Very interesting topic. Management studies should be a part of every ones life. Managing doesn't deal only with business it helps lot in their personal life. Managing people, family are very important than performing job in top companies. Management studies helps in improving their personality.

Knowing concepts and being best in that is not enough. Individuals should know how to bring out their talent, mingling with people, how to get the jobs done easily. Should be a smart worker. Engineering people should go for management studies.

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.

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.

Hey Hi I'm a B.tech[chemical] Grad 2012 pass out. I want to do MBA after gaining some good work experience as it always helps me in MBA . From last one year I failed getting a good job as I'm technically weak and I think I'm good at managerial skills. So thing is now whether i should start preparing for GMAT now as Couldn't get a job from last year or should take up some course like SAP and start working on it and later after couple of years should I do MBA ?
I'm pretty confused guys . Could you suggest me what to do ?

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 Buddies.

The opinions which is shared above is correct for someone and its not correct for some other. What I would like to tell you is one can opt for any higher degree its only based on their interest and skills. Because they are the one who has to work in their position and get excelled. If one does not posses any kind of skills in Management and still if he does MBA. Where does he will lead finally. Finally one has to asses their own skills and ideas and need to take proper step after their graduate degree.

Hello friends,

Its really great to get to know about different people's opinion, but according to me, whether it is engineering or management studies, all depends upon the student individual interest. They should completely study about them. They should get a clear views and ideas about their carrier. They should not go for MBA for their self respect or for an entertaining environment, why because money of parents matters a lot guys. Please realize about your passion, desire and choose your MBA guys. Good luck.

I also agree with the topic. Most of the engineering graduates think that doing MBA after their engineering is a better way to lift their Careers. There are a lot of things to do after B-tech. One who has a better Management skills always shine.

Although, It is one's personal interest. Engineers are those who lead the society. The leadership and management skills are to be practiced and adopted in their day-to-day life. So let me conclude by saying that before taking every step in life, think twice.

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.

@Aditya Deshmukh.

An Engineer in a product based company like CISO, NetApp get starting CTS of 7-8 lpa whereas an MBA from a non-IIM start with 3 lpa in some x/y/z organisation. Similarly if an engineer in a service based company like TCS, WIPRO has lots of opportunities to travel overseas but after doing MBA if you land up in a bank or Insurance sector then you have confined your geographical boundaries. In short, Engineers are wasting time doing MBA if they are not doing it from IIM.
