    I have completed ,my non medical (physics, chemistry, math) and am planning to go for commerce -MBA in future but after doing engineering. So I think Industrial engineering and management will suit best to me as it would also relate my subjects with commercial world somehow! Else you guide which engineering field could relate and open the doors of commerce sector for me as well along with future in science also! I hope u get the point-Kindly do let me know quickly! Regards
