There is a lot of difference between engineering and entrepreneurship, of course. Engineering deals with technicalities of the industries only, while BBA and MBA deals with proper entrepreneurship. However, if you have patience do both, because you will get knowledge about technicalities of your desired industry and also how to run a business and also be a production, distribution and management master and you can run your desired industry smoothly. First, do engineering and then an MBA. Preparing for IIT is a great start, and wish you luck in your future endeavours. Scoring good in 12th s not enough, you have to be excellent, and prove yourself unique and special in each and every aspect, because there is a lot of competition.
