Dear Avdhesh,
Th reference forms wuold be required within 15-20 days from the date of submission of your application. If you are working in your own business then maybe a reference from one of your business clients whom you have dealt with would do. we will not accept references from friends, family friends, family members, relatives etc.
ideally the referees should be 1) academic meaning your school or college professor and 2) professional that is from your seniors at work , your boss etc

i received an email with the confirmation and also 2 reference letters.

how soon am i supposed to submit the reference letters? would they be required to be eligible for the cut-off?

also, i am working in my family business with my father and uncle. in this situation, whose reference letter can i submit? can i ask relatives for a reference, or my friends, or my fathers friends? please solve this problem of mine so i can submit the reference letters immediately. also i do not have any teachers to give a reference from because i have graduated in 2003, and i studied for my gmat exam on my own.

thanks and regards

HI,
while we do prefer students who have work experience we are willing to consider outstanding freshers. Whether you want to study for a year and get back to working quicker or whether you are willing to keep a gap of 2 years before you get back to your professional life is a decision only you can take.

Regarding ref letters pls read my previous replies.
thanks

I then opened my own retail boutique. Thus being a sole proprietor for about 2 years and 7 months after working in other retail outlets.

I would like to know if these years would count as relevant work experience in my application form. Im looking forward to your reply soon.

Thank you.

1: Go for accredition. This will really help the students to understand the amount efforts that you are currently putting to increase the brand value if SPJ. AMBA or Equis, whichever is appropriate.

2: Since you have set up a good infrastructure in singapore, make it a one yr course. Let the courses at singapore and dubai be of 1 yrs duration, complete at the same location. but the streams be different. In this way, the current infra at both places wont go waste, but from students point of view, it will give them more stability. One yr is a small duration, which flies pretty fast. staying at place helps a person build up mental strength.

[rutty_bharucha]
