MBA -MTech-MS

MBA vs M-tech/MS 

MBA/M-Tech –
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a master’s degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines.
Master of technology (M-tech) is the specialization in one topic of engineering so that one can go through the technical details. It is purely technical and involves more analysis on a topic.

The reality of Highest paying Job after MBA-
The highest paying job (after an MBA) might be in Investment Banking/Project Management etc. In those you work 20hrs a day, 7days a week and 365 a year and get paid crazy amounts of money.So its money that drives you, remember to be in the top 5 in IIM-A,B,C.
and also be prepared for the above. Only few guys from all gets these package not all. An average salary of MBA is around 5-6 in all 1st rate and 2nd rate MBA schools.
 The myth of M-Tech
There is some myth like
M-tech is for faculty- Not true big companies for R&D requires M-tech and PHD people and gives high packages.
After M-tech cannot go for Management – it is not true at all. People with M-tech degree also reaches to the high posts. After all good technical attitude will always help in the career growth.
B-tech & M-techs are same – It is a bit true for the kind of jobs we are having in India. These jobs are mostly service based or application development. These do not require a technical aptitude but as India grow we all need people with right technical attitude which develops in the Master programs.
 Know Yourself –
Realize that the only thing that matters in life is to achieve something that you actually desire. So try and be honest with yourself. Ask yourself whether you enjoyed solving technical challenges. Ask yourself whether your dreams and hopes about engineering had anything to do with science or they were just for a good job.

Now ask yourself whether the MBA is what you really want. Do you like to make people work? Do you like to organize things? Do you always want to see yourself in front seat to make plans and do as you could have think of? Next, review your own personality and inclinations. Do you prefer being the workman as long as you have the freedom to choose your tools and your work, or do you love playing supervisor?

First decide what you want to do in your life. MBA/MS/M.Tech might be just the means to get there in shorter time. Rate yourself for the degree you are looking for, and see if you fit in any. Self-analysis is the only tool which can help you to take decision for MBA/M-tech.
Conclusion-
The rat race for money will never-ever end, even when you got enough money to survive next 7 generations. The only things that will make you feel satisfied and happy are your
family, and the sense of achievement that your work gives you. So look inside you, feel your passion and go for that.
M.Tech and M.S
m.tech is post graduate degree that that means master of technology.it can be done after b.tech.for this you to clear gate exam conducted by iit. it is a technical program.it is of two years.

MS is same as m.tech but there is a slight difference.ms can be done in abroad.for that u have to clear GRE paper which contains only english and maths of 800 marks each.in ms there are various programs and some of it contains subject of management also.ms means master of science.it is not a oure science course 
Difference between M.Tech and M.S in India
With the growing opportunities in the sectors of M.Tech and M.S, the demands of both the courses have grown rapidly. With the growing number of aspirants for the master’s level courses, the confusion about the differences between M.Tech and M.S courses have also taken hype. There are many colleges that offer M.Tech and M.S course and there are many candidates pursuing the courses. Still a huge majority of people are confused about the differences between the two courses.
The basic difference between the two courses is the study orientation and pattern. The M.Tech course is a more detailed course with a lot of study in it. Under the M.Tech degree, one has to attend regular classes in order to gain knowledge about the subject. The subject under M.Tech is studied in detail in classes. This is probably because a lot of things in theoretical aspect are to be studied for which classroom course is essential.  The project under this course is completed simultaneously along with the classes.
On the other hand the M.S course requires least attendance of the classes. The course basically deals with the practical knowledge and self study about the subject and the project. The students interact with the professors and attend those classes which are essential. They devote more time to their project under the degree of M.S.
Another important difference between the two courses is the course duration.  M.Tech degree generally ends in a time span of 2 years. The projects and the study both have to be completed in that span of time, whereas the scenario is different in case of M.S. In the M.S degree courses, one can stretch up the course to 3 to 4 years till one doesn’t complete his or her project. Thus the course doesn’t finish till the students finishes his or her project along with complete knowledge in that subject.
Thus, one can say that the main difference between M.Tech and MS lies in the orientation of the course and approach.
                                                                                           
