Faculty of Management Studies organized an interaction with FET students (Civil, Mechanical, Aeronautical & Automobile) on April 25. Pursuing an MBA after engineering has become a trend among engineers in the last decade. But what relevance does an MBA have to the highly technical skills of a professional engineer and is there a need for engineers to pursue an MBA?

FMS team guided students through these queries and cleared their doubts and myths about “MBA after Engineering as a career option.”

The session was addressed by Dr. Sanjay Srivastava, MD, MREI; Dr. M K Soni, PVC, MRIIRS; Dr. Krishna Kant, ED & Dean, FET; Dr. Suresh Bedi, Dean FMS & FCBS.

Dr. Sanjay Srivastava talked about how Industries are shaping up all across the world and how important it is to add a management qualification in addition to the technical one. Dr. Soni stated that engineers have the much required technical edge to succeed in Management. Dr. Suresh Bedi assured that the skills required to succeed in the corporate world are incorporated in the MBA program at FMS.

Prof. (Dr.) Gaurav Sood presented “MBA after Engineering as a career option” and motivated the students to make a conscious career choice.
