Any kind of study BE it engineering or management cannot be called as a waste of time. It depends on individual choice and the demand of the market. In today's job portfolio it has been kind of mandatory to have multiple degrees and engineering in combination with an MBA degree is a gold coated candidate. It proves the candidate's interest in technology as well as in the management of an organization. And also his patience and perseverance towards studies. He not only can look after the technical faults in machinery but also can use prudential methods to overcome any odd arising in the organization by applying the managerial skill. So it is a well thought out plan to do an MBA course after completing the engineering degree. Thank you.

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.

Hi Good evening to one and all.
This is the most ongoing topic in today's world. I think for overall personality development Technical and Management skill both are required. Your progress is decided by 75%of management and 25%of technical skills you possess. After doing BE/BTECH we have technical skills so we should strive for management skill which is need of hour.
But it always depend upon individual to choose. I more point I want to say knowledge never goes useless and whatever we have studies we can use all. We all have studied chemistry, history etc, you can't say it was waste. But there are some social factors which need to be considered. One should work hard in whatever field he choose.
All the best.

Hello friends,
In my opinion, engineering students not only wasting their time but also the resources of a country. Millions of students in our country are graduating in engineering but still our country is lacking in technical field. Still, we are buying the technology for many purposes like bullet trains and defense sector from other countries. This clearly shows that engineers in our country are only wasting their time and resource. For example: One of my friend from metallurgy department of IIT Delhi got admission in IIM-A and finally get placed in Amazon company. Then isn't he wasting his knowledge of technology? Isn't it will be better for him as well as country if he works in the field of metallurgy.

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.

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.

If an engineer has done MBA for acquire management skills, get job in technical department of any company. That engineer can also handle management responsibility as well. This helps to increase their salary package, so national economy as well. In the competitive market scenario companies require multitasking employees.
You can opt MBA with B-Tech as a integrated course which is 5 years course or you can go for MBA after the completion of B-Tech degree but its take 6 years. Here I am the student of B-Tech + MBA integrated course from Quantum university which is situated in Roorkee, uttrakhand. Which is the best college for Technical and business studies in north India.

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.

Hello,
MBA is not just a source of money which is attracting engineers. Its a source of knowledge, an opportunity to learn more other than what science teaches us. Its what the present world is going through. If any student has done engineering and opt of MBA its well and good. It simply means he wishes to learn more and out of the box. It's the matter of fact that no one can just succeed only on the basis of tech knowledge or non-tech knowledge, but a proper mixture of both is seriously required for success and knowledge.
Thus, I conclude that engineering students are doing great by opting MBA. Its good for them as well as for society.

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.
