If you are really desperate for job and there is no other option in hand, then something is better than nothing. Considering the fact that you are fresher and somebody has offered in the area of SAP, not a bad option.

2.Will i get good jobs in MNC companies after getting experienced if so what could be the salary package for 1.5yrs+ exp

Salary is the most subjective, nobody can predict your salary after 1.5 years. It is just you who can estimate yourself. Study the market rates for salaries in India. You should around in that range only. Do not expect 400 or 500 percent hike

3.Heard the SAP R3 product is more big that B1 can i be able to switch over to SAP R3 with exp in SAP B1 since the core of erp concept is same

Every switching has its own limitations and difficulties, you have to cross all those difficulties, unless you are so lucky.

4.Have exprience in which sectore Funtional ? or techincal(programing) ? or technofunctional ? has very good growth n hike

Slow and study wins the race. No end to learning knowledge. Start with a single direction, entering in too many directions will not help.

All the best.

Advantage of business one is that it is small and in my opinion not meant for huge development. So for example my father with almost no development experience but still organized and curious person was able to learn most of the features of the B1 system in two years. So you can "master" the system in much shorter time than any other SAP product.

On the other hand the size is the worst limitation. There is no way how to advance your career when you`re the business one system master (this is rather naive and simplified explanation, forgive me). On the other hand NetWeaver or R/3 how they used to call the "big SAP" is endless and you will never master even 10% of the system or platform.

Then it is difficult to give advices.

If your B1 job would be functional, rather than technical, then your chances are better to switch to big ERP one day. In case you would go deep into B1 technical side (if there is such thing, it is microsoft, it works out of the box), such experience would be useless for big ERP.
