this is for any indian planning mba overseas

my first choice for mba was one of the top schools from canada...
but as i stand today.. i understand if i study in canada or usa,,

i am not going to spend any thing less than 60000$ for only fee's if i study in any decent school in north america.

scholarship is not guaranteed so chances are 1% out of 100 , as you compete with entire class and business school as a whole.so i am not thinking of it.

MBA is 2 years in north america, so my living expense entirely i assume is going to be nothing less than 40000$ for two years.

next thing you do is think about part time jobs, for a fact mba is so intense , it will kill most of your time in assignments..so you will not be able to do work on part time job's every semester.

next question is what is my ROI(return of investment) , i am spending nothing less than $100000, what will be ROI..you are the best person to judge your self..

do you know what does today's market say "West is coming to East" hope you know east is asia...in simple term scarcity of good job opportunities.

Now let me tell you as a indian why i choose UK MBA.

1. No visa problem, i will get visa in max 10 working days, this is not case with USA, i am sure many will agree..

2. Fee's.UK has few top schools, whose total fee is nothing more than 15000 pounds

3. Mba is only for one year in uk..a big + for working executives.

4. Living expense would be max 800pounds for a month..and one only mba..so high expenses only for a year...

5.so if i consider total amount i have spend on my fee + living , travel extra,, i am spending nothing more than 25lakhs + no part jobs.. when i compare same with North america i am spending nothing less than 50 lakhs, as dollar is 50 right now :)

6.Now UK and Europe , if you compare it will be the same.. i would choose uk from europe bcoz when i come back to india studied and worked in UK would sound better than rest of europe

+ Uk is english spoken country..so no language prob, if i compare to spain or france..

+uk gives me full time work permit after MBA , rest of europe comes in EU(european union) if you want to work post ur mba, your employee has to prove that you can work better than someone from there country, makes it hard for work permit..

i thought of australia too,, with current scenario, i dont need to say anything i guess....

hope this helps...

Thanks Man..This really helped. Think you have changed my plans some what. My only question right now is that how much will i end up earning if I go in for a MBA in USA. I mean what would be the average a fresher would earn. I know this is a very stupid question but what i want to ask is the minimum what would a MBA earn in USA and UK. Waiting for your reply

firstly i would not recommend MBA for a fresher, once you work you will understand what you want to do & how MBA can help you, so work for a year or two or more

salary
would depend on your profile
would depend on which company you get in
would depend on from which school you do mba
would depend on your previous salary which you recieved from your ex employee(organization).. so if you earned 10000 rupess from your previous organization.. you can get a hike of anything i guess 10 % to 100 % , it depends on you..


hope this helps

and yes canada & USA have top schools, so keep your options open...

Any idea about post MBA jobs in marketing in
UK?

Post MBA JOB any where in the world , i feel would depend on....

your profile(CV)..your work exp... your work profile..etc etc
also from which school you did MBA
lucky with Openings with MNC

in short being at right place at right time...

hope this helps

cheers

if you are doing MBA from top school's..

or

if you want to do mba from top school...

you dont choose course... its a single MBA.. you can choose sepcialization in your 3rd sem...

course would depend on your personal interest...which field you would like your carrier to head....

hope this helps
