well basically the thing is that a university earns its reputation by producing worthy graduates per annum. so therefore for having a good job university matters but only in this regard. so this is the very reason why i believe that if i am not able to get admission into the best institute then mind as well go for the best qualification i.e. CA , ACCA , CIMA , ICMAP etc.

Walaikum As Salam.
Well i know i have a wrong believe but i think that apart from getting a BBA degree from IBA or LUMS its not worth it , i have like 80% of my cousins who are either doing BBA or have done it ( none from IBA or LUMS ) , And i see none of them getting a very proper job .
Nowadays whoever you ask , what are you doing , the reply is BBA , Everyone is going for it , so if i am like doing it , BBA is a 4 year program and in that 4 year period there are 8 sessions of ACCA examinations and in ACCA you have to appear for 14 papers , so like 2 exams every 6 months and suppose if there is some difficult paper i can appear for just 1 in that session..
What do you think?
Is it possible to clear the ACCA papers along side maintaining a say 2.8 GPA in BBA (Apart from LUMS or IBA) ?
