Also, can u elaborate on what exactly do u mean by NUS is more established? Would like to know where all NUS scores above nanyang. I think the marketing team of NUS really scores over Nanyang's marketing team.

Hey puneet,

i had e-mailed this contact of mine who works in Singapore... havent been able to speak to him... he just wrote back sayin "NUS seems to be more established" - dint clarify much since he is a very senior guy in my organisation.....

m not too clear either by what he meant but i think it might be the histor of both the instituitions.... in any cases, he also mentioned both are at par! so doesnt matter much....

Hi guys,

I have been offered admission from NTU. I have also been offered admission in IIML. I am in real dilemma now. Can someone please give me some information on the placement statistics of NTU and any other information which will help me make the decision. Also, what about the prospects of getting placed in India if I do my MBA from NTU? Please someone help me out here.


Thanks,
Abhishek

Hey Abhishek,

Congrats for getting into IIML and NTU. Placement will defintitely be better in IIML and moreover I can say IIM is IIM.

Comparing NTU and IIML might be difficult. It all depends on whats your aim and where you want to land after few years. IIM really has a big brand value in india and unfortunately NTU doesnt have in India. But NTU gives you an International exposure which might help you in long term. And I think NTU might be a big more expensive than IIML.

I can say if you are planning to build a carrer in India, then better choose IIML.

what is the procedure of admission... i have just got the letter from Oh Anna and thats it... nothing further is mentioned... how abt u guys?? Have you got any other intimation???

i m 99% sure of not taking up... spoke to one of my seniors in Sinagpore... acc to him it does not make big difference if you want to be in singapore... both schools are well regarded... just that NUS is more established...

Jaimin

Hi,

I really dont see any big difference bet NTU and NUS. I think Puneet has already compared the pros and cons of both the schools. It just that NTU costs you some 11K singapore dollar less.

But I will say if you have already accepted NUS, then you may decide to go there. I got the soft copy from NTU on my request. they want 1K by May 14 and tuition fee will be taken in 4 installments (details were not written in the softcopy). The 1st installment will be taken in registration time on July 22.

So see you in Singapore then :poketounge:

Hey Jaimin,

I still havent received the letter. Although expecting it by next week as its only been 13 days since i got my admit. They had said 2-3 weeks. Good to know that NUS & Nanyang are at par atleast in singapore if not in india.

Also, can u elaborate on what exactly do u mean by NUS is more established? Would like to know where all NUS scores above nanyang. I think the marketing team of NUS really scores over Nanyang's marketing team.

the funniest part is that i could not find placment stats for Nanyang anywhere... however if it is equivalent to NUS, placement would be in range of S$70k (1S$ = ~INR29)... although you pay only 5% tax there, the rentals are quite high...

coming to job in India - i cant really comment.. however, couple of seniors from NUS would be doing their summers in India... NUS is relatively more known in India than Nanyang for simple reason that around 30% of batch size in NUS are Indians... so thats the reason NUS is known in India and recognised as par wid IIMs... cant say the same thing abt Nanyang... however, if u wish to stay in Singapore, both NUS and Nanyang are equally good....

I would not like to comment on IIM-L v/s Nanyang since they are two very diff schools... you cannot compare apples to oranges... both are decently strong brands in their respective countries...

Thanks,
Ashu

Hey when were you interviewed?Profile?Joining?

Congratulations to all those who have got their admission offers from NTU!! was wondering if anyone who applied towards end of feb/early march has got an interview call......... is there any pattern with the interview calls or is it completely random? I applied in the last week of feb...with a decent GMAT score.....havent heard from NTU folks as yet.

Hi All,

Hey guyz..

Received the admit offer from Nanyang today...
Not sure whether I shd be taking it...have to now choose between Indiana-Kelley (GA 32k USD), Nanyang and NMIMS (India).
Looking at Corporate Finance as a specialization, keen on Asia from a long term perspective. In a real dilemma so wud appreciate any inputs....


