Calpolytech:

It would help if you explain what you are trying to compare between these options. Is it the education, the quality of professors, the student mix, your chances of getting admitted, brandname, the location, the post-MBA placements...or all of the above and possibly more?

The answers to each of these pointws would vary accordingly.

Hi,
I met some education consultants to know about higher studies in UK , they said its very easy getting a seat in UK for an MBA and it would cost somewhere around 10-15 lakhs , couse is for only 12 months , we get work visa for 2 yrs.... we need to write only IELTS exam.



I was wondering what is the difference in goin for MBA in US and UK?? Where in US we need to shell out more than 20to 30 lakhs..

I don't think there is any need t go to education consultants. You can do your own search on the internet or benefit from websites like Pagalguy.
You will be in a better position to choose an appropriate programme.
Beware of educational consultants. They don't necessarily help you to go to the most appropriate school given your circumstances.
2-year visa is available only if you study from some select set of universities/schools, appproved by the immigration or some thing to that effect. Just check on the UK immigration website.
Most schools require GMAT for MBA; if some school is admitting with out GMAT and just based on TOEFL, double check the credentials of that school.
All kinds of shady schools are mushrooming and not all of them may be able to get you the 2 year UK visa- so just be careful!.

Couldn't agree with that response more. Be very careful with over-the-top promises and an easy route to fame and fortune.

I agree with u but if you are an average profile guy then getting seat in top 15 will be a nightmare.. Also fees for top colleges are more than 20-30 lakhs... and wouldn't it be risky taking such a huge loan... please advice..

As for the UK, if you are shelling out twenty to thirty lakhs for the top five programs, it's fine. After all these schools are selective about whom they admit. So, if you are good enough to get into these schools, you are going to be able to pay back your loan post-MBA.
As regards consultants, they are helpful if you have an average profile. Just make sure the school you are going to is AMBA recognised. You should not shell more than 15 lakhs for such schools including the cost of living. Best of luck

2-year visa is given for any degree you do in UK from a recognized/approved college/university and not just for MBA. So look for a course which is useful and of value to you, which may not have a very high fee, but from a well recognized college or University. You don't have to necessarily do MBA to get the 2-year visa. MBA fee is high in general compared to other programmes and doing MBA from a no-name shady college may not really be beneficial to you; it can even be harmful!

You need to get a job post your degree isn't it! If the degree doesn't help you in your career advancement, paying 15 lakhs just for a 2-year UK visa is too expensive in my view.
There are other Masters programmes from good Universities in places like Switzerland and possibly in Scandinavia, where the fee is extremely low. You could do that, instead, if you want to learn and have multi-cultural exposure.
