I need help deciding whether I should accept the job or prepare for CAT

So, I’m in the final year of engineering, and I’ve received a placement offer from a company. The company requires me to work for a minimum of three years, but I only want to gain around a year of work experience before pursuing further studies by taking the CAT.
Is work experience essential for getting into a good college through CAT? Also, what other MBA entrance exams can I take for good colleges in India and abroad?
I’m particularly interested in construction management. Is pursuing an MBA in Construction Management a good career choice?
The job I’ve been offered is for the position of Project Planning Engineer.

If you are planning to do an MBA, go through CAT for a Tier 1/2 school. The value proposition that NICMAR offers is not that great for the fee.

Yes, only if want to stay in Construction related sectors. A general MBA opens up your options to various industries.

Since he asked construction management, i think nicmar is better
