Why MBA after Engineering

Why MBA after Engineering
There are many engineering students and professionals who choose management fields as their professional career line. For many engineers, it’s a matter of luck while for a few others it’s a field of choice. I am also an advocate of doing MBA after engineering and for that purpose I’ll share some thoughts and opinions which will explain you the myth behind this.

Luck brings many Engineers here: This is a fact! When graduating engineers start applying for jobs, many of them will be placed in companies which will require them to work in departments like Supply Chain, Marketing, Sales, Finance and Operations/Project management. These fields have nothing to do with their educational background. They are trained to do all these tasks under one year training program called “Graduate Management Trainees” in most cases. This is the time when they start losing interest in their engineering education and they feel more comfortable in less technical tasks. Besides this luck factor, there are many other reasons why engineers choose to be managers and study MBA after engineering degrees:

  • Higher Salaries: First reason which attracts many engineers towards management fields is that it’s highly paid field in a less technical work environment. In most of the cases, jobs for fresh graduates are highly paid in management field as compared to technical engineering jobs. Engineers working on technical projects will earn less than those who are working on managerial positions. Although work schedule on technical jobs is very tough as compared to managerial jobs.
  • Combined Functional and Technical Perspective: Because engineers who do MBA after engineering, prove to be a better asset for companies. Engineers and MBA both look at things in a different perspective. Engineers will always think in a technical approach and MBA will always think in a functional approach. Both approaches are important for business development. Now if an engineer is capable of thinking in both these approaches in a broader perspective, he can definitely play an important role in growth of an organization. This ability to utilize both technical and business skills to provide solutions is a valuable asset for any company.
  • Better job opportunities: Finding a job after a degree in engineering is very hard in this era of Globalization and Competition. You need to have something more. You need to stand out from the crowd. Now how you do it, it’s all dependent on you. Some graduates chose to get some professional certifications.
  • Interest: Of course this is another factor which drives us to do MBA after BE. As I said earlier, there are a few engineering graduates who do it by choice. Interest is their gravity which pulls them towards MBA.

I hope so far you have known some reasons behind doing MBA after engineering. Now that if you are interested in MBA after BE, there are some more tips for you:

MBA is not always a non Technical job. There are many students who choose fields like Quality Control, Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, Sales engineering, Auditing, Health and Safety as their major courses in MBA. This opens a complete new door of opportunities for them where they can enjoy working in both technical and managerial environments at the same time.

Looking forward to reading your comments and input about this article. Don’t forget to tell us what you think about studying MBA after Engineering. Your comments are a great source of encouragement for me to write more.

  2. Hello Madam, thank you for such a wonderful article. I was so confused about doing MBA after BE. Now i have made up my mind to do this after reading your article. I needed to ask one question:

    These days many universities and colleges are offering a degree for engineers with a title "MS in Engineering Management". Can you please tell which one is better? Doing MBA or MS in engineering management after engineering?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Hey thank you for asking this question. Both MBA and MS in engineering management are good for engineers. Later is more related to engineering operations and projects. It's more about managing engineering projects and products. While on the other hand MBA has different options of study and specialization like Supply Chain, Project management, Finance, marketing and HR etc. If you are interested in Quality Control, then it's taught in both these courses.

    1. Hello dear abed alqader salami. No it's not like that. The program you are talking about is called "Executive MBA". This is a weekend program in most of the cases designed to cater the needs of executives. Rest of the programs like MBA, Engineering Management, Project Management, Contract Management. Quality Control do not require 3 year experience in almost all of the cases.

  7. Hello maam! I wanted to ask one thing :)
    I am persuing M.E and recently in 2nd year!
    M.E is basically a technical degree which is related to designing, machinery works, etc while MBA is related to management works! What is the need of doing mba after M.E??
    I mean M.TECH is more suitable for a mechanical engineer!
    Please explain in detail :) and would also like to know scope after doing M.E and MBA?

    1. Hello Thank you for your participation. I am confused about what do you mean by M.E? I am assuming that you are doing Masters in Engineering. Right?

      Delete
    2. No ! M.E means mechanical engineering. I am persuing B.TECH !!

      Delete
    3. Ok so you are in B Tech. That's good. There is no need of doing MBA if you find technical work more attractive. If you have good interest in any of the subjects of mechanical engineering and you have real good grades then you must go for M. Tech in that subject. That's more suitable for you. Don't ruin your career just because MBAs are highly paid. You must take good care of your interest.

  8. It's complete waste of time and money. If your father has extra money in his accounts then you can waste that money in 2 years MBA program otherwise you need to stay away from it. There is no use of this course.

    By the way if you were interested in doing MBA in future then why you did BS/BE or B Tech in mechanical engineering? Why did not you choose BBA then? Just think about it. Save your money, save your time, save your knowledge of engineering.

    Once you are in MBA, you will forget everything about engineering. We need to keep practicing in our own field of study if we want to remember things and concepts. I hope you guys understand.

