"I graduated in June 2024 and am currently preparing for CAT 2025. Will this be considered a 1-year gap or a 2-year gap?"

Ans: Graduated in June 2024 and preparing for CAT 2025, there is typically a 1-year gap of 1.5 years. However, if you take admission in 2026 after clearing CAT 2025, it may appear longer on paper but can be justified as a focused preparation period. All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

If he clears the Mathematics exam through NIOS (or any state open school board), he will meet the eligibility criteria for most engineering colleges.
NIOS exams are conducted twice a year (April & October), so he can register for the April 2025 exam and qualify in time for admission.

As MBA has off late lost its charm, what is the next best option for a BBM graduate?

Ans: MBA loses its charm when there is downturn in the economy and the demand increases when there is a boom. So expected to see increase in demand for MBA once the Business Cycle reverses. MBA is still the best option for BBM. If you are interested in Finance can do CFA or FRM. For other fields can do short term courses relevant to that field.

Respected Sir My son is completing his B.com BFSI from Sastra University Thanjavur in June 2025 with a CGPA of 8.3. After completing his B.com he is interested in pursuing US CMA or take up a 2 year PGDM from XMIE Chennai. Please advise as to whether he could take up either of the two above mentioned courses and are they good enough to provide him with good job prospects. Alternatively you can also please suggest any other courses which would be helpful to him in a better future and with good job prospects. Thanks and Regards V Narasimhan Trichy

Ans: US CMA will be useful only if he plans to go to US. Else he can look at courses like CFA (Financial Analyst) or FRM (Risk) based on his interest. He can also look for doing an MBA in Finance from some good management college for which he would have to write the Management Entrance exams like CAT or XAT.
