Hi,
If you wish to pursue MBA from India then you need to take CAT test, whereas if you are interested in pursuing MBA from universities abroad, then you need to take GMAT test.
However, please remember in order to pursue MBA from good universities abroad, you need to have atleast 2-3 years of full time work experience after graduation.
I would suggest you to work for 2-3 years and then opt for further studies, the advantage of this step would be:
- You will gain relevant work experience.
- After working you will know which course to pursue that can further enhance your career prospects, i.e. if you wish to build your career in technical field, then you may pursue masters in same or related fields, whereas if you are interested in management then you may pursue MBA.
- The other advantage of work experience would be that during admission in MBA, you will have advantage over candidates with no work experience.
For your reference find below some of the finest institutes to pursue CAT and GMAT coaching:
- TIME.
- Career Launcher.
- IMS.

Hi Shantanu,
There is good scope in any field you choose ONLY if you have interest. Keeping your long term career goal in mind you need to think wisely as to which line you wish to pursue as it will help you to achieve your career goal.
As far as salary is concerned, there are many parameters on which it depends such as size of the organization, profile, qualification, experience, etc so it would be tough to provide you specific detail.
So, think and decide wisely before taking final decision.
To help you further I would like to invite Robin Agrawal and Nirmal Kr. to share their expertise.
