Hello,

Yes there is no criteria as to who can do MBA in operation. But mostly people with technical background prefer to do mba in this field. What you need to do is study the basics properly related to operation and mechanical and software streams. You may have a lower hand as many other students have experience in these fields but still if you like this field then you can do it. Find better college for this field as colleges providing job opportunities for operations are less.

The beauty of studying MBA is that it does not have limitation in the eligibility perspective. Operations Management has been more effective and prominent than ever before. And it has little to do with Engineering. If you can understand the intrinsic of a project and a business model for the client, no matter what your educational background is, you can study Operations Management as your Specialisation in your MBA. In the long run, this will help you in career progression to become an Operations Manager. As soon as you complete your MBA, as a fresher you will not be appointed as a Manager. You will be hired as an Operations Analyst and have to play the role of a team player. As you put on experience, the specialisation will help you to become a successful Operations Manager.
