OK, it is official now. SPJ Singapore is opening up next year. The good part is people getting selected for SPJain will spend one semester in Dubai and one semester in Singapore. For ex. Fin and IT guys will do their first sem in Dubai and then move to Singapore for second sem (specialization) and do their final project there while the Marketing and Services Management people will do their first sem in Singapore and move to Dubai for specialization. So you get the best of both the cities and a huge international exposure. More details as they pour in.

Guys,

Here is the website link which tells more about his The Global MBA Program

http://www.spjaindubai.org/spjcm_programs.html

A unique model. Is this followed by any other top B-school ? Ofcourse there have always been student exchange programs, but this is different. This is like living in two cities for an entire six moths period..... What about placement?
