MBA after working in PSU or MNC?


Sender Name: Rahul

Hello sir,im in final year of my engineering i have two job offers one from reputed automotive mnc and other from a navaratna defence psu i would like to do mba after 3years of work my doubt is

1. which one should i join psu or mnc so that experience gained will be helpful and recognized during mba?

2. Is it true that once we work for defence psu we cant go abroad for higher education?

3. Is work experienced at psu is recognized by mnc companies during mba placements?

A: It depends on training methodology and department you will be posted. Your experience in PSU will get similar weightage  as compared to that in MNC. Think about your long term career goal and take appropriate decision. There are several factors including work environment, place of posting, salary offered, notice period and current financial health of the company.

It is true that US had some restriction technology transfer issue and related matters with defense PSUs. But these conditions are not there in most of higher education case.

Remember the quality of experience, leadership qualities, work category  and nature of managerial experience that matters the most during MBA placements.

Think on the line of your interest areas, long term career goals and present offers (nature of work/salary package/place of posting) and take appropriate decision. Wish you all the best!