    1. Yeah that's true. Hell no use of doing this after such a difficult technical engineering course.

    Replies
    1. If you have interest in Machine design then there is no need to do MBA. Just focus on your interest. There is only one tip for success in this field. That's "Hard work". If you work hard and gain more knowledge and skills in design field, then you will succeed. But if you are just saying this and learning no skills and software then you are going to get nothing.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Doing MBA in finance after mechanical engineering requires a little more handwork. Your college/university might ask you to register some basic courses in Finance and Economic (Undergrad Level) during first semester of MBA. As far as job prospects are concerned, it makes no difference at all :) An engineer who is expert in finance is an asset for manufacturing companies :)

    1. Yes if you want a better career in management then you must do MBA to gain more skills. Usually duration for MBA is 2 years. But some colleges are also offering 1 year MBA programs.

      There is another program called Executive MBA or EMBA. Introduced to facilitate working managers. If you have 5 years of job experience then you can apply for this program. Most of the classes in EMBA are scheduled during weekends.

  15. Dear Ayesha Ma'am, reading this article has helped me make up my mind to pursue MBA and thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. But then again a few questions arose in my mind and thought if you could help. I have Graduated in Instrumentation & Control Engineering in 2011 and have been working in an Automation company in Mumbai since last 2 years. Now, firstly, they say it is not worth doing MBA if ur not in the top 10 college of the city and I have friends not getting job even after doing MBA in a descent colleges. Secondly, I go into a great jeopardy, when it comes to choosing a program in MBA, like whether i should go for marketing, finance or Project management program. Considering of having a long term goal becoming an entreprenuer, what according to you will be best suited for me???

    1. Hello Monil Tanna, I am glad to see your comment here. Yes you are right about doing MBA from an institute with good rankings in business studies. You see investing in educational institutes is a safe heaven for investors and business men these days. There are so many colleges offering degree in MBA (even Engineering) but not all of them are providing quality education which is required for future business leaders. I hope getting admission into one of the best colleges will not be a problem for you with 2 years of work experience in automation industry.

      Secondly, as you said some of your friends were not able to get jobs even after MBA. You see job market is very competitive these days. So this is happening everywhere. Only those graduates succeed in getting a job who have better portfolio with some professional certifications.

      If you are interested in entrepreneurship and start-ups then why don't you choose a program which is more focused on entrepreneurship? In this course, they will teach you everything from Finance to marketing to project management.

      Delete
    2. Hi Ma'am, do entrepreneurship programs offer job placements after the term period??

  17. After completing any degree course, you can do MBA. its a trend just After further study if you want to go for any core field then M.Tech is better compared to M.B.A. M.Tech and MBA both are specialized degrees M.Tech is suitable for a product-based industry where technical skills are required MBA is a management course that will enhance your managerial, communication and presentation skills.After all Choice is entirely up to you and it all depends upon your interest , Regards Nisha Bakshi

  30. I didn't read total article except the last few lines... out of passion kinda thing.
    Yes.. i'm an engineer who worked for MNC as SE. It is in 2012 i came to US to do my MBA. I did it. I did it with utter passion. ( kinda university topper i.e. 4/4 gpa , merit membership into delta-mu -delta- an american management association) and look at me ...where i'm. again into SE. So, don't expect sudden changes in your career. However, don't get discouraged. after 2-3 years of work where my manager wanted a HR-executive, a strategic planner, a project manager , i'll be his first and foremost preference, in fact the only alternative to go.

    I conclude Success factor = Managerial + technical
    only technical will give u 6 digits, but not position .
    only managerial will give u position but not digits.

    finally look at me, a dumb fool donno what i'm talking.
    Hence, i'm called an MBA

There are different fields in company , like RND,QA,PRODUCTION,PROJECT MANAGEMENT, etc. Every person have different mind. their are different types
    1:the engineer who is interested RND,QA,PROJECT MANAGEMENT, etc and in futcher inventions of engineering. He must go for MS and Phd

  62. hello ma'am.
    I'm currently in final year of B.E. in mechanical engineering. I have got job in an MNC IT firm and I wish to work in it for at least 2-3 years. but I wish to complete the post graduation after that. after reading the article, I now think that MBA will be a nice choice.

    I want to ask you what kind of MBA should I choose to do? I'll be doing it in india itself.

    I mean, I don't wish to leave my job. so, what kind of MBAs I might opt such that it'll best suit my needs?

  65. Informative and useful article!
    Yeah it is true that doing Masters i.e MBA increases the job prospects of candidates & gives them lots of opportunities.We all know how how the Indian job market is and that's why we required some professional skills, to get high profile jobs and for the same reason many engineers prefer doing MBA after engineering. Thanks for sharing!

  66. Thanks for elaborating the myth. I'm currently doing an Electrical Engineering(6th) i'm not much interested in technical stuff as my other fellows and i sometimes feel that i'm in a wrong field. I'm more interested in Entrepreneurship, managerial work etc., I really love doing managerial work. Organizing Events in university etc., What do you suggest me to pursue in MBA degree like Finance, Marketing ,HR etc.,?
