Is it better for me to do MCom in India or do an internship/work experience before going for masters abroad in Ireland?

If you plan to pursue a master's abroad, especially in Ireland, gaining relevant work experience or an internship before applying is generally more beneficial. Work experience can:

- Strengthen your application for many international programs
- Help clarify your career goals and preferred specialization
- Allow you to save for tuition and living expenses

However, if you want to continue studying without a break or focus on academic foundations in commerce, an MCom in India is a valid option.

Consider your long-term career goals and personal preferences.
