yes it is! best of luck!\neven if it is corruption, if you have the will and the tact, you can make a difference. as an IAS, you will be able to effect changes for the betterment of the people of India, even if the changes are in a subtle way. You can try influencing your BOSS who might be a minister.. but look at the present scenario.. with the media becoming fiery and many young conscientious leaders coming up, you can definitely do something for India and for yourself as well.

Hi !\nSince your main strem is comm. I'ld like to suggest u to go and concentrate on any one of the Professional courses -\na.Chartered Accountancy\nb.MBA - Finance\nc.Chartered Secretary - ICS\nd.LLB-Taxation\ne.Cost Accountancy - ICWA\nf.Financial Analysist-ICFA\ng.Actuarrial Analyst\nh.M.Com + Ph.D.\n\nHowever there are other courses available online but they cost high and I dont know your financial supports.Remember that a combination of two professional courses always work best,e.g.C.A.+C.S. OR C.A. + MBA OR C.A.+ LLB OR ICS = LLB etc.\nMy guidance to u is- the course u choose should tally with ur interest and never choose a course as a result of any force or compromise otherwise u cant achieve goals of ur life.I wish u all the very best .. begin with smile\nbye - piyush.

Finance management (FM) is a vast field & in this field also the ones that you have mentioned are very broad in scope. For the Indian economy all the fields that you have mentioned are currenlty in demand & have a very good scope. So you should take your decision based on what liking you have. Your inclination to the subject is more important than the scope. Investment banking is a 24 hours job, you have to be on your toes for full time. Its not a 9 to 5 activity. Even on holidays you have to be aware of what is happening in investment markets & that too not just national but international as well. Equities is restricted if you are talking about only new issues and compliances. It will be more procedural this way. Corporate finance again combines procedural and legal knowledge of raising funds for a company. This is a more restricted field requiring knowledge of various sources of finance and procedures associated. Mutual funds employ investment bankers and other jobs are procedural and regulatory in fund houses. Insurance is a mix of financial marketing and regulatory / legal knowledge.\n\nBased on above you should choose a field for which you have liking. All are equally remunerative but differ in terms of knowledge required and skills used.\n\nGo ahead and all the best !

Age may be an important determinant in this answer. But it is not the only answer. If you are younger and wanna ve an Exec MBA but you dont wanna "change" urself from your present self in your career, then it is useless.\n\nOn the other hand, if you are even 65 and you are flexible enough to let new ideas come to your mind from Exec MBA then it is something you must do.\n\nThe major factor is your own determination and will to make use of it.\n\nBEST OF LUCK in any decision you make

You are good student so you can opt for any of the following options:\n\n\n- Complete your CS\n\n- Complete your graduation and opt for CAT to do MBA in India\n\n- Complete your graduation, appear for GMAT and go abroad for study in MBA\n\nOption second and third look more apt. You can take this decision after your graduation however keep preparing for CAT and then depending on the college or university where you are getting admission you can decide on whether to go abroad or study in IIM.

PGDBM or MBA is doesn't mattre both are post graduate courses. Pg degrees are awrded by institutes & masters degree by universities.. even iims award you Pg degrees .& u kinow getting a pg degree is far beeter than getting it form any other institute.. so its the institute that matterz... if u r plaaning to go to a fulltime course try chking out the placements of the institute.. my personal advice, i feel in kolkata  IISwbm is a bettter choice than EILM..(for part time /full time) but if u r good then pls try etting in iim or ICFAI.

With any luck, the government will stop messing with IITs and IIMs. Regardless of reservations and quotas, the only right way to get in is by studying. There are no shortcuts. Take it from an old IITan!

Iam an mba graduate of 2006 batch from a leading B school in India. So far i have not come across any thing like mba in International managment accounting. But you do have specialisations based on accounting when u study mba finance or mba international business or mba bank management. U will have international accounting as a wide aspect to cover when u take the above mentioned courses. But u can also try part time diploma 's in international management accounting from various institutes like symbiosis, Rai University, AMITY, XLRI, AIIMS (all india institute of management studies, Delhi), etc.. which have great value.\nBefore u choose the option be clear in ur view.U  have good future for this subject in banking field, IT, research, etc...\nAll the best..

Hi,\n\nDont think that I am degrading your opinion. Its too late to switch your field of working. Its better try to improve in your own field.\n\nThe reason is you do not have experience in software field and hence you should be considered as a fresher. But a fresher should be with in a specific age limit as per the norms of software companies.\n\nI could give you real examples. When software companies came to our institution for campus interviews, many of the companies did not selected two of my classmates since they had two to three years break in their history. The reason they gave is our norms is that a fresher should be with in certian age limit during selection.\n\nAnd an important thing is the two students are highly skilled both technically and in other aspects.\n\nI think you understand.\n\nBetter work for your growth in you own field or if you are very much interested in software, you can try to open a small software companry of your own and employ some workers and manage them.\n\nBest of Luck\n\n**********\nVasu M\n**********

It depends on what country you are in.\nI myself is preparing for my civil service exam on October and we don't have the so called IAS exam here, so I suppose you are from a different country.\nYou can enroll in a Review Center Program that specializes in a particular field (e.g. civil service, board exam, bar exam). or\nif you don't have time and money, you can check out your local bookstore for Reviewer Books and do a self-study..
