Back CA plus MBA

I am a CA student and would like to know the prospects of the combination of a CA and MBA (Finance) degree. What options would I have after qualifying as a CA?

As a CA student you have to concentrate primarily on successfully completing the course you are pursuing with a good track record. A combination of CAand MBA Finance from a reputed institution is an excellent proposition. Doing MBA additionally is definitely advantageous from a long-term career perspective. It would widen your outlook and improve your analytical, presentation and communication skills. With a good show in the MBA, you can expect a much better placement. MBA with CA is ideal for financial consulting and so on.

The options available to you after qualifying in CA are manifold. You can choose to get into an entry-level employment or you can practise as a chartered accountant or pursue higher education such as MBA.