What’s preferable for Btech students?
A question that had much confused me to the core in the beginning was about which is preferable to BTech students,MBA or MTech or ahem,MS(as most prefer).I know that almost all the students doing or has completed Btech has thought of this question atleast once during their lifetime..still as i dont expect to get placed after completing my Btech  due to ahem u know,this question was of utmost importance to me.Also this global recession thing has ensured one thing..that the Btech students who are passing out these 2-3 years dont get a permanent job..it will take quite a lot of skill and a lot of luck to hang on to ur job..anyway my top priority now is to pass all papers in BTech and think of other options later…but as i see many who are confused what to do after their engg.,i thought this is a subject of utmost importance and someone has to start a discussion so i thought i would..this is just an attempt for that..do post ur opinions on the topic as comments
i found a lot of opinions..well narrowing it all down it comes to our  personal opinion but in this age we have to take advice of the people who have experienced this.Many people at this point ask a question:”If you are going to do an MBA after Btech why did you do Btech in the first place…why did u work so hard for these 4 years to get your BTech if you are trying to go from the technological field.!!”(worked hard :O ??)..anyway this question is typically another example of people being ignorant..well yes its the students personal decision which matters anyway..theres a saying “survival of the fittest” it becomes relevant in todays nightmarish conditions..rest u guess.
Earn money and live fast- MBA
Earn respect and live peacefully- MTECH
this is a definition i found in the net.well its the truth..people who do MTech are more into the teaching field..though one can take an MBA even after completing MTech..another post which i found in the net lays out many reasons why MTech has lost its value and why MS is so far better..well i donno..i think MTech at IITs or IISc is certainly better..a person was telling me last day that she wont study in India if she dont get into IISc or an IIT..our IITs are best in the world in undergraduate disciplines only ie in BTech,and not the numero uno in graduate disciplines..and of course as many might know,a degree from IISc,bangalore is better than IITs.still i have heard that each IIT is famous for some streams,and it would be best if you opt for that.i dono details..i never tried for IITs..it snt somthng u can achieve in a day rite..and m too lazy..also if one is interstd in working,then why mtech?i mean as far as i hav heard btech students are called for the same job with mtech ns..wel we can enjoy 2 more yrs college with mtech thats true..anyway comin bak to the subject,:evn though this is the case,people point out that MS is certainly much better..i mean all these students are writing GATE and only the best get into IISc,the dream college and secondly to the IITs..well if MS was better why did these lakhs of students studied hard for GATE and got in….still with the availablity of so much bank loans..students tend to go abroad in flocks..the competition is much lesser abroad and the bankloans and scholarships promote students to go out of the country.and what is AMIE and MIE ..is MIE a substitute for MTech..the only extrathing i see is that we get regular magazines at my home due to that 
now talkin about MBAs.A Btech from an IIT with an MBA from an IIM is the dream combination as widely approved.and it neednt be an BTech from an IIT too…any students passing out from IIMs can get upto 15-20 lakhs per month..well itsnot just about money..also one take an MBA after MTech too..but it is the getting into top Bschools that matter…CAT conducted by the IIMs(Indian Institute  of Management s)is considered as the world’s toughest exam even though the syllabus is just the portions upto standard 10 in school..yes,u heard it rite !!believe your eyes…portion upto 10th only  also in numbers,out of 300,000 students who take this exam,only the top 1 or 2 % students(meaning they have to come into top 3000-6000 and also cleared cutoff in all the 3 sections of the aptitude test namely quant,verbal & DI) are selected to take part in GD s at each IIMs..then the students who passed GD is led to the interview after that…Finally only about 1000-2000 students are selected to the IIMs..IIM admission process renowned as the three layer elimination process is many a person’s nightmare.and i think it made it to some guiness record or somthng as the worlds toughest admission process or rejection ratio somthng..anyway,the reward can be huge…IIMs are rated as the toughest Bschools in the world to get into and ofcourse the students who made it are safe..with a salary package upto Rs 2 crore p.a(u have got to trust ur eyes again,lol),a PGDM (equiv to an MBA) from an IIM is many a person’s dream..
also there are many who write the civil service exams or the IES(Indian engineering services),the IRS etcand other examinations..i know that many,now are preparing for the JTO exam as i write this piece..many opt to work in ece or software after getting a Btech..and many has advised me to work for some years and go take an MBA cos the best Bschools in the world look for work experience..
This confusion is among most of the students as like always i would say that go for you interest. MTech is further studies of what you just did. 

If you want to get a better job with high salary and more higher status in the company then MTech is the best.

Go for Mtech. Job you can do after MTech also.

Other different line is MBA or civil services which you can opt for but go for them only if you are interested otherwise its useless

So think on your options and make a smart choice. I would say go for MTech and then do the job..
