When you talk to different people, you receive any number of opinions. It is best to ask people in that particular work field for a knowledgeable and intelligent answer, so you can take an informed decision. Moreover, there is no one ideal job. What is the ideal job for you may not be the right one for someone else. It is best to evaluate what you can do best and then follow the most appropriate study options. The MTech qualification is required for working on design and product development, an intrinsic part of engineering. With the entry of many multi-nationals, India is moving out of the realm of the traditional shop floor and emerging as a specialised engineering and research and development hub, requiring large numbers of highly qualified engineers for design, product development, process design, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD and CAM), value engineering and so on, so as to be able to compete with China. For this reason, there will be an increasing demand for specialists in several of these emerging engineering fields. And depending on the specialised nature of the job, many MNCs sometimes prefer MTechs. While there is a growing number of jobs for BTechs, an MTech degree would qualify you for a higher entry position, more responsibilities and better salary than a Bachelor’s. If you enjoy technical and scientific work and are good at technical creation, modification and development, then an MTech degree is better. Moreover, after a few years in engineering, the job includes more administrative and managerial responsibilities. Then, you can opt for an MBA programme to further your career prospects.
