IET Lucknow is not a good option to pursue M.Tech. You will not be offered any good opportunities at this institute. However, if this is your only available choice, then you can go for it.

Although you will get a lot of time to learn new things on your own and gain the technical knowledge required for the industry. Placements are also not good and you have to apply off-campus.

Which must one choose: M.Tech. from IIT Bombay or MBA from IIM Bangalore?
An MTech from IIT Bombay and an MBA from IIM Bangalore are two very different options. While one focuses on technological aspects the other focuses on managerial aspects. So before even dwelling on the worth of the courses individually you should self-analyze your inclinations and choose one path you are sure about.
Jot down your short and long-term goals. What exactly are you willing to do in your life apart from earning money? Are you more inclined to the corporate world or are the technical elements that attract you more? Having clarity of goals and understanding of what you want from your life is the primary determining factor for choosing your college as well as course.
Objectively, both courses offer a plethora of job prospects and you will gain a lot by choosing any of the two. But making a wise decision here is most important. Choosing an MBA just because it has good career prospects despite having an interest in technology is deluding yourself. You cannot attain success unless you are sincerely passionate about the field you are pursuing.
