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

Engineering students can do MBA but then what will commerce stream students do. They will remain jobless or doing penny jobs. Because unless and until you do MBA from good b school like IIM you will not get good job. And then comes in picture the useless cat exam that focuses on maths instead of business knowledge and ethics so here the engineering students score high because they have spent more then 5 years in calculations and cracking such exams is easy for them. So actually the problem is with the exam pattern of CAT which does not allowed the commerce students to enter their college. They must think that it will be really a lively and interactive study section if done with commerce students, they can built good entrepreneurs for the nation but they are just in the race of building servants serving abroad. Engineers must from the start itself take other stream instead of engineering if they are not interested rather then deciding later because of them the person interested in engineering didn't got a seat and after that a commerce student didn't got seat in Best B school.

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 all.

I'm Vignesh, some of the people say MBA is good or MBA is bad after B.Tech. I'm working in a firm where we will be in touch with several people who have completed their MBA. My point is MBA is a worthy course but depends upon where you do because the course material varies from one to one. In my company, I'm seeing two kinds of MBA professionals. One from IIM and good business schools who earn a minimum of 8-9lpa and the other who earn 3-4 lpa.

So this is the actual fact, peoples and recruiters don't see what have you learned but they see from where you are graduated from.

As per the suggestion given by Mr. Namasya das why most of the people go for engineering is because of economic background where we can complete our degree very cheaply in less rated engineering colleges.

Moreover in India there are more than 120000 engineering colleges in is account there are only 10's or 50's are the best colleges.

Rest of the colleges are the worst colleges as such that the students didn't even know the subjects full name Nd syllabus even.

And the teaching staff of these college's are worst enough to teach an engineer.

So most of the engineering student won't get job in MNC's.

So they think like already we have wasted over 4 years of engineering. Better we can go to MBA so we can learn so management skill such that we can do some job or can do some business while sitting weastly.

I think if every engineer gets good technical skill to learn in college they won't get an idea to do MBA.

So doing MBA is best in my point of view.

But we should learn hard to get successful.

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.

I think opting for MBA after BE is good platform to diversify our skills from technicals to managerial. It will help in growing ecomically and mentally in an organisation. By learning mangement skills, we will have a better understanding of implementation of technical concepts in solving a problem effectively.

Engineering students are wasting their time in management studies; they have another way to go.

First, we should understand that education is gaining knowledge in the profession, we like let it be an MBA or Engineering.

Secondly, management skill is most important to all engineers, engineering teaches us the way to innovate, but management teaches us the way to make money and fame out of the invention.

Not only for marketing, but a good operation manager can make a failure manufacturing process into a successful one, but this possible only when he has some knowledge in engineering with management skills (leadership, communication, collaboration, business management etc).

If you have the skill to understand and gain knowledge, other than studying it like a course, you can be a more successful in the field you have chosen to grow for future.

Engineers joining management give multitasking ability for engineers. For example 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.

This is one of the reasons for engineers joining management. After joining management, engineer's technical skills leaved behind, it is a myth. Engineers joining management are not a national waste. It is an advantage for our nation. Management is very important part of professional life of engineer. Most of the engineers joint management courses for getting jobs in bank. Joining management after doing engineering shows disliking or less interest toward engineering. So living engineering is better option than doing it with less interest.

Maximum B.Tech student doesn't know, How MBA is useful for them if there is no scope, Ex. B.Tech Mechanical doing work on machines, but after doing B.Tech he selects MBA & do preparation for Banking sector.

Still, maximum students working like donkey walk. I request to all new generation, if required then do B.Tech otherwise select B.COM & B.Sc for other career options.

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.
