2. yes, but is not comaparable to NUS which is far better
3. check website placements stats

hi
Just wanted to ask if everyone who applies there gets an interview invite or they do some initial screening and then call people for interview and also if THEY call from singapore or we need to call them at Singapore for this interview.

AFAIK they do some screening and then make calls becoz not all whom i know have applied got calls. We don not need to call them they will call us.

YUP. THAT is the number (Interview scheduling not the actual interview)
Call/Mail them asap. They will send you a mail anyways.
And all the best.

Hey thanks swapnil for confirming this fact.
i have been trying to call that number back and also tried the NUS b-school number from the website. i have nt been able to get thru any of the numbers.
I wrote in a mail and left a message on the voice mail sysytem.
is there anything else i can do to contact them ASAP. having missed the call i am worried whether they will bother to call again or not.

Hi ppl i got a missed call from a singapore number +65-6516-4444 is this the number from where u got calls for scheduling i/v or for the i/v itself. can those who got calls reply. Just want to make out if this was reg some admission process.

TIA

NUS expects min of 2 yrs full-time work ex. I belive it wud b very difficult to get into a b-school abroad without work ex.

If u wanna go for higher studies, wat I wud suggest is either you can go for MS now or apply for MBA with a consierable work ex.

hi

dunt they take freshers ?
i have completed my BE (IT) dis year..n wish 2 go for singapore..

thnx in advance..

nirav.

Hi Guys,

Was anyone asked about the scholarship stuff ?
I mean any question like "how do you c scholarship as, how imp it is for your studies" or "what will you do if we (NUS) do not give you any scholarship" or "how will you fund your studies if you do not qualify for the scholarship?".

I was asked about shcolarship at the end of my i/v.
Nyways good luck to all.
-------my profile----------
GMAT - 610, 3.5 years of ERP work ex in a MNC, BE (EEE) from BIT, Mesra...

Hi Guyz,

I also had my i/v on 3rd Jan. All general stuff - why mba, why singapore, how i wud contribute, am i open to wrk anywhere, dream companies etc. It lasted for a v short 13 mins. Is the duration an indication of anything?? Hey where else r u guyz applying??

My profile - GMAT 730, 2.5 yrs wrk ex in IT.

Can anyone also suggest which other schools to apply to if the aim is to come bac and settle down in India???

Cheers,
Pankaj.

Good work Sultan.

Now you, Lavender & self are in the same boat. Lets keep our fingers crossed. If anyone gets the results, please post it.

Sultan, post ur profile plz.

I hope i/v panel wud hav asked a qs in post-MBA section:
Would you like to stay in Sing after MBA or would u like to go back? What was ur answer for this?? Lavender, please join the discussion

Hi All,
I gave my NUS i/v today at 6:30am.
It was a great experience and it was more of a discussion rather than an i/v.
The panel consists of 2 members and they were very amiable. My i/v went for almost 35 minutes.
The questions were general: mba (why mba? why NUS? why Singapore?), professional (discuss your job profile/ what do u do?), compare IIMs with NUS, post NUS, where do you c urslf after XXX no of years, any ques from us?
I don't know how I did, but was satisfied after the i/v. Felt relaxed !! Felt that I answered them in a good way !!
Went outside for a hot cup of tea in this chilly winter morning and now m in office.....
Fingers crossed !!
Hopes alive !!
Best of luck to others !!

Sultan,

Relax, man! The i/v questions were as I had mentioned earlier...Why MBA and why in Singapore? What are your post-MBA plans? Do you want to work in Singapore or India?...beyond this the qns become specific to ur answers or to anything specific u've mentioned on ur application...in my case...it was a bit abt my past work-ex. Absolutely nothing reg. my essays. Run through ur application once...and that should more than suffice! And make sure u've a back-up phone no....my landline conked right at the beginning. :x

My profile.. GMAT - 730 / B.tech - NIT/ 2.5 yrs in FMCG.

Cheers and All the Best,

Lavender/ Falling lEaves,

Man, I am getting jittery !! Can u please post me your i/v questions ??
It would be of great help !!

My interview was also dont today morning. Same set of questions that were asked to Lavender. I/v lasted for 26 mins for me. They said ok and we wud get back to you by Jan end. Let us keep the fingers crossed.

Lavender & Sultan - plz post ur profile.

Sultan - All The Very Best For Ur Interview on 6th.

HI Lavender,

I guess that you had a nice interview.
I mean if nothing has gone wrong, then it has to be right !!
Keep your fingers crossed !!

Can u please elabore on the questions? Your profile please !!
Best Wishes !!

Hey,

I was shortlisted for the NUS telephone interview as well...just finished the i/v this morning. There were 2 interviewers...the academic director and another lady from career services. The questions were pretty much the usual sort...why MBA, why Singapore, career aspirations and stuff. Nothing out of the way. They did ask me though on whether my career aspirations would change depending on the companies which recruit or do not recruit at NUS. :whatthat: The entire interview lasted for around 16mins.

