@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
THERE IS NO CONTRADICTION.
IF you go for mba telecommunication,
your initial scope will be in industries like
-telecom
-telecommunication
and associated industries.
BUT IF YOU DO MBA PROJECT MANAGEMENT,
your initial scope could cover
-IT
-construction
-infrstructure
-aerospace
-railways
-engineering
-other industries.
HERE THE SCOPE IS WIDE OPEN, BECAUSE YOU COULD
ABSORBED IN ANY OF THESE INDUSTRIES.
THAT IS HOW THE JOB MARKET LOOKS AT THE JOB APPLICANT.

2- whats qualification I need to reach the above positions also which industries depend required that positions ( contact engineer - tender engineer - procurement - purchase - telecoms project )????????????///
You need a basic engineering degree for these positions.
Once you are absorbed, depending on your aptitude, you will be given
one of these positions under the project manager .
THIS AGAIN GOES WITH THE INDUSTRY.
-civil projects, they prefer civil engineer.
-telecom projects, they prefer electronics/ electrical etc
-IT projects, they prefer IT graduates
-ENGINEERING projects, they prefer mechanical engineer.
etc
