Hi Kartik, Otago MBA - University of Otago is a one of the highly ranked MBA programs in Australasia.
You can find all the info about the program on their website http://www.otagomba.co.nz/.
Regarding the MBA program, it has a very good mix of international students with healthy student teacher ratio.

Cheers

Hi,

Does anyone has any idea about AIS St. Helens in NZ?
I am planning to apply to this university and it would be really helpful if anyone could guide me.

Hi,

I have got an MBA offer from AIS. As far as I know it is not a university setup. It is a college which is offering a wide range of courses including MBA. Even I am in search of information about this institution. The consultancy people are recommending it to be a good instituon but we can't go with that alone. When I spoke to one of my friends in NZ he said that he is not aware of this name first of all. You can apply for AUT and Massey also but Massey offers only 25-26 months course. AUT seems to be a good university.

Thanks a lot natchiram.. Any other info about AUT please let me know

pls do keep me updated of your findings in universities,scholarship and placement.

Hi karthik,

If u want a career based on your MBA this country will not help. All the consultants are concerned about their commission. Ur chance of getting a job after your MBA is bleak. MAny Indian students have returned back without proper jobs. There is false propagation going on in India. If u want to build a career based on ur MBA My advice would be not to come to Newzealand as u dont have one here. U option could be singapore or work for CAT and other Business schools in India. In India oppurtunities are more. Please dont waste 15 lacs in MBA in NZL u will be a scape goat. You may ask who am I to tell about this I am a student doing MBA in AUT.

Hi Manick

The AUT MBA is 180 academic points, this compares to Otago MBA's (also in New Zealand) 300 points which can be completed in the same time-frame.

I can also confirm that Otago does not give any commission to any agents. Students come to do their MBA at Otago because it is an internationally recognised MBA.

"...Ur chance of getting a job after your MBA is bleak. MAny Indian students have returned back without proper jobs."

Uh, lots of MBA students have finished programs in recent years without landing jobs immediately - even in their home countries, and even at top schools.

What's the economy / job market like in NZ anyway?

Hi guys its a question of spending hard earned money in search for a future. We are talking about financially affluent persons who can afford a life style. I answered the question only from this perspective. Back home atleast u dont spend so much and for ur infos top business schools in India have always had 90% placements. And taking the economy definitely Newzealand is a small economy where it cannot support the MBA students that are completing their coarses. Please do your homework properly before replying. Please donot just reply through your head just for the sake.

Hi nathan,

I was talking about the job scenario and not about the standard. Definitely the degrees offered by the universities are well recognised and of no doubt its all of global standards. The agents in India show a green picture hiding the facts where the students make a huge bet by going into loans. I just wanted to tell about the job scenario not about the standard.

Hi,

Please can any one help me whether MBA is really worth doing in AUT how about the part time jobs over there? is it really safe for female student? and also am planning to take my husband along with me on dependent viza to find out a job over there ...how about the jobs in IT.

Hi Nakshatra ,
I have made a study about the colleges in New zealand and the most important thing --Job after MBA. All my research ended me in saying that Newzealand is not a good country for this.My sincere suggestion would be not to waste your time and money in newzealand . Simple to say taking your husband along with you will not be a good move at all. You can try for UK, ALL THE BEST

For the best information about jobs in New Zealand, check out this link to a site by the New Zealand Government for people interested in living in New Zealand. It provides a list of job skill sets needed in New Zealand plus a list of jobs for which there are critical shortages.
