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

Most of the people are living with wrong perception that doing an MBA after engineer will make their career better which is no way relevant. Barring some 5% job profiles where an MBA with the B-Tech is desired for growth, in most of the cases a guy studies Computer Science engineering and then peruse MBA because his cousin/friends are doing and then finally land up in a banking job or any FMCG sector job. i.e. he just wasted his engineering degree.

As far as money is considered, a Software Engineer working with a good IT company makes more money than a so called MBA from any X/Y/Z college. An engineering degree is more powerful degree then MBA. If at all any one wants to go for MBA after engineering, he/she should do it only from a Tier-I college otherwise its just waste. I have 8 years experience in the industry and I have seen it.

Hello friends, you are having different prospect & good thinking. Here I am sharing my view.

According to my opinion both may seem different field, but both are mutually correlated as interpreted. The students doing engineering are sharpened by their skills (obviously I am talking about the laboring students who have learned their subject) , but when leaving college when you join any company, you will expect there different scenario, where lot of people are involved in doing a task. There require a managerial skill which can be polished through management studies. Also doing management you will get extra skills as well as you will add some more advantage in your organisation. So doing management is a must if you want to really see yourself up in your career ladder and to survive in the competitive environment as well.

All of you have given some excellent points on why should an engineer should not go for MBA, but just think about the problem. When a student who has scored 90%+ comes in 11th standard, he has three options to choose from Bio, Maths and Commerce. Commerce which is not majorly popular for a student who has scored such good marks according to society. So he takes up Maths. Further, he has the option of giving or not giving JEE mains. Which he has to because according to society, the most 'safe' option after 12th is to become an engineer. After 3 years of college, he realises that I don't belong in this branch, and I can't study it. So he has no other option than to go for MBA because due to his lack of interest in his branch he has not acquired skills that will excel his career in his branch.

Let's think about logically and statically. Students are in trouble what can be do after B-Tech?Except good colleges students (IIT's, NIT's, DEEMED & Gov's college) many students are facing problem due to lack of exposure and chances to go further for their bright future in technical line, and at the end also money comes with a big problem.

Like a big exam GATE, chances of getting in to PSU's & GOV's company someone have to score more then 90 percentile. Here is no chances for getting through in with less percentile. After that students are become more trouble about of their career. Hell can be optimized if job related any good exam will be conducted like GATE & CAT. In future we can see the choice of balance for TECHNICAL & MANAGEMENT studies in among all student throughout India.

I am doing my Masters in Engineering after completing my bachelors and I personally believe it totally depends on your talent. I have also worked in companies during my two internships and I found even the diploma holders and the people with the bachelors degree are on the managerial post.

If you are talented and dedicated and can impress your bosses than you definitely be promoted higher in a company without even a managerial degree with a very good pay scale. Its just helpful when you entered as a fresher or with 2 years of experience. Rest all your growth depends upon your efforts you show in your company. Do that what your mind says doing some research work or a small invention can lead you at a very good position in a company even without a managerial degree.

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.

These days, the competition in the job market is so high that to survive, one must possess some \'extra\' skills other than the regular graduation Degree! Piping Engineering, Structural Engineering course is one-of-a-kind. These courses are structured to raise the level of expertise in piping design and to improve the competitiveness in the global markets, provides various piping system designs, development skills and knowledge of current trends of plant layout. Average starting salary is between 20-40 k Rupees per month. This figure may vary, depending upon the profile of the employer and other Educational Qualifications of the worker. If it is from a reputed institute that you want to pursue this course from, I suggest you opt for ASTS Global Education.

Any decision was taken to secure our future always serves the best to survive after knowing the pros and cons of decision taken.

So if it is MBA + B.Tech, go for it where you can get a job with which you feel satisfied.

Sometimes we make superb decision and rely on it but soon we are brainwashed by mixed views of people. People can only mock on you but can't help you so forget it.

One of my friend who did B.Tech + MBA was doing managerial work in a company had gone technical training in between to fulfill some company task.

One person from WIPRO company told me that company always don't rely on degree, they gave training whenever required to use our technical front while doing managerial work. This versatility comes from B.Tech + MBA so go for it.

Some students are not able to do management studies because most of the students complete their engineering in very poor situations so they do their job after their engineering because he/she do their management studies after some years of the job so that the family's economic condition will be fine after some years.

And management studies are also complete in later years is possible so he/she choose job after engineering.

According to my opinion engineering, students do their job in the company for some years so that it will increase your knowledge In particular domain and other skills also increased so that if you do management study and you don't get the job at the level of management then you do the job at before the management level studies.

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.
