    Default Gmat or gre ?

    Hi guys,I am an engineering student ,next july I'll be graduating with a engineers degree in electronics and communication .My question is
    1)After engineering I want to go for a master's degree ,I'm very much fascinated by the business and management line but I'm good in programming languages ,programming really interests me.So should i go for MS in computer science course?
    2)If i opt for mba (I think as it is a management course where programming is not included)then I'll wont be coding any long and obviously I have to focus on my course subjects then,so will that be a good decision for me ?
    please tell me your views ...

    I very much like programming,my stream is electronics but somehow I've managed to learn java & dot net . I'm preferring Mba because now I'm not having a good time in engineering my average % is 60 ,I'm fed up of my college and course so to avoid this "engineering horror show" I'm opting for MBA,I think a change of stream could be bring me peace atlast..

    There is a difference b/w how we are taught here in India and the approach in US univs.

    That should let you off the hook.

    Leaving it that late and deciding on the marks obtained,I think it will not be a good idea.It's better to have one in hand rather than two in a bush.

    Projects... real world projects. You are made to work on real world projects ( and yes, that can be killing sometimes!). You get more hands-on experience and the syllabus is not decided by some university head but the Professor who is more up-to-date on Industry trends.

    As mentioned by you programming is your forte. So if you select any of the programming courses then it would be most appropriate. But you have also mentioned that you are keenly interested in doing management degree M.B.A. then there are some of the courses which give you opportunity to do programming as well as use your management skill. There are courses in MBA like IT specializations and MBA System. Opt for those.
