Yes, it is worth going for. You can expand your knowledge in this area as well as work at the same time in SAP. and if your perform well your chances of getting hired by SAP are high

The MS (nomenclature now changed to MTech) program in Bangalore offered by SAP Labs India is for fresh graduates. I started my career at SAP through this program and therefore vouch that it is an excellent platform.The program offers fresh graduates the opportunity of working in different teams while perusing your further studies.

From your query, I understand that you are already employed as an ABAP Technical consultant with another company as a full time employee. Participants in the program are not full time employees when they begin the program. During the course of the program, if a candidate performs well in his/her academics, work and fits well into the SAP culture, he/she would be offered a permanent job with SAP.

Hope this helps.
