My son is now in Class XII Commerce in a CBSE school. He has an ambition of doing MBA from a good Management School. He got 90% in class X of CBSE. Please advise, from career perspective, if he should pursue for B Com or BBA course after his completing the Class XII exam . Please advise the Entrance tests he should pursue to get admission into Institute of repute for the courses , i.e. B COM and BBA. Regards.
Ans: Choosing between B.Com and BBA depends on your son's interests and long-term career goals. Both courses can lead to a successful career in business and management, but they have different approaches and specializations.

B.Com is a more traditional and broader course that focuses on various aspects of commerce and finance. It covers subjects like accounting, economics, taxation, finance, marketing, and business law. It provides a strong foundation in accounting and finance, making it suitable for those interested in pursuing careers in fields like chartered accountancy, banking, finance, or tax consultancy.

BBA is a management-oriented course that focuses on the principles and practices of business management. It covers subjects like marketing, human resources, operations management, organizational behavior, and entrepreneurship.

If your son is specifically interested in management and wants to develop a deeper understanding of management principles right from the undergraduate level, BBA could be a better choice.

As for entrance tests for reputable institutes, here are some of the common entrance exams for BBA/MBA courses:
1. Common Entrance Test (CET): Many states in India conduct their own CET for admission to BBA/MBA programs in state universities and colleges.
2. All India Management Association Undergraduate Aptitude Test (AIMA UGAT): This exam is for admission to various undergraduate programs like BBA, BCA, Integrated MBA, etc.
3. Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET): Conducted by Symbiosis International University, SET is the entrance test for various undergraduate programs, including BBA.
4. Indraprastha University Common Entrance Test (IPU CET): Conducted by Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, this exam is for admission to various undergraduate courses, including BBA.
5. Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT): For admission to Xavier University's BBA program.
6. CUET (Ofcourse)

Sir I am a student of class 12.I am a JEE aspirant.I wish to study abroad if I cannot get a cs seat in a good iit, but I missed all the deadlines ( I got this idea recently).Is it ok to wait for a year and upgrade my skills to study at ucl in case I don't get into iit?
Ans: Have You Checked Your JEE (Main) Score? What’s Next?

By now, you have appeared for JEE (Main). Have you checked the answer key and assessed your score? Understanding where you stand will give you a clearer idea of your performance in JEE (Advanced).

Exploring Other Options:
IIT is not the only pathway to a great career in Computer Science. You can also consider other entrance exams or explore studying abroad.

Considering a Gap Year for Studying Abroad:

If you’re aiming for top universities like UCL but missed application deadlines, taking a gap year can be a strategic move. It allows you to:

1. Strengthen your academic profile (SAT/ACT, TOEFL/IELTS, subject tests)
2. Gain experience through internships, research, and open-source contributions
3. Improve your programming skills and competitive coding performance
4. Apply for better scholarships and multiple global universities

Challenges & How to Overcome Them:
A gap year requires discipline and planning. Challenges include:
1. Social expectations – Overcome doubts with a clear action plan
2. Staying productive – Engage in structured learning, internships, and projects
3. Financial planning – Research scholarships and funding opportunities

What You Can Do in a Gap Year?: 1. Retake JEE (if needed) 2. Prepare strong applications for international universities

If you secure a good CS seat in India, that’s a great option. However, if you wish to explore global opportunities, a well-planned gap year can help you gain admission to top institutions like UCL. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.
