Ans: It is significant that engineers widen their knowledge and skills in the management area if they wish to become senior managers in an organization.

Q.6 Why MBA in HR after Engineering?
Ans: An MBA in Human Resource Management is one of the most opted MBA specializations by graduates nowadays. Many engineers take up this specialization as it has a huge scope in the industry. It is a challenging field of management. The first HRM course was started in 1913 in England. HRM is the backbone of any industry and essential to it. Over the years there has been a spike in industries hence HRM has immense scope and employment.

Q. 10 Why is MBA so popular?
Ans: There are various advantages of doing an MBA degree and below are the reasons:
1. Better career opportunities and salary potential –It is quite obvious that having an MBA degree will help you get a better salary as compared to a person who has just done his/her graduation. But an added benefit is that you also get a better job profile or post in a company (it may vary according to the college you have done your MBA degree from).Normal graduates (of any line or field) who make the transition to working for a company after completing their studies normally find it difficult to go above a certain level and start to stagnate after a certain point of time. Now in such a situation, with the most common case being of the engineers in India, most people go for an MBA degree as it allows them to climb up the corporate ladder and get a job in senior management roles as it is perceived that people with better qualifications will have better knowledge.
Thus having an extra degree like an MBA gives you an advantage as it leads to better job profiles, more chances to display your abilities and in front of a more refined audience and a bigger pay packet.
2. Enhances overall personality –With so many things to do in an MBA college such as case studies, presentations, live projects and cultural festivals, one automatically becomes more outgoing and confident as you interact with more people on a regular basis. Your thought process and verbal skills also become more refined with almost all of your conversations happening in English and this prepares you for your life post-college in the corporate world.
3. Preferred specialization –There are many specializations in which you can do your MBA such as finance, marketing, HR, operations, advertising and media, e-commerce, agro-business and so on. Now this part comes in handy when one wants to change their line of work and doing an MBA in their preferred specialization can help you achieve that.
4. Start your own venture – If you have done your MBA degree from one of the top colleges, it will be easier for you to secure funding for your startup in case you ever need it. Again here the perception part plays a big role as it is assumed that people with better qualifications will have better knowledge and people automatically trust you more. Most of the times, it will be one of the students who have passed out from your college a few years ago who will help you out in your startup as they will definitely have a soft corner for you given that you belong to the same college.
5. Worldwide recognition -An MBA degree from a college in India is recognized worldwide. The styles of teaching and syllabus might differ but the value of the degree remains the same.
Passed minimum Three-year Duration Bachelor’s Degree awarded by any of the Universities recognised by University Grants Commission or Association of Indian Universities in any discipline with at least 50% marks in aggregate or equivalent (at least 45% in case of candidates of backward class categories, Economically Weaker Section and Persons with Disability belonging to MaharashtraState only) or its equivalent; OR Appeared for the final year examination of any Bachelor’s degree to be awarded by any of the Universities recognised by University Grants Commission or Association of Indian Universities in any discipline.
