What To Do After Engineering? MBA Or M.Tech?

Usually, the final year students of engineering are quite confused about what path to choose after completing their graduation—MBA or further masters? In this blog, we are going to discuss these two fields in brief and help you choosing the field that is best fitted for you.

The answer to whether you should choose M.tech or MBA depends on what do you want to do in your career in log run? If you want to go deep into the subjects of engineering and wish to do some research projects in the future then we suggest you  peruse further masters and later on go for a Ph.D. but if you have managerial skills and you are more of a leader and strategist, then go for an MBA in top management college of the country. 

An MBA typically contains the following components:

• ·         Banking
• ·         Consultancy
• ·         Management
• ·         Public dealing
• ·         Finance 

The M.tech cover the following fields:

• ·         Research
• ·         Engineering equipment
• ·         Academics
• ·         Developments

There is no doubt that an MBA degree can help you make a fabulous career in the field of management. The employment opportunities for an MBA graduate are massive and packages are simply amazing. If you very much interested in being an entrepreneur and wish to start a new business venture then we suggest you do some course of business management in Delhi.

MBA is for those students who have managerial skills and Mtech is for those who are creative and know the technical stuff quite well. Your career is a very important part of your life and you should choose a field according to your preferred taste. At the end of the day, it is all about loving your job and you should make this decision wisely.        

Annual Fests: Fun Time For Management Students

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when someone talks about MBA or management schools? Students dressed in formals all geared up for presentations, back-to-back lectures, late-night group studies, campus placements, etc. are the things that come to mind. Surviving in a good management school is undoubtedly very difficult. However, it would be unfair to say that the management students do not get to have any fun at all, because they do. Almost every college- management or otherwise- nowadays hosts its annual festival which gives students ample opportunities to learn as well as have fun.

It usually starts with formation of a cultural committee composed of students from various departments after several rounds of interviews. There are other ways as well, of course. For instance, each department takes complete responsibility of all activities pertaining to the department. Students are also expected to put up a good show despite the hectic schedule observed in all good Delhi management institutes. Students try to miss minimum classes to prepare for the events in the fests. While they are required to put in extra efforts in academics after the fest, many students don’t seem to mind because they enjoy arranging and participating in the events.

Many consider this a waste of time, but what they do not realise is that organising events helps students in their overall growth as well. Team spirit, an essential characteristic of a good manager, can be learnt through such events as there is no way one person can organise the fest on his/her own. Students learn to work in teams, allocate work, coordinate effectively, manage time, etc. – everything they will be required to do as managers.

Hence, if you do manage to get admission in one of the top ranked MBA colleges in Delhi, make sure you do contribute in the annual fest in some form. Not only would you have a lot of fun, you are bound to make great friends and learn more skills in the process.

Some Reunions Are Special

College reunions are strange. They take you back to a time where you used to think what you want to be from what you are now. In my recent visit to Delhi, I attended our college reunion from where I had completed my MBA. Now it is counted as one of the top ranked MBA colleges in Delhi, and it was a proud moment to enter the premises of my colleges after quite a few years!

I realized that reunions are like time machines which take you back in time and also bring you back to reality. I did not expect so many of our batch mates would turn up, I guess everyone wanted to catch up with each other and re-kindle those crazy MBA days for a few hours. The IILM campus now looks even better with increased space and better infrastructure from what we had in our time. “Lucky are the present students!” We all discussed amongst ourselves. The initial time flew by just saying hello to so many people who we have not been in touch with. Then, noticing their drastic change in looks and appearance. Some were showing the early signs of ageing while some have had a total make over.

Everyone asked what are they doing these days, some even found prospective business partners! Most of them married and engaged, the priorities of most people have taken a different turn. Nostalgia had engulfed all of us even with different realities. Strange, once we all had one goal in life: to successfully complete our MBA program. Now we have so many more! It was a great time meeting those people of our lives who we were with, when we were still struggling to become someone.  The best thing to realize is, even when you become that ‘someone’ some relations and feelings do not change. 

Skills Needed For MBA In Marketing

My sister recently made up her mind to go for Masters of Business Administration or MBA as we call it. She is been preparing for the entrance exam ever since she has made up her mind. She was initially as to what specialization she should opt for after she gets through an MBA college. I suggested her to go for marketing as I know she would pull that off.

I had myself done an MBA in Marketing from one of the leading Management Institutes in Delhi, so I was able to come to her rescue to put an end to her confusion. If you too, have a knack of sales, branding and advertisement, then marketing is the best specialization for you.

To get into one of the best MBA colleges in India for an MBA in Marketing, one needs to have a certain set of skills. I knew my sister well, so I knew she already had a few of them and could develop on the rest. To achieve success in MBA with Marketing you need to have a logical approach. Communication skills are also a must as you are likely to get placed in companies where you would be required to exercise you communication skills on a daily basis. Reasoning skills should be sound, backed by a problem solving and decision making skills. Jobs in the Marketing sector would require you to make quick decisions and come up with a solution in case of some contingent issues crop up.

To formulate Marketing strategies you should be able to obtain the correct insights. For that on must be keen on the current affairs and keep updated about the industry and the brands in the market.

As Marketing managers, you would be required to come up with innovative promotional strategies that helps prompt the sales of the product or the service and bring in revenue.
