@vivekrvcse
'Things have changed', is a very open ended statement ? be more precise so tht the forum gains frm this discussion
IMO and as per my research, things have changed for good and things are in much better shape than before.
Yup the post is old but the only post available on NBS. All those who have not read is 'a year bck' wil be benefited. Any new info frm your end wll be greatly appreciated by this forum.

Thanks,
Puneet

@subramanian

Congrats and good luck with Michigan... I am surprised tht NBS also gives Waitlisted decision as they started their process for Indians quite late.

Hey All,

I received an admit from Nanyang a couple of days back. I have an admit from NUS as well and am looking for more info about Nanyang. As of now I am leaning 99% towards NUS. Will keep you all updated.

Thanks,
Abhishek.

Hey Puneet ,
Chill man .. seems u took offense to my comment
"Read it a year back " was only to indicate that it has been there for some time and of what I know there are a lot of initiatives taken by the CS guys to improve placements.
I believe the post suggests that technology placements have been very poor (only 3 tech / it companies listed - WIPRO HCL and one more)
During their era it was essentially students who would take the initiative but now the college really helps out
I met this Indian prof @ the NTU desk(world mba tour blore) and he said placements for tech are catching up (SIngapore as a country is making some efforts in this direction)
Singapore projects population will expand to 6.5 million in 40-50 years: cabinet minister - International Herald Tribune
Singapore draws $3b of manufacturing investments

So I did some research and thought about where I stand -- decided to apply for TECH MBA
If I recall correctly , you have an admit..
So I guess you are going for it..
The scene however does not seem amazing for consultancy, I cannot recollect where I read about that. But as it turns out NTU average class seems a bit on the younger side (atleast Indians) to go in for fin consul / IB etc


anyway ..cheers mate <--like this guy ?

I was not offended... I was precisely talking abt this kind of data that you have posted in your mail rather than one liner earlier... This kind of info defn helps every1 on the forum.

Cheers,
