Hello


Doing an MBA is extremely advantageous for ones personal and professional development and I can assure you that you have taken the very right decision in your career. So please be confident that you are going on the right path in your career. Many students dont feel confident about MBA because they are unsure if they are deciding something right for life, afraid of life after MBA, afraid of managing finances to study an MBA, and afraid of getting jobs after an MBA. All these questions tend to revolve so often into the minds of students and therefore thinking about all these factors they get confused so much and lose confidence thinking if MBA is right for them. In fact when I completed my bachelors and had plans to study a masters, I had all these confusions. So when I thought of studying a masters I too well thought of each of these questions and gave answers to myself, and then I gained confidence to study it. Similarly I tell, living life is once so be dare to do anything you like to do/ study.

You are very good in mathematics and this is the greatest strength for an MBA student. If you are confident of your numerical skills then you can rock your MBA. Students who are not confident of maths often choose non-mathematical subjects in MBA where as you can choose mathematical core in your MBA syllabus. As you have already studied a BE mechanical degree, you are suitable for three subjects in your MBA.

1. Operations management - Operations management is a core mathematical business oriented subject and studying this you can be working as operations manager at any industry or manufacturing company. Operations manager are highly prestigious role and are very demanding these days. These managers draw a starting salary of a minimum of 5.5lakh per annum. They understand the basic operations and calculate and work accordingly.

2. Marketing management - it again involves mathematical skills and goes well with engineering and mechanical background. Completing you can work for any company as a marketing manager and in fact choose to work for manufacturing and mechanical companies itself.

3. Supply chain management - This is teh third best option for mechanical graduates as you will learn more about the transportation systems and functions in moving products from one place to another.

All these modules are widely available for an MBA students and you can choose any of the three. Hope this helps. Good luck.
