Dear guys,

According to me interest is really a foolish thing to believe in. Only ability matters not interest. Ultimately money matters. What kind of life you want? How much luxury it should be? depending on this choose your field.

While doing engineering I was more passionate about technical things later it changed entirely. Now for me family matters. I want to spend more time with my family. I am ok with the job which gives me time to spend with family. I can compromise money for that.

That's why I chooses to do M.Tech and Ph.D and teaching line.

Hi every one,

First of all happy to see that many are sharing their thoughts which will be very useful for a student to shape his career. From my perspective it all depends on individual how he want to shape his career his interests curiosity to learn what and what not. Because it is you who knows well about you and none others. So follow what your mind says good to you and to the society if possible.

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.

Well I think most engineering graduates in technical fields like chemical and petrochemical choose MBA just because they are fed up of their work in field. Too much exposure to chemicals and sunlight will make you hate this job in ones early years. I am a B-Tech in Instrumentation and was just googling for MBA courses when I found this discussion.

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.

I strongly disagree with the mentioned topic, as post graduation in management surely offers vast expertise and also more salary offers. More often than not the students who don't qualify for top notch schools for graduation (IITs ot NITs) don't get satisfactory job options. And not all students can qualify GATE or go for research and PhD courses.

MBA seems a fair and opportunistic option for those willing to earn better and gain experience. It also widens the knowledge base of an engineer.

For engineering I will not say that it is a waste of time but still there are a huge number of students studying engineering so it has became very very much common. If suppose there are 200 house in a locality then at least 100 of them must have boys or girls studying engineering.

That's why something new something unique should be tried of course of their own stream subjects. Then it will also increase the student's interest if he/she starts liking that particular subject. Last of all always listen to what your mind says.

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.

Hello,

According to me, we should live our life like a bird, which can fly anywhere same way its all up to you and your way of thinking, rather I would like to say our own way of positive thinking if you feel internally that I would go with MBA after BE/B.TECH then its totally your choice.

Doing anything after any course will be preferable either you go for further studies or for a job, there's only one thing to make sure is your dedication towards it so go for things what you like not what your parents/friends, set goals within yourself for what to do after BE/B.TECH whether MBA/ME/MCA/LLB/JOB or anything else ask yourself and choose the field of your INTEREST believe me you will feel that you the only happiest person in the world if an only you will choose what your heart says.

Note:- Please do not follow the stream blindly in which your friend is going like goats and sheep's try to use your brains even after reading all this comments also and at last do what you have to be?
