Ans: Can do 3 year BCom course and then prepare for MBA entrance exam like CAT. Do a specialised course like agriculture or nursing only if you are interested in it.

But Sir what about my 10th, 12th marks and 3 yrs gap how will I explain all? Also I'm thinking of doing specialization courses for backup because I'm getting some govt colleges in agriculture and paramed courses now . So if somehow i cant get any seat in cat from tier 1 then i will have somethingt to do... Also My parents have some financial problems means if I wouldn't get any seat in tier 1 then they will not allow me to study mba then I have to prepare for general competition exams for jobs like banking n all..
Ans: Considering your case, can study in govt college in the areas you have identified.
