Hi Fraheen,
If you are talking about the CAT test fee it is Rs. 1600 but it keeps on changing with every year, If you are talking about the MBA course fee, it varies from Institute to Institute, however, almost all the top notch Institutes will have fee ranging from 8lacs to 15lacs. Coming to your second query the difference between ICET and CAT is that CAT is a National Level Entrance Examination for MBA which is acceptable by most of the Institutes whereas ICET is a State level Entrance Examination only applicable to a particular state. If you talk about the value of both the Entrance Examination CAT will definitely have more value as it increases your scope to apply to more B-Schools and is not limited to one state.
Coming to your career growth yes MBA after an Engineering programme definitely can boost up your career, but advisable would be that whenever you plan your MBA, it should be from a decent B-School so that you could get right returns on investment.

Hi,
As you are still pursuing graduation, so it would be advisable for you to work for 1-2 years, after completing graduation and then opt for higher studies.
The advantage of this step would be:
You will gain relevant work experience, and you will learn how to implement theoretical knowledge in practical situations.
After working you will know in which field you are actually interested in i.e. if you are interested in technical field than you can pursue Masters in same or related field, where as if you are interested in management side you can opt to pursue MBA.
If you are interested in MBA, then this work experience would help you to get admission in good universities.
Finally if you work for some years, you can yourself finance partial or full tuition fees for the universities.
I hope this answers your query.

HI,
Both the courses you have mentioned i.e PGDM (Finance) and (General) are good course to pursue and has good career prospects and offers growth opportunities.
In PGDM general you will be taught the insights of all the management subjects like marketing, HR, Finance ect, in the first year, and during the second year you can opt for any specialization of your choice.This course has a wider scope because even though you opt for specialization in second year, but you will be taught in detail about various management subjects.
In contrast PGDM (Finance) is a specialized course, where from first year itself you will be taught exclusively in the field of finance only, it is basically a hard core finance course, so if you have decided that you will make your career in the field of finance only, then you can opt for this course.
The advantage of PGDM general is that, if while studying in first year you realize that you do not have interest in finance and you wish to make your career in marketing, so you can opt for marketing as your specialization in second year.
So before opting for any course you must first decide in which field you wish to pursue your career and accordingly you can opt for the course.
I hope this answers your query.
