My son has done his Btech in electronics and instrumentation from BITS Pilani. He's working in bigbasket as a software developer. He is confused about whether he should pursue MBA or not. He doesn't want to study abroad. Please guide if doing MBA from a good college in India after getting into software is a good option or not?

Ans: MBA after a career in IT is nothing new, honestly speaking

The thing that you need to confirm with your son is if he is actually interested in doing an MBA or not!

Why does he want to change his current profile? How long has he been working in the current profile? Why did he get in to this profile in the first place?

Sir, My son is not interested in computer related jobs. However, he has deep interest in physics. Based on his choice, he likes two engineering branches (from good/reputed institute (like VIT/Thapar Institute) - Either Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering. So, please suggest regarding the following queries. (1) From package/salary point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? (2) From profession growth point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? Please suggest from short and long term perspective.
Ans: If he wants stable government jobs (PSUs like ISRO, DRDO, BHEL, ONGC, BEL, etc.) → Both ME and ECE are equally good.

If he wants a high-paying career in India (private sector) → ECE is better (VLSI, semiconductor, telecom are booming).

If he wants international opportunities (Germany, US, Japan) → Mechanical is good for automotive/aerospace, but ECE is better for semiconductors.

If he is interested in future technology (Quantum, AI hardware, 6G, IoT, Chip Design) → ECE has a clear edge.

If he enjoys hands-on work (machinery, engines, aerodynamics) → Mechanical suits him better.

For best career growth and salary: ECE (core sector like VLSI, 5G, semiconductor, telecommunications, embedded systems).

For passion in classical physics and machines: ME (with specialization in Robotics, Aerospace, or Renewable Energy).
