i m be 3rd year student in cse branch and which is better for me mba or mtech?

Both the course of MBA and M.Tech are equally good. As a student of computer science and engineering you have both the options before you. Bear in mind that its very important that from which institution you are going to pursue the course. There are many jobs in which M.Tech will get preference and similarly in many jobs it will be MBA who will get the preference. I would suggest you that appear for the entrance test and then decide which course to pursue. Bear in mind that any course is just a stepping stone for any job. The main thing is the skill and knowledge you garner through the course. So which ever course you do between the do you will certainly have a good career ahead.

You can do both...but after B.tech , I will advise you to do M.Tech.

Both MBA and M.tech are 2 years post graduation course.

But MBA is a management course and M.Tech is a technical course...
Since you are from b.tech, so it will be helpful for you to do M.tech.

But if you are interested in management like business,corporation etc, then you can choose MBA.

The job perspectives are same in both the courses...so you can choose anyone among the two depending upon your interest....

If you are from a good college where the placement is good, then you can get jobs immediately after your B.tech....

Otherwise you can do Masters (like M.tech or MBA) to get a high profile job in big companies.

To do M.Tech, you have to give entrance exams like GATE, and for MBA, you have to give exams like CAT, MAT, XAT, JMET, SNAP, ATMA etc...

Best wishes....
