From Textile Technology to MBA

When you'll ask, in what stream a 12th pass student wants to do his engineering, he'll say IT, CS or EC. Or no, that is too main stream. So he may say civil, mechanical, chemical or what, may be electrical. But Textile Technology, what? Do they allow it? Does it even exist?

Yes, Textile Technology is one of the most uncommon streams for engineering that exist all around us very commonly. We could not assume our lives without textiles. From apparels to household use, from automobile seat to a surgeons mask, its area of existence is beyond our imagination. Textile Technology is now gaining student’s attention and they are choosing it as their specialization. It consist of knowledge about the journey of fiber to yarn and then fabric, the machines and technology used in the process, chemicals used in the process, mathematics behind textiles, testing of textiles and its future scope. After graduation, a textile engineer if wants to do work in the industry he has so many options to choose from. He can work in manufacturing unit as a supervisor, or in testing department, or in fabric designing, or he can choose to go in garmenting. For further studies, a textile engineer can pursue M. Tech, M. F. Tech, MFM, or MBA.

MBA can be a real money maker for a textile engineer. After having a degree of MBA, a textile engineer would have the knowledge of market, economy, business and resources. It will be much easier for him to work in the market of textiles than others. Being a textile engineer, he has the knowledge of operations process of manufacturing in the industry. Whereas, the MBA degree will give him the knowledge of market forces, do's and don’ts of the business and innovations that will  enhance his business. Hence, he will have both the inside and outside knowledge of the business. It won't be exaggerating if I say that pursuing MBA after completing B. Tech from Textile Technology will be a right way towards success.
