Hello,

As a mechanical engineer, the logical options among SAP applications would be:

1. SAP PP (Production Planning)

2. SAP PM (Plant Maintenance)

3. SAP MM (Materials Management)

As a fresher, you will have lesser options in employment in manufacturing companies as compared to IT, because the manufacturing companies tend to hire people with experience. As you grow in your career as a SAP consultant and gain experience you will have better opportunities to join the core sector.

As for training institutes, there is no guarantee of a 100% placement, both for authorized and non-authorized institutes. SAP authorized training institutes offer placement assistance, where after the successful completion of certification, they send your resume to companies looking for certified freshers and also hold recruitment drives.

Its all about your own desire & choice to take forward with SAP MM or not, but never choose any career related decision by the influence from others or in dilemma. It’s your career , you have to shape it in such a way you want, because no one is perfect to build your desired execution as you expected.
