A majority of engineers willing to shift to management opt for full time Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) programme to hone their managerial skills and for a significant jump in their salary. However, students, who do not want to completely shift from their technical fields, can go for MEM as this programme can help them master all the management acumen while keeping up with the technical aspects of the engineering domain. One point where MEM has an edge over MBA is the qualifying test score required. MEM accepts both GRE and GMAT scores while most MBA programmes consider only GMAT score; this means students can get admission in MEM through any of these tests. So, all the management aspirants from engineering background should decide carefully over ‘MBA or MEM’ before proceeding for the next stage of their educational journey.
