Education and Career Forum

Hello Sir, I have done B.E IT from a normal college and worked as a software engineer for 5 years now. Due to some family reasons, I would like to pursue my career as a professor in some good college (private or govt). I am not in a position to leave my job now, hence I have taken up MSc IT. Since no good college was providing MTECH IT. Please let me know will I be able to achieve my goal. Or should i have opted for some other Masters Degree. Also please let me know what is the starting salary scale for a professor.

Kindly guide
Warm Regards
