Hello

Computer Engineer
Thank you for choosing Mera career guide and writing to us. And thanks again for giving us a detailed information. And by the way what was your result with the psychometric assessment? I am sure it would have thrown in some light on your confusion now. You past academics are really very good and you have also constructed a good work experience in months. The only issue here is, an ideal work experience for an MBA is treated as a minimum of 24 months that is 2 years, where in you have only around 19 months. I understand you were affected by the work culture at TCS. For your info, I was a TCS employee for almost a year before I left abroad for my Masters. Perhaps you could have asked for change in projects if you were seriously affected by the shift timings? I am also aware that TCS contributes to employee education and had you been working for them now, you could have chosen to study a part time MBA degree and the company could have offered you upto a lakh for the education expenses. As they are offering you financial support for your education, this also determines your job being guarantee post MBA. However, all this is not going to be applicable as you have already quit work now.

So do you want to do an MBA? Well yes, please go ahead with this thought. You have a minimum of 1.5 years experience it will look good on your new resume with the MBA. I can also advice you to do a Masters in Computer science degree but it is upto you to stick to technology or management after all this. If you love learning technologies, then an MTech Computer science is more apt for you. However if you want to club management and computer science, then consider doing an MBA in Information management or systems management. Such specialised MBA degrees will offer you excellent scope back in the IT sector again upon your return.

I would have strongly recommended you for a Computer science degree but I should also consider and respect your decision for quitting work only because to do well in MBA Preparatory exam. So I highly encourage you to pursue MBA degree itself. How are you going about preparing the competitive exam these days? My sincere advice is not to do self preparation. Instead join a coaching centre that prepares students for MBA competitive exams. To me, TIME Coaching class is definitely the best as most of the surveys conclude that about more than 55-60% of students at IIT and IIM are from TIME coaching centre. As you are free of work commitments, attend the coaching class and do well at your preparations. Also make sure you practice many sample or past papers. Remember, practice makes perfect. I am sure you would do well. You have ample time to prepare and if you seriously put in good effort, I am sure you will be placed at good BSchools in India. Good luck.
