It is a manegerial course which enables the student to take up leadership and decision making roles by strengthening their leadership ability, communication, problem-solving ability, strong networking ability etc. It provides wide corporate exposure to the candidate making them industry ready. Due to this the scope of MBA is enhanced. If you do MBA from a prestigious college like IIMs, you get initial salary above Rs.15LPA on average.

MCA: This course is for qualified professionals in the IT field. This is a niche specialisation and opportunities are limited only to the IT industry.
