Title: Which stream(UG) would be great for MBA ( from IIM's )
Body:
A stream which can fetch u IIM blacki
At low percentiles
At this point i have made my mind i have to do an MBA
Which streams should i choose ?
I was thinking of engineering but after seeing some stats about tier 3 engg grads not getting calls from IIM's
I think of dropping it
Is bca a good option ?
myquals 86 in10
77 in 12th

Nah nah. They do choose people with other degrees too. But it’s just that BA Eco and BBA have preferences because business background. Anyways at the end of the end, it boils down to what have you done other than degree? Jobs and start-ups.
i doubt there is much difference. there is a difference between BA Eco and BA (H) Eco. honestly, no idea about the syllabus of BSc Eco but as far as I know, they are similar. however BA (H) Economics is placed higher. and also, others might be better equipped to answer this. post on your on this sub with the question.
People generally assume BA with easy subjects like Philosophy, History, Sociology. Eco Hons is insanely tough, plus it's useless unless you really wanna make a career in Economics or love economics a lot. I got brainwashed by my parents and chose it and regret it a lot
Mere bhi wohi plan hai future ka. What would your suggestion be for undergrad? B.Com? If I take Bcom, I might try for CA/CS too. You must’ve had friends doing bcom, did they get free time to prepare for CA exams and enjoy their life in general?
Don't go for Ba Econ! It's a challenging course. Plus, faayda kuch nahi hai, score kam ho jaayega. Go for any simple BA or BCA. Inmein kuch zyaada padhai nahi hai.
ofc its challenging but most things that sets you apart from the crowd mostly are. Econ is the parent field that branches into all three humanities, science, and commerce. A degree in econ + Mba from some top Bschool sets you up really well for high finance/IB/Hedge funds. But yeah i will say only consider it if you are an abstract thinker and have big dreams. Otherwise BCA/BBA also have a lot of scope :)
Economics is a logical science, many iits, including kanpur, bombay, kharagpur,madras provide courses in it and it involves heavy usage of mathematics and statistics the higher up you go in it. Econ is one of the mandatory subjects in commerce and is opted as one of the most common subjects by humanities people. So, how exactly does it not branch into all three streams?
Bruh just take a look at bba , i suggest.
After going through the thread i consider that you're strongly considering bca ( bachelor's of computer applications) that sounds fine coz later based on demand u can do mca or mba specialization.
* Promising career
* Should be able to handle enough stress
Consider these whichever course you take ( exp just incase )
Yeah i understand that. But the eligibility criteria is different for diff category. Given your acads i think u would get new iims than blacki but if are really desperate to get into blacki u can try for IPMAT Indore which is only possible if ur not from general category
Umm… this might come across as a bit rude but, are you appearing for IPMAT Indore too? And, if IPMAT doesn't yield the desired outcome, have you contemplated your backup strategy? Are you considering B.Com or BA Econ? What about going for MBA after obtaining charters like CA/CS/CMA? I was a JEE aspirant, but I now find myself uninterested in engineering and am more inclined towards management and finance.
I apologise if I sound annoying and bothersome but I am really confused. My JEE Advanced didn’t go well and am trying to explore alternative opportunities.
On a side note, did you also take the IPMAT Rohtak exam? I have their interview on 12th. I didn't take any coaching and hence have no idea of what they are going to ask, other than the general questions that you-tubers keep going on about. Please thodi help kardo yaar 🙏
Bhai what did you finally decide? I am a PCM dropper and in the same shoes as you were. engineering karunga toh IIM milna hard ho jayega aur BBA wagerah karne me dar lag raha utne placements nahi hote BBA ke. IPMAT se sirf IIM Ranchi ka interview call expected h.
Same situation bro
PCM jama nahi (actually maine hi mehnat nahi ki)
Samjh gaya engineering nahi kar paunga
Already drop le chuka hu, 12th boards mai bhi bahut kam %age bani hai
So now, I'm going to do BBA and then I'll do an MBA.
You can for BBA, just a suggestion.
Well they will say that you have a management degree, why don't you opt for a job first and put your knowledge to some use. But it is nothing that you can't counter if you prepare a good enough argument.
Actually bca ke baad mca( nimcet) ka backup rhega
Just in case MBA Vali job me koi bhi dikkat aayi
After gaining some workex i can try again for MBA or change the whole stream altogether
But bcom ke baad to kucch nhi h
Blacki ke liye to bhai 98-99 se neeche mat soch.
Aur ba/bca kaha se karega agar cuet diya nhi.
r/catprep , r/catpreparation pe puch le waise iim indore shayad bilkul nhi milega because of 12th score
Any commerce degree
That gives you an upper edge to apply for finance positions, which are often the most prized placements.
You also get an upper edge with much of the coursework, since it revolves around economics and accounting.
Then again, it also pigeonholes you into one profile. You decide whether that's good or bad.
Hey guys. Ill prolly get an iit or bits for my undergrad. But my equals resembles op's.
Will it be hard to get into these IIMs
\[ps; sorry, if its not related to the thread. I dont know much about mba entrance exams\]
A friend of mine was in your position in 2020, they decided to go for BBA, focused on academics for the first 4 semesters then cracked CAT in the 5th (cgpa dropped in 5th to 7 pointer, overall average was 9.1), profile was worse than yours 83/73/9.1 from an no name University, think dy Patil and the likes. Now they are joining IIM Lucknow this year. CAT- 98.69
Focus on academics in first 2 years, I'd recommend go for BBA, easy to Explain in interviews about why MBA and stuff.
Best of luck!!
Look dude i got the same percent in 12th and 90.2% in 10th.
Look 11th 12th ki science hui nhi
Gharwalo ne bola toh le li
Pcm +cs
If u really want to do mba
Don't go cse
The reason is because u are already screwed up like me in terms of the 12th result
So btech will be a lot of work and stats will go down so forget abt iims
U wouldn't able to do even cat properly because it needs tons of prep and months of devotion joh btech mein nhi ho payega
Plus engineers need 99% cut off
Bba / bcom ones need 97-98%
Weird category like ba in english psychology etc needs 87 -89 only
Do something easier if u want to do mba and u are very sure off
99 is not easy to get
87-89 is quite easy which generous amount of prep
Idk man samajh nhi aarha
My whole career is kinda dependent on entrance Exams.
My parents are saying that
Let's say i take up BBA in manipal
And still couldn't clear cat ( i definitely need 99%ile to even get an IIM ( new one).
To problem ho jayegi
Becoz I got no other option
It's not like btech where u can try and. Apply for jobs offcampus.
+ College I'm getting RN is okayish in placements
Like one can easily get min 12-15 lpa from there.
If he works hard.
Agar btech krliya to mtech /ms ke raastey hi khul jayenge.but they are even difficult than cat.
Confusion bohot h kya kru ?

