First of all you need to realize your core strengths. Having said that you are a mechanical engineer with work experience you have an idea how the industry works, you just need to think and analyze on your interest and key skills which will be handy for you to climb the corporate ladder. If you have an interest in HR than go for it, but doing HR from mediocre B school is just a waste of time instead aim high and go for one of the best institutes like Tata Institute of Social Sciences. If you are good in analytics and have convincing capabilities then go for marketing. If you are a guy who can easily play with numbers than go for Finance or else operation will be a good option after Mechanical engineering. As I earlier said first, work on your strengths and weaknesses and then take a decision this will surely help you to achieve great heights.
