    both Msc and MBA are good graduate degrees. They accomplish different goals and purposes, so it does not make sense to say one is getter than another. It depends on your career goals.

    I know nothing about SAAS.

    The MBA is not required as a route to the PhD. both the MBA and PhD are terminal degrees. the MBA leads to management positions in business, up to CEO. the PhD typically leads to teaching and research positions in universities.

    Your earnings depend on many factors, including the school, field of study, grades, location, state of economy, supply and demand, and much more. However, graduate degrees usually ensure a good salary when jobs are available.

    MBA programs accept students with a bachelor’s degree in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business major because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. The best majors are in the sciences, engineering, or math, but other majors are also suitable. Any field of endeavor can use good management. The reason for avoiding a business undergraduate degree is that it results in too much duplication with the MBA and leaves you with a narrow focus. On the other hand, companies hiring MBA graduates are looking for those who earned the MBA but can also communicate with the scientists or engineers that they have to manage as they advance in their jobs.

    MBA programs prefer students with 2-4 years work experience after the first degree. Some accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. But in those programs you don't get the benefit of learning from other students who have work experience. A lot of valuable learning takes place through class interaction. Also when you graduate your job offers will be about the same as a business undergraduate gets because you have no work experience, and you've been two years out of your undergraduate field so it's hard to get work in that area.

    Consult the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It publishes only official data provided by university administrators, without modifying or editing the data. The Official MBA Guide allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria.

    Well in the employers eyes a phd PhD and MBA are similar, however PhD is more prefered since its 5 years of education shows how motivated u are and how eager you are for a job, u cannot start ur MBA without a Msc, but no worries as a Msc only takes a year, many big businesses do pay for their employees to get a MBA, this is so they meet the skill set and gain further knowledge,experience.

    I do not suppose that IIT tag might be valuable in getting admission in MBA. And let's suppose in this approach, that MSc might offer you technical abilities, but MBA provides you with an area over others in phrases of managerial knowledge. And which you can perpetually go for greater education, there's no such difficult and quick rule. Nothing is absurd pal... It can be perpetually us who pre decide the things !!!!
