Asked by Bibhash Paul on 2026-09-20 in General MBA Doubts
Hi everyone, I am pursuing my B.Com and will graduate around June/July 2027. My target is FMS Delhi. If I don't convert FMS in my first attempt, I plan to take CAT 2027 to target 99+ percentile for the 2028 intake. Since my priority remains CAT, I don't want a long career gap or a high-burnout job, but I currently have limited corporate/technical experience. I would love advice on:
1. Which core skills (e.g., Excel, SQL, Power BI) should I build during B.Com to become employable by graduation?
2. What realistic entry-level corporate roles should a B.Com fresher target?
3. What kind of jobs offer structured/predictable working hours during the ~5 months leading up to CAT 2027?
4. How can I gain practical exposure that adds value in FMS/IIM interviews without derailing test prep?
5. What are the best strategies to secure off-campus roles in major hubs like Bengaluru/NCR as a fresher?
