An MBA is a degree where the reputation of the school is extremely important. Going to a top school can increase your salary dramatically and will allow you to change fields. But the benefits drop off pretty quickly as you go down the ladder. Top 15 schools do more for you than top 30 schools. Unranked schools don't do much for your earning power.
My advice is to go to the best school that you can get into. Most (but not all) of the top schools bill themselves as "General MBAs" and don't have official fields. However, once there, you can build a concentration in any field that interests you.
Most of the first year is taken up with required courses and the second year is all electives. You don't have to choose IT or Finance until you have sampled some courses.

Depends on what you want to do. If you want to work in IT and develop code, then you probably should NOT get an MBA. However, if you want to get more involved in running/improving the business, then a MBA degree will help. A finance degree will give you skills to model and analyze a business process in order to achieve certain goals such as improved revenues, margins, or profit. A systems degree is more focused on providing tools to the finance people in order to help them analyze the business.
I have a BS and MS in electrical engineering but got a MBA in finance and I'm working as a finance manager at a large tech company. My job is to analyze my business and provide accruate forecasts. I work a lot with our finance systems group and they help me define what I need from our ERP system and data warehouse so I get better reports out of those systems.
Choosing a school will reqire some research. Of course a top 10 school is great but they are very competitive and cost a lot of money. For example, I got my MBA at USC (Southern California, not South Carolina). It's probably ranked high-teens or low-20's depending on who you ask. However, the finance program is probably the best at the school and due to the large network around SoCal, it's probably the best school to attend if you want a local finance job after graduation.

No use of doing MBA
Do MCA master of computer application OR ME in Electronics
You have good prospects in any field as you are basically en engineer, but do not run after money by sacrificing your interests; You can do research in computer also.
