I am from Hyderabad.
My qualifications/grades: 10th - 94%, 12th - 96%, stream - PCM.
I am very confused between choosing BTech or BBA for my undergrad.
My biggest doubt is whether BTech from colleges in Hyderabad is worth it, because most of them are tier-3 and I've heard the syllabus is outdated.
My other option is to do a BBA (probably in finance) from Mahindra University, prepare for entrance exams and then pursue an MBA.
If I go for engineering, I would probably want to work for a year before doing an MBA, but an MBA is most likely the end goal.
I am very, very confused right now.
If I don't end up doing an MBA, is BBA even worth it or should I stick to engineering? Which one is more worth it? Would love to hear your views.

It depends on your interests and how willing you are to do a PG.

Sarika

You could choose a BTech in mechanical or electronics, for example.

If your ultimate goal is an MBA, go with BBA. BTech is crowded, the market isn't as stable anymore, and you may have to work very hard sometimes.

Aftab

In my opinion, Engineering remains the best career choice.

Shruti

Go for Engineering, work for a few years to gain experience, and then pursue an MBA.
