The better the business school, the easier it is to break into the investment banking industry. BUT, its still difficult even if you went to the best school. Most students from top schools who chase the banking dream never get in. There arent enough positions available.
However the best possible way to make a choice would be to focus on previous placement records.
IIM's definitely has a better score in terms of overall placement as well the banking sector.Almost 25-30% placement from the IIM's batch is in the banking sector as compared to a 10-15% from NSU.
So although both would be an ideal choice for MBA but investment banking would be slightly more achievable through IIMs.

Hi,
It has become very lucrative and remunerative and with the implementation of companies act, 2013 the scope has widened for a company secretary as a professional.
A company secretary can be in practice, or in employment be appointed as a key managerial person. Company secretary are also called as compliance managers as they are the ones with an overall and all round knowledge of various laws applicable on the industries.
So it is noteworthy that along with the enhancement in scope, work and remuneration wise, responsibility and accountability is also increased.
The salary package, though depends on your skills, knowledge and practical exposure, but on an average a fresher company secretary can get anything from a range of 25k to 40k a month.
The increment from that depends on your skills and the organisation where you are.

If you are doing B.Com along with CA then it is a very good thing because you will be preparing for B.Com along with it. Also, B.Com is not a tough course and if you are going to take computers as a special subject then you are going to get more knowledge about computer and computerized accounting which is going to help you in both ways B.Com. Also while doing CA, if you take computer applications as a special subject, you will have chances to score more in comparison to other component subject. You have one more option which is taking up costing subject because all the portion of it is included under CA course and you will just have to study basics regarding this subject.
Moreover, if you want to score more in B.Com without studying more then the best way to is take these two subjects. So when you are going to pursue CA + B.Com, you will be passing from IPCC and going therefore for B.Com along with it will help you getting an add on degree with B.Com.

Just like any percentile score is calculated. A percentile represents the rank of a candidate in an examination, relative to the rest of the candidates who appeared for the same examination in the same time frame.
If there is an exam where 1000 people appeared, including yourself, and you ranked 75th, then there were effectively 925 test-takers who were ranked below you (because they scored lesser marks than you did). In this case, your percentile score will be (925/1000)x100 = 92.5 %ile
In CAT, the percentile is calculated up to three decimal places and rounded off. So, people scoring 100%ile have actually scored a percentile of 99.995 and above and similarly, people scoring 99.99 percentile are those who have scored a percentile greater than 99.985, but less than 99.995 percentile.
I hope it helps.

If you are ambitious, your career is on the upswing, and you are looking to turbo-charge your resume, an Executive MBA (EMBA) is something you might want to consider. Unlike a full-time MBA, where the students are younger and relatively inexperienced, an EMBA program is designed for professionals who have at least six to seven years work experience. Best of all, it's a flexible program that allows you to keep your full-time job while earning your degree. In spite of its nomenclature, an EMBA is not aimed at executives (I.e. the privileged few perched at the top echelons of the company) at all and is apt for anyone identified by either themselves or their organization as a future leader. The degree is aimed at anyone who is driven, keen to develop their managerial acumen, and wants to deepen their knowledge of the business. With a degree like this under your belt, you can go from being, say, a team leader, to someone involved in strategic thinking, leading large initiatives in your firm and becoming a key driver of business at work. Clearly, the degree paves the way for a huge shift in the role in the corporate world. Typically, seen as a career booster by professionals in finance, accounting, marketing and consulting, an EMBA is now sought by candidates looking to up their game in all sorts of domains. And why look only at the classic corporate paradigm. Many at this stage in their careers plan to turn entrepreneurs, and an EMBA is their ticket to running their own business. So an executive MBA from IIMs does worth if you have a defined objective for your career.
