Hi,
As far as MBA is concerned, it is highly preferable course after doing B.Com.
Most of the students prefer to join MBA after successfully completing graduation in commerce. If you want to study further, you can go for MBA, M Com, Chartered Accountancy or Cost Accountancy careers which are equally attractive.
The following are the fields which can be opted in MBA .
1. MBA in Finance
2. MBA in Marketing
3. MBA in Human Resource
4. MBA in Banking
You can even choose dual specialisation in MBA Finance/Marketing so as to make the best use of the available job opportunites as dual specialisation helps to gather the basics of both the fields.
You can apply for CAT and XAT as the applications have already started.
