    Yes, MBA is too good for Mechanical Engineers because you learn lot many subjects in Mechanical Engineering related to MBA. And being a Mechanical Engineer you are creative. Companies related to Mechanical Engineering requires sales executive who has knowledge of mechanics, not just pure business knowledge. When a Mechanical engineer with MBA goes out to sell product based on Car (for example) he can better explain what is 'bhp' and 'hp' or 'rpm'. If you are planning to do it, then go for it. What type of MBA will be the best: - Operation Management (Supply chain) or Human Resources - Product Management.

    Mechanical Engineering with MBA seems to be a good combination, especially when you are learning Project Management, Quality Management or Operations Management, but for MBA aspirants your stream of study may not be a barrier.

    It depends in which field you are interested. If you like playing with numbers, handling account, administration, or have ability to convince others then MBA is perfect for you because it has various courses like operational MBA , marketing MBA, finance MBA.
    But if you love machine, drawing and many more such aspects then you can select ME,M.Tech., but it all depends on your interest.
    Best of luck.

    Dear kushagra, MBA after mechanical engineering is a good option that you can consider as many recognised MBA streams are similar and relatable to mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineers are good when it comes to logic. Mechanical engineering graduates learn skills like business morals, marketing, finance, strategy, law, etc. The best option to choose for your MBA specialisation is Operation management. After completing your B.E in mechanical, the stream of operations management can be the best extension of your past studies. MBA in operation management will give you exposure in various areas of business operations and functions.

    Yes as per my practical experience, its always recommended to pursue MBA immediately after B.Tech. Provided the student is intended to make his / her career in Management domain with the blend of Technical domain expertise. I had seen many of my batchmates who had pursued only B.Tech. With a thought process of pursuing MBA later on, they find little difficulty in taking decision of leaving the job once joined corporates. Definitely Regular mode of MBA having great valuation instead of Distance. An MBA will offer you a wealth of advantages in terms of High end Managerial Career right after your study, especially when you studied this pr