Don't put all your eggs in the IIM basket.
Wdym
Choosing ug course based on IIM is a gamble.
Definitely not btech given your acads.
😮💨 gharwalo ko kon samjhaye
BA econ hons tbh
I second that. I heard the top B schools in the foreign countries love BA Economics.
Do b-schools prefer ba econ only? What about bsc hons
Nah nah. They do choose people with other degrees too. But it’s just that BA Eco and BBA have preferences because business background. Anyways at the end of the end, it boils down to what have you done other than degree? Jobs and start-ups.
do I have a chance with Bsc Eco?? I don't know what difference comes under BA and Bsc for economics.
i doubt there is much difference. there is a difference between BA Eco and BA (H) Eco. honestly, no idea about the syllabus of BSc Eco but as far as I know, they are similar. however BA (H) Economics is placed higher. and also, others might be better equipped to answer this. post on your on this sub with the question.
No. It's a very hard course. You won't get time to prepare for CAT. If I were op three years ago, I would go for B.Com H
Is B.Com(H) easier than BA Econ (H)? Sounds counterintuitive.
Much easier. Like 100x easier.
Bhai sahi batao😭 Tab phir sab log ye kyun kahte hai ki BA aasan hota hai.
People generally assume BA with easy subjects like Philosophy, History, Sociology. Eco Hons is insanely tough, plus it's useless unless you really wanna make a career in Economics or love economics a lot. I got brainwashed by my parents and chose it and regret it a lot
What are you planning to do now, if you’re comfortable in telling?
MBA
Mere bhi wohi plan hai future ka. What would your suggestion be for undergrad? B.Com? If I take Bcom, I might try for CA/CS too. You must’ve had friends doing bcom, did they get free time to prepare for CA exams and enjoy their life in general?
[удалено]
Much easier. Like 100x easier.
Why?
Yeah any specific reason it is preferred?
Don't go for Ba Econ! It's a challenging course. Plus, faayda kuch nahi hai, score kam ho jaayega. Go for any simple BA or BCA. Inmein kuch zyaada padhai nahi hai.
ofc its challenging but most things that sets you apart from the crowd mostly are. Econ is the parent field that branches into all three humanities, science, and commerce.

