  • A. Aren’t you handling too many things at the same time? You must choose between history or engineering. And since engineering is a very practical subject ,even the correspondence course would demand a lot of your time. I suggest that you try jfor admission to one of the regular engineering colleges again next year. That gives you a better chance of getting a job.

Traditionally, electronics and mechanical engineering have been the most popular .And there is maximum scope for jobs in these areas.

  • As far as jobs are concerned engineers are mainly employed in the government sector, in public sector organizations in private companies as commissioned officers in the defense service, in research organizations and laboratories as technical experts on engineering projects in banks and financial corporations. An engineer can also set up his own small unit/company or constancy.

    MAT is Management Aptitude Test conducted by All India Management Association (AIMA) and CAT is Common Admission Test conducted by IIMs. CAT is for admission to IIMs and the other leading business schools such as MDI, Gurgaon. MAT screens candidates for other national level business schools. Technically you would need a minimum of 50% to get admission in any of the leading business schools. Also there are no separate books to prepare English for MBA entrance. The regular material has sectioned on it too.

    If you have done a three-year Bcom (P) and if your final aggregate percentage is 50+,then with a good amount of preparation you should be able to do MBA from any of the leading business schools in the country. This is the right time to keep looking at the daily newspapers for announcements for admissions. Yes XLRI does conduct a part-time MBA but it is of three years duration and meant for only the working executives with sufficient experience to see them through the programme. The XLRI admissions test is, usually the first Sunday of the year.
