dear friend,

are you want to continue your previous Education or want to go for any other course tell me about that at first after that i can help you in Exactly.
so
best of luck.

This is not something anyone here can answer without knowing more about your career goals and aspirations.

For example, my friend and I both have engineering undergraduate degrees. After finishing up, he went for his MBA while I went for an MS in engineering. His decision was based on the fact that he wanted to be involved in the engineering world, but more on the business side of things. On the flip side, my goal was to stay in engineering and build up a small firm.

An MBA can be great or it can be a waste of time. It really depends on where you want to go in your career. You need to think about where you want to be in 5, 10, or 20 years and make your decision based on that. Of course things can change over time, but this is the way to make the best decision at this point.

If you are really unsure of what to do, then I would recommend working for a few years before deciding. You don’t want to jump into one and then realize that you really would have been better off with the other.

1. If you wish to enhance your knowledge in technical aspects of construction, go for M.Tech.

Prepare well for GATE, get into IIT's or NIT's.

You have several options like

a. M.Tech - Structural Engineering,

b. M.Tech - Geo-technical Engineering

c. M.Tech - Water Resource Engineering

2. If you wish to enhance your knowledge in managerial aspects of construction, go for Project/Construction Management courses.
