You are never too old to do a MBA. We do have people older than you in our batch. It should not be a prob. It is not necessary that u hav finance knowledge but it would be good if you understood what you would do in a finance jobs... they look for how much u understand your future role. The more clearer you are, the higher your chances.

Dubai is aspiring to the financial hub of the Mid East region so it is trying to bring in a lot of international players. In about 4-5 years time , finance will rock in dubai atleast looks like it right now... so the scope is there.... but like i always say pls dont restrict urself to dubai.... keep an open mind.

i think it needs discussion from pple in dubai co thy can give a clear picture of cost-savings equation.
the reason of rising demand for mba in india is tht it instantly gives a better career n salary....100 times worth the 2 yrs spent...
abt the loan .. let me tell u ... 8 lakhs is the loan you will get without any collateral or security. You can apply for more, but you would need to provide a collateral - a property or something, jewels, etc. You can get a loan to a max of 15 lakhs and Indian banks do give you extra money if you have a good banking relationship with them. You get loans from the PSU banks mostly.

600 AED is the living expenses is a conservative estimate.... depends on how many phone cards you take .... as skype n all is banned and you cant do voice chat or webcam chats from college. As of today we have no internet at the villas .. broadband i.e. .. you can access dial up but you pay for the cost, 6 AED per hr.... dunno abt singapore .... cnt comment abt it ... but next yr cud b diff as we foresee a shift to Dubai Academic City as all institution in KV are moving to Academic City - it is rumored to have been based on Boston .... lets see ....

Yup skype is banned but Google Talk works in the campus and that suits us fine. I survive in about 400dhms...it is really upto you how you manage your finances. You can live in 350 dhms and you can live in 1500 dhms. Really upto you.

And there will be connectivity in the hostels next year. Now it is another thing that you spend more than 16 hours on campus and when you reach your room all you do is crash into your bed.
