Doing an MBA after Engineering equips one with business knowledge along with technical skills. This way, if you ever want to open your own start-up company or are heading towards a managerial role in the near future, it becomes easier. It helps you to acquire the technical skills needed for your profession. However, in the current working environment, having an engineering degree alone is not sufficient. Nowadays, to give yourself a good base in your career path, you need a post-graduate degree, and this is where an MBA comes into play. Business, organizations, and companies need more than just specialty qualifications. They need people who understand the business environment, and can effectively work in it. Organizations are looking for leaders that can work, and also carry others along with them. Management skills are now the core requirements for organizations.

Dear Sameeksha, MBA after Engineering is a very good career option because diversity of subjects taught at an undergraduate level is quite narrow compared to an MBA Degree. Many students opt for an MBA because they feel it is the right path for a lucrative career; its the only logical option for them as it allows them to climb the organizational ladder faster. This happens for one of two reasons. They SEE that many of their higher-ups are MBA graduates. And to reach that position, they too should have an MBA degree. They are impressed by the extraordinary leadership and communication skills the degree offers. They observe that MBA graduates are more confident and polished, and as such succeed better. MBA colleges in India cover many core areas like Finance, HR, Business Analytics, Statistics, Economics, etc. Thus, you have a wider playing field and can expand your horizons in either one of these. With this exposure, you can expect jobs in multiple sectors of business. And of course, most of the companies require MBA graduate for posts like Manager. Students who have an engineering degree and an also an MBA degree have an added advantage for a good career in IT companies require both technical knowledge and also management skills. There are many good universities which encourages B.Tech student to do MBA like IILM University Gurugram, Amity, Jaipuria College. For more information, please visit the websites. Hope this help!

I will tell you few points and I gonna suggest you a good college to pursue MBA at the end. High Income This is a very important point to consider and many B.Tech students tend to pursue MBA afterward because of a fatter pay-check. If you want more zeros in your pay check, then MBA after engineering is the right option for you. The difference can be marginal or quite high depending on your experience. Otherwise, the average salary after graduating MBA is about INR 6,87,000 per year or maybe higher, which when compared to that of a B.Tech graduate, is up to INR 5,70,000 on average per year. Credible career option An MBA graduate has much more credibility in terms of position, compared to employees of other courses. So, you would have a safer and more credible career path compared to other working officials. MBA after B.Tech. Will better prove your specialisation in a specific niche such as finance, business, IT, economics, management, marketing, etc. Although MBA alone is proof that you have specialised in one specific domain, and that adds more value to your resume. You can be your own boss There are many who pursue an MBA degree to get to high managerial posts in organizations, but some of them don't. They pursue an MBA in order to become entrepreneurs and starting their own venture. MBA training includes business management, planning, marketing, financial management, and many other skills that entrepreneurs need which makes it a highly desirable degree to be pursued after B.Tech. Safe Option MBA after B.Tech. Is considered a safe option as most of the time there is a placement guarantee. A simple undergraduate degree doesn't offer the same benefits. Most importantly, a lot of companies consider MBA graduates over B.Tech ones. There are lots of more benefits of pursuing an MBA after completing engineering if you are taking admission to a good university like LPU Here are the reasons why, LPU is helping me grow professionally and personally with its career-oriented programs and support. The Business School of LPU is accredited by ACBSP and Programs from the USA ensuring quality education and industry-experienced faculty members, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA. LPU has recently Marked among the Top 50 Best Management Institutes by NIRF ranking 2020.
