Hi,

Good question! The academic combination like Engineering and Management has benefitted many and is time tested. The engineering students in recent years have been preferring combining their technical knowledge with managerial skills to increase their value in a present day’s highly competitive market system and to try their luck for being an entrepreneur.

Dear aspirant, you are confused about what will be the right course for you in management field. I would like to know from you that when have you completed your Bachelor of Engineering? Are you a working professional? If you just have completed your BE Degree then it is a good course of action preferring regular MBA from a reputed institution because the EMBA requires you to have five plus years experience generally. You can get admission for MBA in reputed institutions like IIM on the basis of CAT score (Common Management Test) held for the aforesaid purpose. Doing a traditional MBA must be a prime choice for anyone who wants to continue education just after passing the bachelor’s degree. The Executive MBA is a different concept and is designed for the special specific purpose. Let’s see the difference between MBA and Executive MBA.
