Now the big question is what are the job prospects and salaries like after you have completed engineering and MBA. Well, First of all to do MBA from USA one requires two things
1.) At Least 2 yrs of job experience and
2.) GMAT and TOEFL Score

Of Course after that you have to worry about money,loans and other stuff but the above two things are the first things to worry about. Benefit of an MBA is salary increase. On average, an individual with a Masters in Engineering will make $10,000 annually more than one with only a Bachelor's in Engineering. With an MBA, you can earn on average up to $30,000 more than the Bachelor's. Along with the potential salary increase, the MBA will add flexibility and credibility to your personal portfolio.

What's involved in an MBA program?
Basically all MBA programs have a core curriculum consisting of the major business disciplines: finance, management, accounting, marketing, manufacturing, economics and organizational behavior. Beyond this, one can usually specialize in a particular area or take a broad general management route. When considering which program to enter, consider the following criteria

• Academics - reputation, curriculum, teaching/learning methodology
• Career - job placement, career support, networking
• Quality of Life - location, social life
• Expense - tuition, cost of living, financial aid (average MBA program costs $50,000)

If you find the standard two-year full time program too costly or time-consuming, you may want to consider a part-time program, an accelerated program, or if you are already in a management position--an executive program.
