I completed my B.Com (Hons.) with a delay of one year. I was supposed to graduate in 2025, but due to multiple backlogs, I will now receive my degree in 2026. So, what should have been a 3-year course ended up taking 4 years.

My academic performance has also been quite poor, with an overall CGPA of around 6.

After completing my B.Com, I took a gap year to focus on ACCA, and so far I have cleared 9 out of 13 papers.

Now I’m feeling very confused about what to do next. I see a few options in front of me:

Should I take another gap year and complete the remaining ACCA papers, which I believe I can finish by June 2027 and then go for a MBA??

Or should I take admission in a tier 2.5/3 MBA college this year and try to prepare for ACCA alongside it (which I know will be quite challenging)?

Or should I first complete my ACCA by June 2027, then start working, and consider an MBA later?

I’m also worried that my poor undergraduate grades might make it difficult for me to secure a good job. Would completing ACCA be enough to compensate for that?

Overall, I’m highly confused and unsure about which path to choose.

Alright so I was an college student of batch 2025(Bcom H.) and received 9 exemptions and i took drop to complete my rest of the papers but I think it will take more months (specifically till June 2027) to complete my remaining exams. Also my scores in UG degree are really really poor with a lot of backlogs and I wasn't even able to complete my degree on time that is I passed my degree a year later that is 2026. Now I am really worried about my future...even if I complete my remaining acca exams and become an affiliate will I still be eligible to land a good job?? With all those backlogs and poor UG marks??(Around 6 cgpa). Should I go for MBA and perform well there? Or completing ACCA will be more than enough?? Please do tell me. Btw I am an Indian Student so tell me according to Indian job market.
