About the NUS MBA, I have visited this program and it is definitely lacking in a lot of areas. The NUS MBA is basically an MBA that uses "rote learning" to teach the students. This is the basic methid.

the knock on NUS has always been its disproportionate % of second grade Indian students. Faculty/electives are second grade at best as well. Anyone with a better background will go to Insead and perhaps Hong Kong UST.

Perhaps, but a case could be made for NUS over HKUST if you wanted to work in Singapore - and NUS versus INSEAD might also come down to cost: NUS is a very good value for an FT ranked program.

it would naturally be NUS if you plan to seek employment in Singapore. The same would apply for HKUST. Both universities are prominent in their own disiplines and are known throughout SEA.

NUS is stronger overall

Even though HKUST is ranked higher by both the FT and the Economist?

.... as a university. Havent been to HKUST but NUS business school is cool. HKUST may have stronger staff and students but Singapore is far easier to settle down. English only is enough unlike in HK you have to speak Cantonese.

Banking in Singapore is also strong. But it is bloody small