Journey 2008:
Admits: Indiana-Kelley, Georgetown, HKU, Nanyang, SP Jain S'pore, NMIMS
Declined: HKU, SP Jain S'pore, Georgetown
Pending: HKUST

Congrats guys who have been offered admission into NTU and best of luck for others who are yet to get call.

At least the count is increasing as now I think 6 of us have been offered admission and I hope the count will go to atleast 15. In that case we will have a decent batch of Indians there.

Fnds who are planning to accept the offer can join the google group I created so that we can discuss our future plans. The group is in my signature.

@puneet

that was very helpful... just in process of speakin to more ppl.... will let u guys knw what they think

@vivek

was interviewed on thursday i.e. 24th april

jaimin

Hey , Congrats
when did u have ur interview? when did u get ur accept?

hi vivek,
i had it a couple of days back...
got the accept today....

hth....

Congrats...

So r u planning to take up the offer....

Hi puntoo,

i most probably will...
this is the only admit i have....

hey puys,

got the offer of admission today...

Now the issue is that i have already confirmed wid NUS... Apart from rankings, Nanyang has not been giving me any kind of positive vibes.. be it the website or application form or admission process... dunno what to do...

is there some benevolent soul who can guide me..... :tellme:

Hey , Congrats

Hey Jaimin,

Congrats

I think NUS would hold an edge over Nanyang. ( I got a reject from NUS after waitlist & admit from NTU)

NUS seems more vibrant & also has a lot of indians. This encourages a lot of indian companies to visit NUS & maybe give a miss to Nanyang. Although, this year nanyang placements have been equally good or maybe even better as compared to NUS, I still feel that NUS seems to be moving in the rite direction at a faster pace.

Things like Cerebration & the Warren Buffett meet along with impresive exchange programs makes NUS look more happening.

Nanyang ofcourse is less expensive, highly ranked & has lesser indians & more europeans. If u r planning to stay in singapore for a while then i think both the colleges would be quite similarly placed whn it comes to placements.

So far, after speaking to students from both colleges, the faculty & the infrastructure of both the colleges seems very impressive.

So, I wld say tht if u want to come back to India, then NUS certainly has a better brand name. In singapore, i feel, NTU is similar to NUS in every respect. (NUS has a slightly modern infrastructure i believe & i feel NBS has better diversityof students).

This is wat i feel. Hope this helps..

Hey Ansh,

I agree that so far the trend has been that ppl with high GMAT are getting calls. But y dint u give ur GMAT a second time. I m sure a week of prep & you would have done better a second time. (Since you know wat to expect)

GMAT is 1 of the criterias, thats agreed but just like me even u dont have high work exp, so somewhere v need to excel. Also, if ur acads r excellent, then a low GMAT mite not hamper ur chances. Plus, if ur work experience is something different, tht mite help. These ppl like to have a diversified class.

All the best.

Puneet

Hey Puneet .thanks once again.

My profile is a crazy one -

good acads
good extra curr
3 yrs work ex
pathetic gmat score - 630 ; 5.5 :(
gave the gmat without much preparation.

ive seen the ppl on the forum who r makin it for the interview and admits having high gmat scores like 700 , 720 and thts precisely why im scared as hell lolz..but then ive heard that GMAT is one of the several criterias for selection so hearing that does calm me down a bit.

lets c if i dunt make it this yr maybe i study for the gmat after takin a break frm my work for some time and apply next yr ...but wud really wanna make it to NTU this yr.

lets c wht the future holds.

Take care nd all the very best.

Puneet, Thanks sooooooo much for the info.wanted to know one more thing.I applied last week for the program and sent my documents by courier which they received as well. my application ids last 4 digits are 1100 odd.any idea by when will they interview me (incase they plan to that is lol).

when did u apply and after how many days did they call u for the interview?your suggestion in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks once again

Ansh

Hey vivek,

I was interviewed on 16th... Got my admit on 18th..... which was damn quick... I had applied in the last wek of december & my documents had reached them on 4th January.

Ansh,

I have no idea how long will they take to revert back. I cant even judge that with your application number as none of us know if there is a particular method of giving calls. But be prepared at all times as you may get a call anytime without any prior intimation. All the best for the same.

