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

Hello everybody.

My opinion on this statement is a different one. I feel that technical knowledge with the right management skills is a perfect combination. Skills, knowledge as well as abilities are all the underlying factors behind a person's successful career. A management degree is another feather to the hat of an engineer who wishes to have a bright future. Above all it is a personal opinion of a person regarding his or her education interest. Its a matter of fact that education will only only brighten our chances of success and so does the management studies that enhance the managing skills and abilities of any person who belongs to any domain. Yes, an MBA after engineering has become one of the highest salary grossers.

Thank you everyone.

Hello everyone!

I think its a matter of personal opinions and aims in life.

People who just want to involve themselves to the technical part can be satisfied with a bachelors or masters engineering degree. Yes, it is true that the growth will stop after a certain point and so will the salary increment rate but this option is good for the people who really enjoy the work and anything apart from that won't matter to them.

For the people who aim at limitless growth in a company need to accept the fact that they need both the technical as well as management skills. To add, an MBA degree after a bachelors or masters degree in engineering will be a great option. Following this path will actually open variety of fields and widen the scope.

Many don't consider degrees important, but the bitter fact is that it is important to the person hiring or promoting you as it is the only thing that will add value to your experience after your performance. It is just a certificate or a proof to show that you have the required skills and people use this proof to compare one with the other.

Hello guys!

I am a B.Tech mechanical from a well reputed university. What I saw in the people's mind nowadays, is to get a good job and handsome salary package so in the direction of getting these, they opt for MBA after their B.Tech courses.

What my point to tell you all is to introspect yourself first and realize your interest and potential rather than going with the people views and opting for MBA after B.Tech is not a bad option though as it must be done to get yourself promoted to the managerial positions in the company you are working in.

Thank you all.

Greetings to all the participants of this discussion.

Well, I am a B.Tech, and to give a clear opinion of what I want say, I'd just like to give two prominent examples to all of you,

1. The CEO of the most popular search engine-Google, Larry Page, is NOT an MBA degree holder.

2. The CEO of the most popular sms-Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is NOT even a graduate, leave alone being an MBA.

Thus, this proves that MBA is not the main requirement of a B.Tech graduate, neither should it be, only talent and real skills should be considered, 'Because degrees do not do work for any firm.

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. This is Devender Arya.

Yes I am agree with this. Without technology and management skill. We can not go for to start our firm. So according to me which students have done the B.Tech they can go for MBA after that those wants to start our organization. Because without going these two courses we can't build a company because a company is deal with technology and management.

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 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 want to ask that is doing MBA after B-Tech in EE a good option? What are the placement opportunities and is their going to be any link between what I am the stuffs taught in B-Tech and MBA. If yes, from when shall I start preparing for it? I am a 2nd year student.

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.
