I am a chemical engineering student at one of the National Institutes of Technology. I got a job offer from IOCL during campus placements. Should I go abroad for an MS or MBA after my graduation or join the company? Can I take up higher studies afterwards? - Manish.
The choice between work experience and further studies depends on a number of factors, including your interest and inclination towards either of the two options.
An MS or MTech degree would qualify you for higher positions, more responsibilities and a better salary in the field of engineering. If you enjoy working in an operational area and are good at technical creation, modification and development, then an MS is better.
On the other hand, an MBA programme will enable you to move into the managerial area of planning, organisation and financial control and provide opportunities in practically every organisation. If you have good communication and inter-personal skills, a logical and analytical approach to problem solving, and sound business skills, then you can consider an MBA.
However, as you are getting good campus placement, you can actually get the best of both. The job option would enable you to get hands-on understanding of the work scene, and a better handle on decision-making. Depending on your work experience, you can decide whether it is to be an MS/MTech or an MBA. Moreover, most MBA institutes prefer candidates with some work experience too, and a techno-management qualification is preferred in the global economy.
I am a Class XI student. I have opted for physics, chemistry, biology and Hindi. I want to be in the medical sector as a doctor as a doctor, say a gynaecologist, but sometimes I think that I should be a forensic professional. Please advise. - N Ghai.
The halo around the medical career makes it one of the most sought-after careers, but getting into a medical college is possibly the toughest admission option. Entry into the medical profession is competitive. The selection is rigorous and the course extremely challenging, requiring many long years of dedicated study.
