hiii friends. i would like to seek advice from my seniors and would like them to answer my query.
actually i would like to know if doing mba after btech cse is a good thing to do,
rather my question only concentrates on a query that people speculate that if we do mba after btech ,then we have wasted our 4 years doing btech,cause our btech knowledge wont be needed at all in the future.
i would like people whoever reading this ,to throw more light into this topic. and respond . is it really true that doing mba after btech nullifies our 4 years spent in the btech. i myself being in 3rd year btech ,am curious to know ,as i have to take some tough career decisions in some time.

Dear Member,
It doesnt matter in which field you have done your graduation from since your post graduation will cover the graduation degree. The Graduation degree will be beneficial in the manufacturing industry where a candidate has done his / her B.tech / B.E. in Mechanical and if that candidate goes for MBA in Marketing course, then it is beneficial only if that candidate goes in Marketing in a Manufacturing industry then his / her Engineerings knowledge as well as marketing knowledge will be used beneficially....
Otherwise if you have done your B.Tech / B.E. in Mechanical in a specific field, then after your master's degree you should choose a company which will benefit your graduation knowledge as well as your's Master's knowledge...

Hi Snawalgaria...
B.E/ B.Tech has their own benefits..and As Ankit put it across that PG accentuates the potential of our graduation also..
Like you will find many IIM graduates are already Engineers in some or the other field and MBA just increased their potential in market...
One just need to be clear in their career planning which is of utmost importance, you should be having good reasons to do MBA..not just because it is a trend.
Ask some question..why did you select B.Tech? and How would an MBA degree will add to it?...you will find answers..
If you need our help do write to us with answers of above mentioned queries....

Hello Saurabh,
First & Foremost, let me congratulate you--NOT many make this sort of an effort to plan out the career path even after passing out--let alone even before passing out.
Adding to what Ankit & Archna mentioned & to answer your query reg concentrating on CAT, etc, pl note that concentrating on completing your BTech is your first priority--since without this degree there won't be the next step.
Coming to the dilemma of which direction to go from here, here is some food for thought.
To summarize, you have the following paths you wish to evaluate [to begin with, pl forget for a moment about CAT, etc]:
1] Stop with BTech & join a job...obviously will have to be a technical line.
2] Do MTech & go into the technical line
3] Do MBA & get into the management line.
So the 'First Choice' you need to make is whether you want to go into the technical or management line. YOU will be the best judge for this decision...or take the help of those WHO KNOW YOU BEST-does not necessarily have to be parents, mind you. For this step to be done in a WELL-INFORMED WAY, you may need to consider your basic temperament, aptitude, attitude, interests, etc.
Once this choice is made, indirectly, you have your answer whether to focus on CAT or MTech or stop with BTech.
Assuming you decide to go for the management line, then comes your dilemma again on which field to choose--I think there's time for this step. So suggest pl don't tax yourself too much. Like they say: cross the bridge when it comes.
Now coming to your core query: "is it really true that doing mba after btech nullifies our 4 years spent in the btech". In a way, this input will be needed for your Step 1 decision-making process.
In general, a BTech graduate is one of those who has a higher IQ than many other lines/subjects of study--basically since the analytical thinking that this Degree needs is higher. Hence, such an IQ background will only become an added advantage to any other avocation pursued. Since your subject in BTech is CS, IF you do MBA, you could fit into any of the IT companies in management roles--since you already have the approx domain knowledge. And this aspect doesn't come into the picture, if you decide to pursue the technical line.
Another point that will have a bearing later on in your career: Irrespective of your choice being Technical OR Management line, pl note that INVARIABLY EVERY TECHNICAL PERSON WILL HAVE TO GET INTO THE MANAGEMENT mental frame of mind as his/her career progresses--including Design/R&D jobs roles. At the end of the day, any organization is a group of people which needs to be guided/controlled/handled & THIS REQUIRES management skills.
So, there's NO ESCAPE from management, whether one likes it or not.
Hope this helps you to make a WELL-INFORMED DECISION, rather than confusing further :-)

Hello Saurabh,
It's never too late for education, learning to be more precise--as long as it's with a definite purpose & focus.
Maybe the gap between your BTech & MBA is destined to bring about the clarity FOR YOU to decide WHICH Specialization you need to take in MBA?
Go ahead & All the Best.

Hello Saurabh,
We conducted a workshop at VIT, Vellore on a complementary topic. Prof. Adithan was the coordinator and Prof. Vivek from Robotics was the inviting faculty. We actually covered this very topic in a more radical way to help students understand their career options and the needs from both intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives. You might want to contact Prof. Adithan on this as we had discussed a repeat program back then, but we have still not decided on anything yet.
