UBS Ludhiana

[zuberr]

Hi Chandan and Vijay,

Thanks for replying. I am not an NRI, I'm Mauritian and currently working as a software engineer in a German company. I believe job experience is a requirement for an MBA right? I did my primary and seconday education in Mauritius.

I did a BSC in Information Technology at RMIT University in Australia and graduated with a distinction last year. I have never sat for MAT, CAT or GMAT exams, I have no idea what they are about either. I suppose they do these exams in India only.

From what I have heard is that there are sponsored seats for NRI/foreign students but the fees are usually 4 or 5 times what Indians pay. I don't want a seat like that, I want a seat for MBA only if I am worth it, not because I paid for it.

Any advice?

You Can give GMAT Exam ,Which is international Examination.Yours GMAT Score will be treated on par with any other Examination score.Work Experience will definitely works for yours advantage.
One thing ,yes you have to pay more ,But in case of UBS Ludhiana ,the difference is not that much .We pay 3.08 lacs INR (ours is a self- financed course) and NRI/foriegn category guy will be paying something like 4 lacs.You can simultaneuosly apply for both UBS Chandigarh,(our parent Institute) and UBS Ludhiana.And there is nothing like paid seats for NRI/foriegn category ,You are worth it ,then only you will get it.Even Indians pay higher when they go for foriegn B-schools ,than thier local counterparts .So you have to bear with it.Still, see by any standard This MBA program will cost much less in comparison to many other B-school programs. I am sending the link of last year prospectus ,hopefully it wil be of some help to you.

Online form and brochure is not available as yet, page under construction, maybe in a few days.

What's the latest update on your placements at Ludhiana? There was a controversy regarding common placements with Chd. deptt.., which the authorities were not allowing, & you folks held a dharna outside the VC's office.

we never held dhrna outside ,we just went to VC and asked for it ,as it was promised by the authorities at the time of admission.
Nevermind we will work out our placement in decent way.Thats all I can say right now.
