Why do engineering graduates opt for MBA?

[drnaga]

Okay, we all know that most(compared to other fields) of the applications for under-graduation go for engineering and it is also notable the most of the MBA applicants have a engineering background? The ratio can determine that it is obvious that engineers go for MBA as their first choice seeing in a wider aspect.

In a way, it is an advantage for engineering to opt for the same compared to other fields.

Actually its more of a peer pressure that just about everyone wants an MBA degree.

And why more pressure on engineering graduates?

In my point of view pursuing MBA after engineering degree is one's personal interest. It doesn't mean a man can grow after MBA. Technology is growing fast day by day. Done MBA after the Engineering Degree is added advantage. But in India so many political leaders are running our country without pursuing MBA. So managing skills and leadership quality depends on ones own skills and interest.

Engineering course develops Analytical and logical skills in an individual and when these skills are combined with managerial skill-It becomes an Unbeatable combination.

Statistics also prove this fact as most of the students who cracks CAT and other exams are engineers.

For any foundation your base should be strong, and engineering provides us with this as in engineering we learn technology and in MBA we learn how to implement these technology in various aspects of organization.

Also today is the world of globalization that involves not only transfer of technology, products and goods but also services that involves human interaction, so MBA that teach us all this with Engineering becomes a best suited Combination.

Or is it just a illusion that MBA grads are far superior than Engineering graduates? MBA does offer the additional edge over others.

Many get placed soon after their UG, only some really have the personal interest on pursuing higher education. These two categories will probably come under the good educational institutions. May be others try to get in jobs through other means.

So, then there is a group of students who don't get through any and they are the ones who are forced under pressure to do their MBA. This does apply for a few but will not represent the entire crowd.
