for CA instead of MBA because this is what you studied at Bachelors level and this experience help you a lot in CA to make bright future .

I would like to tell you something that both the field is good for future and I want to tell you one more thing that M.B.A is a master degree course and C.A is a professional course, so if you can be able to do both the course at a time then you can do it simultaneously.

So go for your master degree first and with that you also appear for our C.A course also that would be better for your future.

Both of them are good courses to be opted for as both of them carries good career opportunities.

Both the MBA and CA course, having good scope in both the Government and Private sectors as well. MBA is a totally different field of CA course. MBA is Management related professional course, while other hand CA is Accountancy related professional course.

MBA is just like a Normal, Master degree course which is full of theory subjects one can easily complete the course without much difficulty. After completing MBA course you can find job opportunities in Banking Sector and Managerial position in many reputed companies.

Institute of Chartered Accountant of India (ICAI) is an Accountancy based professional course which is full of Accounting and Mathematics subject. Obviously, the job prospects for CA is enormous, one can find a job opportunity in Banking, Insurance, Financial Institutions sectors and Auditor's office as well.

Whatever, it is an MBA or CA, If you learn the course with proper Interest then definitely you may achieve your career goal for sure. So, I suggest you to select any one of the based on your Interest and future aspiration.

It depends on your own interest that in which field you want to excel.

If you want to go in the field of Management then opt for MBA otherwise the most beneficial course for you will be CA as you have graduated from the same field.

For CA it will give you a benefit of direct registration scheme too.
