There is nothing like a better course. First understand the basic difference. Bcom is the Bachelors in Commerce and include subjects like Corporate Accounting, Auditing, Finance, Micro & Macro Economics, Company law, etc. It is more related to the Finance, Law and Accounts. While BBA is Bachelors in Bussiness Adminstration and include coures such as Principles of Management, Business Organisation, Marketing Management & Research, Human Resource, etc. It is more inclined towards the management side of the Bussiness.While choosing a course there are few pointers which you should keep in mind :1- The ultimate goal : If you are more interested in courses such as Finance, CFA, CA, CS, ICWA, Investment banking, CMA, etc.Bcom would be more suitable. On the other hand, if you want to get into specializations like Digital Marketing, Advertising, Sales and Marketing, etc, BBA would be more suitable. BBA is the base for MBA.If you wish to pursue MBA in Finace, you can choose Bcom also. For other specializations, BBA could be better.2- What is your style of studying: BCom is a more traditional course and is more theoretical in nature. While BBA uses more practical approaches like case studies, presentations, etc.Hence, don’t select a course just be looking at the popularity, or following some myths.Pro Tip : Read the course curriculum when ever you are confused between two courses. This will give you better idea regarding the opportunities.Hope this was helpful!
Which is better, doing an MBA straight after a B.Tech from a top notch engineering college in India, or working for 2-3 years and then pursuing it?
Never do an MBA without having a clear idea of what an MBA does and what you are going to do after the MBA. For some people in India, MBA has become the 17th and 18th standards (13th-16th is our default BE/BTech). Before coming to the MBA, spend 3-4 years in an industry, really trying to understand how it works and how you can grow. Talk to the MBAs in your industry or in your target industry to understand what they do and if their work interests you. Gain the momentum while being there growing in the rank & file. And then, join an MBA to take the growth to the next stage. LearningI don't know about the IIMs, but in most good schools in the US, the whole MBA program is based on case discussions. In each class, you take up a company in a particular scenario and shred it to pieces. People from different backgrounds bring different perspectives. The company's difficulties might have been faced by you at your company. You see how an HR manager thinks, how a sales guy thinks, how an engineer thinks and how a finance guy thinks. Those perspectives are why you want to do an MBA. In those discussions, I often see the people with no work experience clearly lost. When they don't even know the pain point from their previous experience, they can't appreciate the perspectives nor the solutions. The business degree becomes of much less value.PhilosophyMBA prepares you for upper management. It provides you with tools to understand business in a very intricate way. Even star tech companies that rely on dropout founders, bring MBAs to lead at the earliest (Ballmer, Sandberg, Schmidt). Before you become a manager or an executive, you would be required to understand how the rank works. By starting to work in the ranks, you will get that perspective - a very crucial one. Most great leaders start out as great followers. CareersMost sought out career paths after an MBA includes Investment Banking, Management Consulting and Product Management. Each of these career paths usually requires prior work experience. By not acquiring the work experience, you might lose out some of the best career opportunities you might have otherwise qualified. Since the biggest career move comes immediately after the MBA, you go into a disadvantage. A lot of them have to settle for lower scales (analyst instead of a banker) or different jobs.

What are the job prospects after an MBA in Canada?
I have been actively researching this topic since I moved to Canada from US. After extensive research on various sites (Poets and Quants - Covering all that matters in the business school world, with in-depth analysis of B-schools rankings and full-time MBA programs, Google), attending seminars from Canadians schools in Toronto, talking to alumni who are based in the US (LA/SFO where I want to land up), I have come to the conclusion that:Canadian MBA from a well known school is equivalent to a mid to low tier MBA school in the US. MBA in Canada from a good Canadian school like Ivey School of Business, UofT Rotman or York University will lead to great prospects in Canada only. Canada is a very small economy as compared to the US and therefore the said prospects are very limited and competitive in nature. Therefore, you may end up in a middle management job in Canada for the rest of your life. There are some people who have managed to make the move to the US but again can manage to be in middle management positions which is not that bad. Most of the Canadian MBAs cost as much as any degree from a top tier US college which has higher prospects. Therefore, in my mind the ROI is limited to low. Most Canadian universities, even the top ones, are unheard of by anyone outside of Canada. This is a disadvantage. The networks are local and limited. Therefore, you cannot expect to reap the benefits of the sameI am considering an MBA in the US since I do not want to limit my options. This has better prospects world wide.
