Engineering Students are wasting their Time in Management Studies; they have Another Way to go

Hello to all.

I respect all the person who have spoken their mind here.

Some say opting for MBA after BE/B-Tech is waste while some say it fruitful.

My point is it worthy enough to go for MBA after BE/B-Tech.

Let me prove my point with an example.

Suppose there are two factories which produce an automobile engine. The manager of one factory is a BE/B-Tech + MBA while that of other is any graduate+mba. Now manager of 1st factory, being BE/B-Tech, can understand the problems of technical department they face while manufacturing the goods. Moreover he can also be cost efficient as he knows what all materials can be used alternative to costly materials which will provide same quality to engine produced. And being a MBA he can decide the marketing strategy, pay scale of workers and profitable deals.

On the other hand manager who has done MBA only cannot understand the technical section of production. He can only understand marketing, sales and profits.

Conclusion of my example us that for handling the technical companies BE/B-Tech + MBA professional are preferably more suitable because only MBA professional cannot understand the whole working. Therefore opting for MBA after BE/B-Tech is not at all a waste.

Hey guys, I am a working professional around 4 years of experience in embedded domain. To me and MBA is definitely not going to harm you. It will add value. For example an engineer never does a development job for whole his life. Those who do stagnates there career. After a certain level definitely organization starts looking for your managerial skills as well. So don't fall prey to the three idiot thought that an MBA after B-Tech is a waste of your talent. Anything that adds value to your life and lifestyle is precious.

Hello all I feel it also depends on the person's interest, there are times when a student in engineering college while managing college festivals and other events realizes that his managerial skills are better than his technical interest which can make him to choose MBA as his masters degree rather than M.Tech.

Person would have chosen M.Tech if he would have found himself interested in technical things more and want to be more technically strong.

Frankly degree does not matter whether its MBA or M.Tech but our interest and hard work in that field matters the most.

Greetings ! I am a Engineering student (BE Electrical) from one of the best colleges in India and in my opinion pursuing MBA is not a bad idea. For those who think that this is a wastage of your 4 years of college then think of some brilliant personalities like Bill Gates, Steve jobs, Mark Zuckerberg who didn't complete their Engineering degrees either, So don't kid yourself by saying that we are great technicians. As a matter of fact Engineering in India is taught in it's theoretical aspect and student lacks innovative ideas. Ironically, we wasted 4 years in engineering as the same knowledge could be achieved by pursuing diploma.

Hello,

According to me, we should live our life like a bird, which can fly anywhere same way its all up to you and your way of thinking, rather I would like to say our own way of positive thinking if you feel internally that I would go with MBA after BE/B.TECH then its totally your choice.

Doing anything after any course will be preferable either you go for further studies or for a job, there's only one thing to make sure is your dedication towards it so go for things what you like not what your parents/friends, set goals within yourself for what to do after BE/B.TECH whether MBA/ME/MCA/LLB/JOB or anything else ask yourself and choose the field of your INTEREST believe me you will feel that you the only happiest person in the world if an only you will choose what your heart says.

Note:- Please do not follow the stream blindly in which your friend is going like goats and sheep's try to use your brains even after reading all this comments also and at last do what you have to be?

According to me Engineering is total waste of money, no one were happy in their respective jobs life is to live happy, freely.

Hello everybody.

My opinion on this statement is a different one. I feel that technical knowledge with the right management skills is a perfect combination. Skills, knowledge as well as abilities are all the underlying factors behind a person's successful career. A management degree is another feather to the hat of an engineer who wishes to have a bright future. Above all it is a personal opinion of a person regarding his or her education interest. Its a matter of fact that education will only only brighten our chances of success and so does the management studies that enhance the managing skills and abilities of any person who belongs to any domain. Yes, an MBA after engineering has become one of the highest salary grossers.

Thank you everyone.

According to me, engineering + MBA is the great combination. If you work as an engineer then you have to management skills to manage all things. If you doing the job after engineering then you are hired at very low scale salary. You have to work as a technician. The real fact is that everyone wants to earn good amount of money. So management skill makes us a leader, initiator, motivator. It teaches us a business strategy. So technical + MBA combo helps in making the perfect business man. So MBA after engineering is not the waste of time. It is complete utilisation in every aspect.

Thank you.

Hello dear friends! This is very good topic for discussion and it will help many confusing guys. I want to say that from ENGINEERING course we can get good technical knowledge and from MBA course we can get proper managerial skills. For starting the good industry in market its must to know both of these, technical knowledge as well as managerial skill. So as per my view its not time wasting to do MBA after doing B-Tech.
