Nanyang application interviews and admits (2008)

Hi guys,

I have been offered admission from NTU. I have also been offered admission in IIML. I am in real dilemma now. Can someone please give me some information on the placement statistics of NTU and any other information which will help me make the decision. Also, what about the prospects of getting placed in India if I do my MBA from NTU? Please someone help me out here.

Thanks,
Abhishek

the funniest part is that i could not find placment stats for Nanyang anywhere... however if it is equivalent to NUS, placement would be in range of S$70k (1S$ = ~INR29)... although you pay only 5% tax there, the rentals are quite high...

coming to job in India - i cant really comment.. however, couple of seniors from NUS would be doing their summers in India... NUS is relatively more known in India than Nanyang for simple reason that around 30% of batch size in NUS are Indians... so thats the reason NUS is known in India and recognised as par wid IIMs... cant say the same thing abt Nanyang... however, if u wish to stay in Singapore, both NUS and Nanyang are equally good....

I would not like to comment on IIM-L v/s Nanyang since they are two very diff schools... you cannot compare apples to oranges... both are decently strong brands in their respective countries...

Hey Jaimin,

I still havent received the letter. Although expecting it by next week as its only been 13 days since i got my admit. They had said 2-3 weeks. Good to know that NUS & Nanyang are at par atleast in singapore if not in india.

Also, can u elaborate on what exactly do u mean by NUS is more established? Would like to know where all NUS scores above nanyang. I think the marketing team of NUS really scores over Nanyang's marketing team.

Regards,
Puneet

i m 99% sure of not taking up... spoke to one of my seniors in Sinagpore... acc to him it does not make big difference if you want to be in singapore... both schools are well regarded... just that NUS is more established...

Hi,

I really dont see any big difference bet NTU and NUS. I think Puneet has already compared the pros and cons of both the schools. It just that NTU costs you some 11K singapore dollar less.

But I will say if you have already accepted NUS, then you may decide to go there. I got the soft copy from NTU on my request. they want 1K by May 14 and tuition fee will be taken in 4 installments (details were not written in the softcopy). The 1st installment will be taken in registration time on July 22.

So see you in Singapore then

Hey Abhishek,

Congrats for getting into IIML and NTU. Placement will defintitely be better in IIML and moreover I can say IIM is IIM.

Comparing NTU and IIML might be difficult. It all depends on whats your aim and where you want to land after few years. IIM really has a big brand value in india and unfortunately NTU doesnt have in India. But NTU gives you an International exposure which might help you in long term. And I think NTU might be a big more expensive than IIML.

I can say if you are planning to build a carrer in India, then better choose IIML.

Hey puneet,

i had e-mailed this contact of mine who works in Singapore... havent been able to speak to him... he just wrote back sayin "NUS seems to be more established" - dint clarify much since he is a very senior guy in my organisation.....

m not too clear either by what he meant but i think it might be the histor of both the instituitions.... in any cases, he also mentioned both are at par! so doesnt matter much....

My 2 cents.
I had a discussion with one of the (Wharton passout) senior in my organization(among top4 financial services org) based in Singapore who commented that both NTU & NUS are among the best in APAC region.They would be helpful in APAC region due to their visibility.
Was however not too sure of the leverage that any other school from India(read IIM) might be able to render in regions outside India.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Ashish

Guyz,

Please let me know the specialization you opted for..
As far as i know everybody who has admit has taken finance/General MBA as the option...
Has anybody opted for startegy??.

This is just to know whether they have released the results for strategy specialization.

Thanks,
Subramanian

Hey hi folks,

Now what I am trying to figure out is whether anyone has got an admit for MBA - TECHNOLOGY ? MBA with TECHNOLOGY as their specialisation?