I really couldn't gauge much from their reactions...am just hoping it went well!

All the Best,
Lavender

Hi FallingLeaves,

Good Luck for your interview for NUS. Please let us know how was it and what all questions were asked ? How was the reaction of the admission committee ?

Best of Luck !!

My interview is on 3rd Jan. If any of you have NUS i/v experience or set of NUS i/v questions, please post it in this thread.

Thanks a ton.

Hi,
I have been shortlisted for NUS MBA telephonic interview. Can you please let me know what all sort of questiones were asked in the interview and how do I need to approac the same?

Hi there.
Well i was hoping if you could help me on this one. Currently i have just finished my Engg exams. I have done my Engg in Electronics and Telecomm. I have a job through Campus placement in HSBC Software division. And i intend to do my MBA in Finance for sure. So what all do i need to get into the univ. I mean if i am changing fields so quickly on what do they judge me
Also what is the admission procedure. Is there any test i need to give. Also how much is the fees.
Thanks a lot.
My email is swanand_y_d@hotmail.com

1) U need not post ur post in each and every thread. A single post in the correct thread would suffice
2) No email-id/telphone no allowed on the forum
3) U have not mentioned which univ u are targetting. If indian colleges then u need to give CAT and if foreign schools then u need to give GMAT.
4) I think u plan to go outside (since u posted in GMAT forum) then u need at least 2yrs work ex and a good reason y u want to change ur field to get into a DECENT college

HTH

Hi,

Thanks for ur queries but my application process shud be tittled what not to do if u want to get into a good b-school
I basically applied due to pressure from my GF and her family. NUS has a multitude of deadlines and the last one was 28th Feb I think. They however extended the deadline by a month and that enabled me to apply. I completed the form along with a essays in abt 4-5 hrs. Thats abt it. As I told u I just applied to NUS and Nanyang and for some reason NUS called and Nanyang didn't. Another thing that might have gone in my favor is that when they called me for the interview, they gave me a choice of doing it over the phone or in person and I chose the latter choice (flying to S'pore from Cal is cheaper than flying to Mumbai).
Thats abt it

Hi praetor,
personally i feel that somehow MBA from NUS will be better...in this way u can be ready to launch your post MBA career in india as well as internationally...rather than being bound to india if u graduated from some indian institute.(leave the exceptions)....so i guess its good in a way...!!
Can you please also post the other schools u apped to....and give us some tips regarding the admit/finances etc...for NUS...as well as other schools that u applied to...
thanks a lot...

For a long time I kept on telling ppl that I don't intend to go abroad again as I thought (still think somewhat) that the future belongs to India. But somehow failed to convince my interview panels abt that as they keep on questioning abt my return to India and why wud I want to come back here??
Kunal

I can guess why NUS was happy on hearing that u intend to work in India (Many foreign B-skools are giving incentive to their students to return to their mother-land and work there.)
But why an Indian-Bschool is unhaapy i dont understand. Infact u could have been easily placed in a Indian or foreign MNC becoz of ur long exposure to outside culture. Only thing tat might have gone against u is that u have a BA (eventhough are foreign one) and indian schools are "believed" to have softcorner for engg grads

But still NUS is a gr8 skool Congrats on ur admit

Heres my profile

BA in Eco and Comp Sci (don't ask y), from Univ of Rochester, USA. Got calls from XLRI and XIM, but these X instis seem to have something against me as they keep on putting me on their waiting lists ( 2yrs in a row). Finally got frustrated and decided to apply abroad again. Got a call from NUS and decided to go for it.
Have abt 2yrs workex in mutual funds distribution and derivatives trading. Got a 690 on my GMAT (M-50, V-35).
Thats abt it I guess.

hi praetor3 /kunal
Congrats on the admit....Can u plz post ur profile....

Hi CATALYTIC,
I happened to meet this guy who passed out from TAPMI and then proceeded to NUS.
That was what my question was all about.
Am i planning it right?
You gave me the answer.Thnx for the same.
I got similar opnions before and i guess i am satisfied with what you told me.
Bye for now.

Hi there!!
Congrats man!!
I have heard a lot about NUS and i would love to join it someday.
Currently joining an indian B-SCHOOL.
How will it be if i get some work-ex in india after finishing with PGDBA and then have a shot at NUS ?
Am i planning it right?
PLz do guide me.

d00d did not get ur point.. after doing MBA from india u plan to do from NUS .. dont know which college u r joining but NUS is comparable to TOP 10 indian B-schools. I have hear d ppl going for 2nd MBA but they do it for super-specialisation in their field nad i dont think NUS provides super-sp .. For that matter u should look for options in Europe and US

Hi
congrats man .. can u post u r profile .. i will be applying for NUS next yr ..do keep in touch with pagal and tell us about the faculty and placements ate NUS

Hi,
I've gotten admission into the MBA prog at NUS and wondered whether there r others like me. So if you are going for ur MBA to NUS plz reply and maybe we can get to know more abt each other b4 the classes begin.
