Hello,
MBA can open wide range of opportunities in information technology. Some of them are as follows:

1. After MBA a person can become business analyst (however even engineers from top engineering colleges can become that).

2. Technology/digital consulting is another field where knowledge of business processes, concepts of financial modelling, business strategy, exposure to information technology can help a person to succeed.

3. Pre-sales, sales and account manager profiles are quite frequently offered by information technology firms in MBA colleges to students with background in information technology.

4. Some companies offer the role of application delivery manager to people with work experience in IT and MBA from top b-schools.

5. Role of project manager and program manager are other profile in IT which a person can get after MBA.

6. Similarly role of product manager are offered by technology firms to MBA students with relevant experience in IT.

7. Some firms also prefer IT work experience people for the role of process consultant (though such work-experience might not be necessary).

8. Analytics is other hot areas where people with IT work experience can make their mark after MBA.

I hope it will work for you.
Cheers !!
