If you are getting on a Job with your MTech, the suggestion is not to do any SAP course now. 

In general, if you have build some experience in your area, that will decide which module you should choose. Since you do not know what experience you would build for yourself in the next few years, it can be a role in Purchasing, Sales, Inventory, Warehouse, Shipping, Production or Plant management. So its better to wait and do that as a future course.

Hi Mukul,

I assume you are asking the difference about SAP HANA 1.0 & 2.0.

If that is the case, there are so many enhancements which SAP has developed in new version 2.0.

So many differences like from HANA 2.0 SP03 there is no single container DB everyone has to use Multi container DB, and statistics sever has been integrated to index server. There are much enhancements SAP has made and released the new versions.