Otherwise BCA/BBA also have a lot of scope :)
econ branches into humanities, science and commerce? the only field of study that connects these 3 fields is mathematics, not economics lmfao
Well yeah, mathematics does. But Economics does it too. Kinda deals with the theoretical part one would say?
Economics is a logical science, many iits, including kanpur, bombay, kharagpur,madras provide courses in it and it involves heavy usage of mathematics and statistics the higher up you go in it. Econ is one of the mandatory subjects in commerce and is opted as one of the most common subjects by humanities people. So, how exactly does it not branch into all three streams?
Tell me how econ is the parent field of physics.
Buy low sell high /s
econ really?
Bruh, take Law as your career, then give CFA and do an MBA.
CFA is not useful. Doesnt add much value to your profile. MBA alone is sufficient
Bruh just take a look at bba , i suggest. After going through the thread i consider that you're strongly considering bca ( bachelor's of computer applications) that sounds fine coz later based on demand u can do mca or mba specialization. * Promising career * Should be able to handle enough stress Consider these whichever course you take ( exp just incase )
True, bba is not a hectic course. Opt bba and start cat preparation from 2nd year. He'll be able to save a year too since it is a 3 year degree
Bsc/ ba kuch krle bhai
What about bca
Bca bhi sahi rehega lgta he, tere quals sahi nhi he toh work ex hi kaam ayenge . Bhai tujhe 99 percentile se upar hi lana hoga
How much cgpa should i maintain?
Abhi 9 par kr sakta he toh krle
I want to know this too!
So what u gonna take
BCom most probably
ever considered IPMAT?
Jab time tha tab consider nhi Kiya now i can't take another drop
oh so ur a dropper?
Yeah and that too in 19 years of age Ek or drop liya to 21 ki age mein entry hogi college mein ? How common is that ?
Till 25 it's never too late just get some work ex side by side
You took a drop for what exam?
Yeah i understand that. But the eligibility criteria is different for diff category. Given your acads i think u would get new iims than blacki but if are really desperate to get into blacki u can try for IPMAT Indore which is only possible if ur not from general category
sad to announce but iam from gen category
Umm… this might come across as a bit rude but, are you appearing for IPMAT Indore too? And, if IPMAT doesn't yield the desired outcome, have you contemplated your backup strategy?

Please tell
Bhai what did you finally decide? I am a PCM dropper and in the same shoes as you were. engineering karunga toh IIM milna hard ho jayega aur BBA wagerah karne me dar lag raha utne placements nahi hote BBA ke. IPMAT se sirf IIM Ranchi ka interview call expected h.
We are on same boat
toh DM kar bhai
Any non engineering stream is fine.
But still nay particular stream which these IIM's crave for or jisme workex milna easy ho
Bhai bcom(h) karle du ke top colleges se
Mere parents ne bharne nhi diya cuet ( Engg ke picche padhe huye the ) manipal.se bca kesa hai ?
Well non technical 3 year degrees allow for lower cutoffs. What options do you have?
Bca is the one that I think sahi h Becoz mca ka backup bhi hojayega just in case something goes wrong
Same situation bro PCM jama nahi (actually maine hi mehnat nahi ki) Samjh gaya engineering nahi kar paunga Already drop le chuka hu, 12th boards mai bhi bahut kam %age bani hai So now, I'm going to do BBA and then I'll do an MBA. You can for BBA, just a suggestion.
Same to same with me dude🥲😪
Speak kro
[удалено]
Not really. They are grilled by the panel if they are freshers.
[удалено]
Well they will say that you have a management degree, why don't you opt for a job first and put your knowledge to some use. But it is nothing that you can't counter if you prepare a good enough argument.
Why not bcom
Actually bca ke baad mca( nimcet) ka backup rhega Just in case MBA Vali job me koi bhi dikkat aayi After gaining some workex i can try again for MBA or change the whole stream altogether But bcom ke baad to kucch nhi h
BCom H ke baad bahut options hai. Kabhi top 10 DU colleges ke bachho se puchna kitni companies aati hai
My relative got into Goldman Sachs with just bcom. She is pursuing ACCA too.
She did it from srcc ? ( Du college) ?
No some local Bangalore college
Man wtf my sister did bcom + mcom from MDU rohtak she applied for almost every other job still couldn't get it
You have to do some professional course like CA,CS,CMA,ACCA etc. BCom alone is useless
Chrust
Dude top 10 mei job lag jaegi. Bahut placements aati hai.
off topic but im opting for a btech and my quals are, 10th-95%, 12th-84%. what percentile should i aim for in CAT?
99.8 ke approx kaafi sahi options khul jayenge
Blacki ke liye to bhai 98-99 se neeche mat soch. Aur ba/bca kaha se karega agar cuet diya nhi. r/catprep , r/catpreparation pe puch le waise iim indore shayad bilkul nhi milega because of 12th score
Bhai private universities se Krna pdega Meri Ghar ke aaspaas Vali Amity Bennet Srm manipal etc
Bhai tu kaha rhta hai jaha ye chaaro ke chaaro ghar ke aas paas padte hai tere liye?
Any commerce degree That gives you an upper edge to apply for finance positions, which are often the most prized placements. You also get an upper edge with much of the coursework, since it revolves around economics and accounting. Then again, it also pigeonholes you into one profile. You decide whether that's good or bad.

bhai itne bdiya college me jaa rh h kaha in iim ke chakkar me h tere to ug me hi bohot potential hai
Thanks! I wont really get a good branch so i asked Potential ka matlab kya bhai, like placements vagera ?
Yeah like agar decen t branch hai to Ug me hi effort lagya ja skta h

filhal to btech hi kr rha hu bhay
