Unlike other postgraduate degrees, where one has to do multiple internships or side jobs, to get the proper experience in the field, MBA offers the students first-hand experience in college itself.

If we look closely, we can see that most undergraduate B.Tech courses don’t provide proper experience to the students.

Entrepreneurs of tomorrow

The flexibility in choosing jobs and career paths

As MBA covers a huge area, and the courses include a wide variety of subjects, the students gain different skills, which become useful in a variety of career choices. For example, if one is not happy with the position they occupy at their company, they can set up their own business or look for other positions in other companies.

High demand for B.Tech graduates with an MBA degree

Technology is evolving every day, thus increasing the need for professionals who can tackle it best. Well, what can be more professional than somebody with expertise in two fields, and who can manage both the tech or machinery and the organization that deals with it.
