Look out for predictable questions like - "why NTU", "Why now", "Future plans", "fav. subjects in business" etc. and you should be fine.

All the best.

Has anyone received the interview call?

Still no interview calls from Nanyang! Even after receiving the interview call and then till the final result, it will take atleast a month for the entire process to complete. So the results not gonna come before mid-April. By that time most other schools would have given a decision. So I am not sure I want to join Nanyang if the results are gonna come so late as that would mean mostly those who haven't received any admits and so are at the bottom of the applications pile join Nanyang. Not sure if I wanna join a b-school with them.

hi i guess it will take time.

what about AIM any news.

i saw ranking some were nanyang was top 3 in asia , AIM WAS 11th.

i met a HR head of GE his view was that majority of reputed colg dont participate in such RATINGS reason being they are primary tools for attracting students for the new colleges.

whats your view abt this.

Which ranking did you refer to regarding Nanyang and AIM?

As per Nanyang is concerned, it has gained a lot in the FT rankings this year.

NUS missed out beacause it does not have a permanent Dean.

Not sure why AIM does not participate in world rankings. It does however participate in regional Asian rankings.

In my personal opinion, a B-school should go and market itself and participate in the rankings.

Does Nanyang also has a quota set for Indian students?

This year NUS has set a quota of 30 % students from India...Not heard anything of that sorts from Nanyang.

I believe maximum applicants from India are from IT background. So competition is quite tuff for IT applicants.
