Hi,
Always remember, you should pursue a course based on your interest and skills as it will help you to achieve your long term career goals.
After B.E. / B.Tech, you have two options :
1) You may opt for M.Tech if you wish to study the technical aspect of the branch. You need to sit for GATE.
2) You may pursue MBA if you wish to move your career towards management line. You need to appear in CAT, MAT, SNAP etc.
You have another option with you, i.e.,
You may plan to work in private or public sector industries of various types. The work varies by industry and function. After gaining a valuable work experience of a year or two you may finally get a clear picture about your interest area, whether to go with the technical course (M.Tech) or management course (MBA).
