Hi, here some reason to opt for MBA after BE/B-Tech:.

1. "BE has enhanced my logical and analytic abilities. MBA gives me the whole picture of how an organization works. MBA is a practitioners degree and BE gives me a sound base to adapt, adopt and understand domain knowledge quickly to apply the same for Corporate Growth".

2. With MBA along with BE you can reach the top level management in a shorter period of time.

3. What I wanted to do was cultivate more of the functional side of a business; I wanted to know, Why are we implementing a system?If you present the same problem to an engineer and an MBA, both of them look at two different things. An engineer only looks at the data and the MBA looks at it in a higher perspective; he catches different things. No approach is wrong, the technical or the functional approach.

4. This ability to utilize both technical and business skills to provide solutions is a valuable asset: engineering undergraduates with an MBA are quickly snatched up in the workforce, an Intel talent recruiter told BusinessBecause.

Knowledge never goes waste. Learning a new thing won't dampen your ability or skills. I am an engineer myself and I want to pursue management studies. I realised during engineering that my managerial skills are better than my technical ones. I believe that once done with my MBA I will be wiser and deal with things in a broader way. Technical and management skills hand in hand will make my profile look better and invoke confidence in me.

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.

Good day guys. I think its all matter of your interest. What I have learnt in my life is the education system here is not complete and degrees are worthless but at the same time you are considered worthless by the most if you don't have a degree! All I would advice from a middle class guy's view is choose wise, live wise, save some money. Invest in education/future business that is worth for spending and do it only when you're able to carry it out successfully.

MBA along with BE/B-Tech is one of the choice. No bad about it! But in my view - any UG is better than BE for pursuing MBA. It is not difficult for an MBA holder to learn basics of engineering to understand technical functions taking place. Only invest in higher studies if you are clear on your plans and you are strong that you won't step back. Spend only for things that are worth for and only if your affordable!

Everyone want to know what is good after engineering but doing MBA should be of Symbiosis not of any afflicted university then there is much useful and can be placed in good post otherwise there is no use of doing only waste of money. Instead of this masters is really good especially in US or M-Tech in India. By this we can get good post and salary.

Hi this is Ankush I am an Engineer by Qualification (E and TC) , I want to share my view.

MBA is a universal masters degree and any graduate can go for MBA in order to improve his/her Managerial skills.

Its like taking a step ahead in your career. Today there is no business in this world run without technology, so isn't it nice to upgrade your learning and knowledge in terms of management as well so that we can represent ourselves as the complete package of what the businesses around the world require in today's date.

Hello guys,

First of all, I appreciate all of you for sharing your wonderful experience with us, which will really help many of us to shape our future.

Some of you believe that (B.Tech + MBA) or (B.Tech + M.Tech) is good option and indeed, it is to cast a better future.

But, I think, to be a true leader or expert in your field, you don't need degree, you just need a burning desire, curiosity, and a solid reason.

Just go get throw yourself in that only.

And say I don't know anything else, but it is my field no one can beat me in it.

A diversified person will never be successful in his life, no matter how intelligent he is.

So do hard work which will pave your career toward a best tomorrow.

Gaining any kind of knowledge is never a waste of time. A good engineering degree topped with MBA degree is great success mantra, which is also opted by many CEO's. Because anyone who has knowledge of both the stream definitely has upper hand when its comes for selection for higher post.

It is always beneficial to manage what you actually know rather than to manage just random something you have no idea about. For those who are saying that any one can get basically technical knowledge and there is no need for a engineer MBA student, well knowing just basics of any thing is different and knowing its core is different one ought to know how to manipulate it when time comes.

Nevertheless what to opt and what not is always matter of interest. MBA is when you know something thoroughly and you know you can manage it well. M.Tech is when you know something by heart and you know you can make it better. Choice is yours not of Some '3 idiots'.

Thank you.

Hello friends. This is Devender Arya.

Yes I am agree with this. Without technology and management skill. We can not go for to start our firm. So according to me which students have done the B.Tech they can go for MBA after that those wants to start our organization. Because without going these two courses we can't build a company because a company is deal with technology and management.
