1 year MBA options

[soidisant]

Hey...

Am a software professional with 3 yrs of work ex and am currently looking at some 1 year MBA options(preferably)... (Budget not exceeding 15 lakh). Let me know of a few options... Have been able to figure out ISB only. Looking at NUS too...

Need some help here !!

If you want to study abroad, then you will need to get a full ride or atleast a 50% scholarship to be under the 15 lakh budget.

Schools include :

Cornell and Notre Dame offer a 1yr program so do West Viriginia University and University of Cincinnati and Emory .. and um... Babson.

But being under 15 lakhs is always contingent on you getting a full ride

Why ru restricting urself to 15 lakhs... there r many banks in US (citibank is one) which offer loan at very cheap rates without any liability on ur parents if u can show them that u have an admission in a gud mgmt college (basically if u assure them that u will have a job after college)... their modus operandi is they will ask u to take a life/medical insurance with the banks as the beneficiary... in case u die, the insurance co will pay else u can pay the loan in a span of 3 to 15 yrs... (this is an option told to me by a guy from wharton way back in 2001)

I think if u can work on this option u will have more colleges to apply...
regd NUS (also AIM), its a very gud college but chk the placements b4 applying.. i heard companies don't come to individual college... rather they have a meet/job expo in which both colleges n companies take part... so even gud college students are not placed many-a-times... this is wht i have heard so chk out with someone who applied to/are studying in these colleges....

The accelerated one year MBA program offered by Hult International Business School in Cambridge, Massacussetts is very good.

I have a few friends who are Hult alums and they are doing exceedingly well.

Hope this helps.

Just want to refresh this post. Am looking for some 1 year MBA option. I know it is rather late for me to start. For background check, I got GMAT score of 710 few days back. Am particularly interested in ISB. Am now checking the possibility of applying to some foreign bschools offering 1 year MBA.
Questions:

Is there any website that lists 1 year MBAs
How late am I to apply to these colleges?
Is 710 and 7 years of work exp with Reliance and Oracle in managerial cadre good enough to get me in to top 25 b schools?

Abhi,

You can also apply to IIMA's PGPX course for the batch of 2007-08. The first batch has been give admit offers for the 2006-07 term. Its a new one year course by IIMA, just in cse you have not heard of it. Your kind of profile looks good for the course. Most people admitted to first batch have similar profile. There are some stats about the profile of first batch on another thread , "IIMA PGPX results out". check that.

You can apply to INSEAD August intake. Most reputed european schools are 1 year course except LBS which is 15-21 month long. check out Business week site or FT.com and you will know where to apply.

Cheers

Thanks G. I am quite interested in INSEAD but not sure abt my chances there. I donot have good acads. will 710 GMAT+ 7yr managerial level work exp with good companies do the trick?
