Do BA and B.Com Students Make Good MBAs?



Nowadays, the question haunting most students at a very early age is the whether their chosen stream, be it arts, commerce or science will facilitate their final goal of an MBA. However, MBAupdates suggests and requests the students to decide what they really want? However, if their ultimate goal is not a managerial degree then reading this article is futile. But, yes, if you desire to see yourself seated high up on the complex corporate ladder then read on to find out whether a BA, B.Com or B.Sc. will hinder your path to a successful MBA.
Training
If there is any difference between a student of any standard Bachelors degree and a Bachelors in Management student, then it is the training, the drilling exercises, the inherent mode of doing something relevant for very long. Conventional degree students lack the essential training at the earlier years when the mind is more receptive to picking things. Management students at Bachelors level function the same way as real MBA students but at a lower degree, a notch below them.
Time and Effort
Vis-a-Vis, a conventional degree holder who is used to a lesser hours and efforts in their degree course a management student at undergraduate levels is used to more painstaking effort and mostly undergo a credit based course, with interactive presentation, and more frequent industrial visit totalling contrasting the exposure that each gets. Standard degrees employ lower hours at study as compared to a management student at the same level of education making the management student more capable of taking pressure in the MBA coursework and at work in the future too.
Experience
Alas! Finally the main caveat of practical experience and relevant work exposure makes the management learner take the cake away from the degree holder.
  • They learn to interact at a different level as they do real time projects on the subjects like research methodology.
  • Irrespective to which field they are from during junior college they still have to do essential subjects like Account, Mathematics and Statistics irrespective to their tastes and liking for the subject.
  • Their internships and small time work experiences add value to their existing undergraduate level resume.
  • They deal to learn with people and work with groups of people at an earlier age increasing their power to adapt to changing situations and probably adapt to different work environments in the future.
  • The experience is directly proportional to the number of years dedicated at management level study.
MBAupdates concludes on an affirmative note that the standard or the conventional degree holders like B.A, B.Com or even B.Sc. lack the edge in general. However, MBAupdates strongly clarifies its stand that the aforementioned conclusions are drawn only on the basis of the comparison of the course frameworks and has personal abilities and capabilities of the students are not taken into consideration.
