MBA will make a student perfect in managerial as well as communication skill, whereas B.Tech will make a student perfect in technical matters.

Here we can take a look at the benefits of having an MBA degree along with B.Tech:

• Business approach: There is no doubt an engineer with B.Tech degree is skilled in technical matters. But, MBA degree will help them to get more exposure in the field of business. There are certain areas which are lacking in engineering degrees such as strategic and quantitative skills and analytical ability and students of MBA become an expert in these areas. Hence, a professional with the perfect blend of these features will surely make the employer happy.
• Startup of own business: If an engineer after completing B.Tech wants to do something of his or her own, then it is always better to opt for having an MBA degree. MBA degree will help them to understand the exact requirement and fundamental criteria of every business. Having two degrees will help the professional to solve all technical and business related issues.

So, if any student after completion of B.Tech never wants to stand in a queue then he or she can surely go for the MBA degree. B.Tech degree in addition to MBA will surely give a better opportunity for every student to have better jobs.
• Engineers without any interest in a technical field: Sometimes it happens that a student after doing B.Tech becomes reluctant to technical matters and does not find further interest in different technical matters. This reluctance makes difficulty to have better jobs. In such a situation, it will be nice if the student opts for doing an MBA. MBA will make them more advanced in various fields and this will also make it easier for them to achieve their goals.
• Improvement in various skills: A B.Tech can surely be efficient in all types of technical matters. But, most of the time it has been noticed that due to lack of proper communication as well managerial skills, the professionals with B.Tech degree do not get placement as per their expectation. Well, after doing MBA, one can become well skilled in managerial and communication and they can get the best-paid job in the industry.

From the above discussion, it is quite clear to us that doing an MBA degree after B.Tech is always fruitful one, but there are certain limitations too which also need to be considered.

• Most of the time the concepts learned in Management degrees always remains in theories only and hence we cannot notice the appropriate application of these theories in the practical field.
• Again, most of the cases it has been observed that students cannot select the right job after doing B.Tech and MBA both. The jobs they select never match with their educational background and most of the time they become frustrated.
• There is a huge competition between the students to get the B.Tech and MBA degree. The demands for these degrees are more than that of other degrees. Students having these degrees only from reputed universities and colleges, mostly get the highest paid jobs. Hence, it is always required to get the degree of B.Tech and MBA from reputed institutions.
• Both the degrees are time-consuming. If any student wants to complete full-time courses in MBA and B.Tech then he or she needs to spend almost 6 years in the colleges.
• Though students with both MBA and B.Tech degree can get the best-paid job but in the long run, their skills and capabilities only help them stick to their jobs.

Hence, there are lots of advantages of doing MBA after B.Tech but some cons are also there. So, every student should think in prior to going for both the degrees.
