Life Post Mba In Uk Top 5 B Schools

[rajeshsbi]

I have started this thread to know more about the life after MBA in UK in terms of placements, acceptability in cos. there, visa related issues etc.

I have been admitted to Cranfield School of Mgmt. which have been there in top 5 UK MBA collages. I have got admission to the IIM-A, PGP-PMP course which is having its first batch being placed now. The average salary is ranging to 20-22 lacs in india with infrastructure, consulting cos., non profit making fin.cos./bodies..

I have been in SBI for 8 yrs in managment role in the field of retail and corp. bkg. At this point of time, I have little idea about the life in UK post MBA though it is widely claimed that 97% of their students get placed in 3 months, etc. Is there anyone from UK or having some knowledge on the issue may advise over the issue?

Regarding my point of view, it may be little off the real track off my field i.e ret n corp. bkg after the PGP-PMP course in IIM-A but the placements and recognition is well in India.
On the other side, UK is promising to be a better place for MBA-Finance for me and thus would be a further boost to my career. But doubt is that whether will there be really some carrer in the mgmt in the field of finance or consultancy for me - an Indian/non-EU person?

Please some body guide me as well post your issues too.

Also, can someone elaborate prospects for IT professionals. A comparision between prospects post UK MBA and reputed one yr programs in India (ISB, IIM-A, IIM-C) will be useful in making a decision.
