MBA VS MTech

There are lot of questions arises when you are in your final year like what to do after B.Tech: Job or Higher Studies? If Higher Studies, then from where abroad or with in native country? Apart from these questions biggest question stuck in our mind MBA or MTech/ME?

Abroad:

o   GRE     : Especially to get Admission in MS but some colleges/universities allow for MBA too.

o   GMAT :  Exam for MBA

Is M.Tech and B.Tech same?

You heard from many there is no difference between MTech and Btech. "All MTech and BTech students sits in same class to study" this statement is totally correct. So, now question arises why should I pursue MTech? M.Tech is not for those who have done their B.Tech from elite5 , tier1 or tier2 engineering colleges in India. Therefore, if you are really interested in doing M.Tech and belongs to tier1 or 2 then simply go for dual degree. For those, who belongs to tier3 colleges M.Tech is totally different for you as in tier3 colleges we only taught those subjects only whose professors are available in college and sufficient to get engineering degree. If you are confused whether M.Tech and B.Tech is same or not that confusion is over now as it depends on college you belong.

Who earns more MBA or Mtech?

It depends in which company you are working and at what position. Generally, MBA have higher salary but it does not mean that Mtech have less. Whatever your position in company you always controlled by your manager, sad but true. Opportunities neither less in MBA nor in MTech. Don’t think of money, just pursue your Interest in both fields you earn enough money.

Why MTech?

If you are inclined towards technology and belongs to tier3 colleges then without any single thought go for MTech. Pursue MTech over job if and only if you get top college otherwise not. In MTech you will going to learn new subjects and experience too. Mostly it is difficult to get job in product based companies if you are not belongs to top college. Experience does not matter while placement but it will give you an upper edge over other at the time of interview. While studying you will get Rs 12,400 per month as scholarship. Therefore,you have not to worry about your fees. Moreover, you get an exposer how to teach students as you become TA (Teaching Assistant). It also add as Experience in your resume although it doesn't play vital role but help you to look different from others in a long time. There are lot of other advantages too like at that time you are mature enough what subjects are good for you and what are not, your peers are also experienced hence at that time you are not among the group who have same mindset as many of your peers are from different states and have experience in different domains. You also achieve position what MBA students achieves but after experience.

Why MBA?

If you are not inclined towards technology, bored with coding stuffs and want to try new domain. MBA is completely a different domain for you if you have done engineering and never participated in co-curricular activities (like societies/fests/events). In MBA, most important role play marketing skills there are others too. You are going to increase your contacts (i.e. personal relationships) with companies. You have advantage if you have done engineering as there are IT companies which are looking for BTech+MBA combination as you can interact with client as well as back-end Team with an ease, moreover you can understand and convey technology better. You are not limited to IT domain companies, whereas MTech are! Your position in company is always above MTech (comparing both at fresher's level) students.Other benefits you can easily found on other websites.

To write this blog is to remove confusion from your mind what to do next? As It is pretty simple if you don't like technology go towards MBA without any second thought. But if you are good in technology but your peers are doing MBA that’s why you wanted to do MBA, please don't take this step as at the end you are the only sufferer. So, take a wise decision in which field you want to pursue but remember it is good if you pursue from top college. Both fields have their own importance in market. Once you decided what you want to pursue it easy to come at decision from where you have to pursue just look into your pocket and choose college form India or Abroad :)

Note: If you belongs to branches like mechanical then it is good to try for PSU or IES jobs otherwise do MBA not MTech.
