Thats a good amount of work experience. Your future course of action should depend on your future plans. Its firstly advisable for you to search and dig in more info what an MBA is like, what is it all about, how will it help you at attaining your goals and brighten your career path. you shall find the info on various MBA Classes sites or just google it.. More on you will find that there are various specialisation in MBA and there are some into technical fields, so that could be the area you may be looking at. adding on even IITs are now offering MBA Prog and they take people with engineering background..
About MBA abroad i dont think there is any option except clearing GMAT or Tofel..

In symbiosis, SIBM and SCMHRD would be good to go for.

Hi Rusted!

Career planning is an oxymoron!
So, don't be bothered about not having a very clear picture even after this many years.

Since you have mentioned that you are 'feeing stagnated and have become less productive', something challenging will make you feel better.
You could continue with a technical career path - am sure your company has one. Only 3% opt for a it, compared to a 97% who choose the traditional PL/PM path. That's for the kind of challenge it is. Ask around, you'll find info.
