Choosing a course totally depends on your interest. If you have interest in Agriculture , forestry and geology then you can opt for it. The main comparison is between B.tech and CA as they have good scope in the future with good job options.
CA- You can join this course if you have analytical mind, your reading habit is updated and you have ability for strategic management.
B.tech- You can join this course if you have technical knowledge and your mathematics is very good. If you have ability to analyse and interpret. You have good communication skill and if you are a team player.
Job Prospect
It is very tough to take admission in top college of engineering. If you are pass out from average college then your starting salary will be around 2 to 3 lakhs but if you clear CA it is sure that you will get a job with minimum salary of 5 lakhs or more.
Before, choosing any course you should keep in mind that it is easy to crack first level of CA that is CPT but it is difficult to crack other levels and in engineering it is tough to get top college but it is easy to complete the course.
Good Luck!!
After doing CA, it is suggested to do MBA in Finance. But if you are looking for distance/corrospondence MBA then it is not recommended as it shall keep less value. You can do executive MBA after a good amount of experience, say above 3 years in a relevant field.
You can choose to do MBA in Finance/ Business Management which will help you not only in the packages but with placemenrts in MNC and renowned organisations.
The duo of both courses will give a great result in terms of success and stability if you do it passionately.
Some of the top Finance specialization bschools are:
Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta; Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad; Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore; Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow; Xaviers Labour Research Institute, Jamshedpur; Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai.
All the best.
Assuming you have done B.Com then you can work in a CA firm as an intern or as an assitant account as these profile would be good for you to get experience. Apart from this, you can upload your resume on recruitment website to get calls from the firms as per your requirements
Hope this helps!!!
