Hi Mayank, my son is doing bba. Presently he is set to clear his 4th sem to opt for 5th. Can you tell me being in commerce, if he can go for mba in data scientist and data analysit in aboard. And if so, what skills he need to have to try for this.

Ans: I would say it really depends on her interests levels and skills. She should do what she is passionate about rather than doing what others are advising her. If we go by the book then full time MBA from a reputed college has better prospects and since she is young and does not have kids she can persue that. But again it all depends on what she wants to do and carry on for the rest of her career

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.

Ans: Let him first focus on CAT. Even if he gets 70+%ile he can get some decent colleges (better than what he can get through tancet). CAT preparation will also form a base for other entrance exam like tancet. It is not difficult to score 70%ile. Do follow my youtube channel patrick100.
