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

Good morning, afternoon, evening what is it.

Now just frankly speaking in engineering students are not getting enough salary as they desire. So then after spoiling 4 years of life they decide to do MBA. I agree that they have great knowledge but what is use of that knowledge in MBA. In in INDIA approx. 80% of MBA seats is occupied by engineering student and according to survey 70% placement are in banking, consulting companies so now you tell what is use of technical mind in engineering. So I give my opinion that select only one field and do concentrate your mind on only that thing and do hard work as much as possible. I am sure you will definitely get success in your life.

This is something which, in my opinion, is not true. One can always choose MBA after completing their Engineering Studies. But, with a minimum 2 year work experience after the engineering will make it even much better, reason being that one can understand about the insides of how corporate works, how different departments function, organisation management, people management, the necessary requisites for becoming a good leader, initiator along with a sound technical knowledge, which will definitely be a plus point after you pursue MBA in whichever field you're inclined to.

So, prior to everything, one should set a goal for himself/herself, and no matter what, if the goal is lucid in one's mind and one is determined to achieve it - Go for it! Stay focused, Nobody can stop you then.

All the best to all Aspirants! (I am also the one) :)

Bear in mind Engineering is a very vast field and what you learn in your engineering is only the way to think technically and scientifically. You are only 5% engineers when you pass the engineering course, if you work in the field of your studies you may become 50% engineers, therefore you have to learn and learn and strive to become at least 50% engineer before you retire. Hence if you have the opportunity and resources to continue your studies then pursue your studies in the field of your interest be it engineering or management in order to improve your knowledge and for self-development. Moreover please note in your young age you should look for opportunities where you can learn and gain expertise in your technical knowledge and not look for the salary and commercial aspect of the job unless there is a dire need to support your family.

As the engineering course teaches you to think technically and scientifically, the management course will teach you to think purposefully & strategically thus honing your technical skills further. However over the years of hard work to grow further in your career remember that you have to learn to manage people and finance, thus obtaining a management degree or any new skill and knowledge is any field as an engineer is never a waste.

There is lot of conversation on the techie guy and MBA graduates, I would like to add a point being a technical graduate one have the good knowledge of technical things and we know that operation is involved in in every field. So after MBA it would be easy to know the whole operation of business and if we are connecting the operation with the technical stuffs then it provide an edge. Moreover it helps one to know the business world and the technical part of 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.

Hello, friends, I am also a B.Tech graduate, and last one and half month I am searching for a technical job.

But the main problem which I faced is that there are various companies which give job for voice profile, not for technical post. So as a fresher without reference, it is too difficult to get a job in your core domain. Because there is no walk-in for fresher. And I thnk this is the main cause why most of the students choose to join any coaching for govt. Job preparation.

So according to my point of view, there should be more walk-in for technical jobs, it will help a lot for freshers. And it may be the cause to switch MBA after B.Tech.

Hi every one.

I am not a expert to explain about what you should do after your B-Tech degree, but I wish to say select your future as your mind says, once you have selected you have no turn backs, don't hallucinate in fairs of life.

Doing MBA after engineering is not waste of time because technical+management skills together can boost up the personality of a person, they can be effective leader, an entrepreneur but again It depends on personal interest, if they find they are technically good then they should keep on working and prove to be useful asset for the nation.

First of all I want to make one point is whatever we study it never goes wasted, with this point I want to say as doing MBA degree after engineering is just sharpening the managerial skills in someone after his/her technical education. And most of the MNCs today run on engineers and to tackle this crowd person with technical background along with MBA degree is the best choice. The fact is person who completed his/her engineering is comfortable with aptitude which brings him/her on the way of MBA so easily that's why today 80% of management seats in Management institutes are occupied by engineering students. To deal with engineers and engineering work in MNCs Manager with technical background is always a preferable option for MNCs.

I don't agree with the thing that engineers are wasting their time in doing MBA because engineers can do innovations through their own field by building their own company which may be later supported technology with the current trends and innovations. This can be possible through MBA which provide knowledge of job market and current technology trend and financially managerial skill.
