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

Hi everyone. It was nice to know all the students opinion. Actually all the persons who gave their opinions here are correct according to their perspective. The thing is this.

We have many MBA courses. Say if one has to for MBA in Accounting the obviously a guy with accounts background say CA guys can survive very nicely and can go for a very good job. Or at-least get a decent job for sure.

For MBA finance person having a commerce or economics background can do.

So if an engineer has to do MBA then he/she too has lot of options.

1. MBA in supply chain management.
2. MBA in marketing.
3. MBA in operations.

These are fields which I assure that engineering students have upper hand.

So its all up to individuals and they have to be wise in selecting their MBA.

Good evening friends most of my friends here think that pursuing MBA after B-Tech is good, some corporate CEO's have also done the same thing, but the question should we follow others or should we set a new trend, why do we opt for MBA, cause it will give us a job, good salary anything else? but again the question arises is that why we did B.Tech then? Why waste 4 years of our life? we need to graduate then we could have done that simply by pursuing B.Com/B.A. /BBA etc.

If we would have pursued any of this subject except B. Tech then it would have costed us 1 year less of our life or in other words we would have saved 1 year of our life, but this is not what we wanted, what we wanted was that to be a successful engineer, working in some good reputed company, with high salary, but now a days our if we go searching for an engineer we don't have to go very far, we may find him sitting beside us, I mean today the number of engineer s are increasing but the job remains constant, but this does not mean that we should change our line.

We should keep on trying harder and harder and I am sure it will bear sweet fruits.

Hello friends,

Myself Richa. Even I have done BE but I totally disagree that its a waste of time. Though I have given my 4 years for BE. But even for B.Sc or any graduate who has given 3 years for the course do not have any subjects or course as there is in MBA. So it totally depends on a person who want to opt for MBA because its totally new for both. If you have skills and interest you can opt it at any age.

Good Evening All. I was in vague mind before I visited to this site and read all your opinions. It feels very happy that all you people gathered such a valuable opinions which really helps many students specifically grads who are in confusion what should be the continuity if there is no job in hand. If we opt higher studies what could be the choice MBA which fascinates for jobs or M.Tech /M.S.

I was thinking to take up MBA am a B-Tech graduate (aeronautical) and couldn't get job over a year. But changing the stream or deviating from it completely without prior experience really lands many students in trouble. As the work atmosphere and the learned concepts really differ in practicality. Now I changed my opinion for pursuing MBA straight away without any prior experience every graduate should go for job and gain experience and should know the company atmosphere and standards depending on the requirement taking the decision for doing MBA or M.Tech really helps him/her to mold their path. I feel that before taking up higher studies student (graduate) should have experience of practicality it really helps.

Hi friends.

Engineering students doesn't wasting their time and management. They choose MBA after B.TECH because of their interests on that field. M.B.A or B.TECH doesn't matters KNOWLEDGE IS DIVINE. The one who has more knowledge in one particular field they can handle any situations in that.

After engineering, taking option of MBA is quite senseless as you are not utilizing what you earned in your 4 years engineering. You are entering to totally different stream. You Should prefer a option which give you a better option to utilize what you learned.

What if you are not able to select the specialization after getting a degree?

I have knowledge of my field but I am not able to decide where I fit. And management is altogether a different thing and its there in me. So basically an engineer can do anything is what I feel but what is the most or close to the most appropriate thing an engineer should do ?

And yes further studies is obviously an option and you have all the time in this world to continue your studies but still I feel stuck up at this point even after completing my degree with first class.

Hey Hi I'm a B.tech[chemical] Grad 2012 pass out. I want to do MBA after gaining some good work experience as it always helps me in MBA . From last one year I failed getting a good job as I'm technically weak and I think I'm good at managerial skills. So thing is now whether i should start preparing for GMAT now as Couldn't get a job from last year or should take up some course like SAP and start working on it and later after couple of years should I do MBA ?
I'm pretty confused guys . Could you suggest me what to do ?

Get an engineering degree and top it up with an MBA from a premier B-School. That's the classic recipe for corporate success. Not surprisingly then, a majority of Indian CEOs have taken this predictable route to the echelons of corporate power.

Hey!

What generally you think of this reviews. I think and to say frankly I always doubted what to do after my graduation. Even now I am not yet concluded. But to say frankly both these M.Tech and MBA are the only choices for us to get professionalized. The world is updating day by day and why isn't our study courses. I think one new course should be developed to us in order to be professionalized.