Hey Nouveau,

I am also quite sure of taking it. I have a bit of insider information as i have been speaking to a few current students at NTU. Regarding the 4th Trimester, the dates will be the same as the 1st Trimester. We will be ending our course by the end of October. The 8 weeks recess is the time when we are supposed to do internships. We can even extend this time to mid august. We will have to manage our studies along with internships if we plan to extend them.

Also, in the last trimester you can even go for an exchange program, although it dosent seem too viable as that would be the most important time to do your networking to find the best possible job. This is wat i feel. If you are lucky enuf to find a job before that then i thing an exchange prog wld be brilliant. (People do get placed well in advance).

Hope this helps.

regards,
Puneet

Puneet, yes I am decided that I will take it up. How about you?
Others have you made the decision?

As for the academic schedule, I still havent figured out the 4th trimestor details. Is is exclusively for internships or something else? And what exactly is the passing out date? The NTU website is sadly silent on all these or so it seems.
And what on earth do students to during the 2 months or so summer break. Internship?

Punnet, you seem to have a lot of insider information and it will be great if you can throw some lights on all these.

1) I dont think you have to choose your specialization at this stage. You can choose to do a specialization or take up a general MBA at a much later stage after the completion of the basic courses. By doing four courses in a particular field you specialize in that field. I have been told by a current student that a specialization does assist while getting a job in that sector (eg - finance specialization will help in finding a finance based job), Although again no guarantee that you will get a job only because u have done ur specialization. I would suggest dont bother abt it rite now.

While filling the form even if u do select specialization, you can always change it . This is wat i feel. Nowhere is it given in my admit e-mail that i have been selected for Nanyang MBA with a specialization in finance( i had selected specialization in finance while filing the form)

2) Nanyang generally calls on the cell phone directly without any prior intimation. The calls could be even as late as 11.30 in the nite.

Hi guys

I will be grateful if those who have been admitted in the nanyang mba could answer a few of my questions -

1)is the general mba option better than selecting the specialisation mba option?it is mentioned that in the general mba one can select his or her specialisation as and when he wants.which is beter recommended by you all?


2)for the telephonic interview conducted by nanyang, do they call u on your home phone number , office phone number or on your mobile number which has been provided to them in the application form?




I will really appreciate it if you could solve these doubts that i have

thanks a lot in advance

I guess they are trying to filter the profiles before interview itself and I hop most of the candidates who have been interviewed will get an admit :-)

No doubt its a really good school. I know most of us (inclusing me) are a bit concerned over the placement. But I must say out side India no where any B'School has a concept of placamen week inclusding US and Europe. But I also feel putting a little bit effort it wont be difficult to find a decent job after NTU. We may not get "the" job we want, but finding "a" job should not be a daunting task.

Moreover ROI is really good in NTU. Its ranking is 46 and cost wise with all the expensiture it will be 14-15 lacs which is really cheap in we compare US and Europe B'Schools. With a mounting US recession I persoannly dont see any reason to do a MBA in US or Europe. I always feel future lies in Asia and India and thats the reason I personally decided to do my MBA in Asis.

If I would compare ISB or IIMs with NTU then I must say they are better and even I wont think of NTU infront of them. They certainly have a big advantage of huge plcamanent. But if I were ask to compare NTU with any other B'Schools in India and most of the schools in Asis (inclusing SP Jain Dubai and AIM), I will certainly prefer NTU because of its location, brand value, ROI , diversity, and level of education. Return may not great for 2-3 years after MBA but down the line 5-10 years it will really pay off and moreover it depends where we are seeing ourself ater 5-10 years. I will certainly like to say myself that I have done my MBA from a top 50 B'Schools in world.

Hey Suresh,
Very true..I absolutely agree with u.. And trust me I do hope no one who has been interviewed gets a reject!! Lol
Wud ya know of anyone who has been this unlucky?
I think overall a person wud "learn" much more due to the peer profile and the international exposure
Also I would kinda feel outta place @ IIMs for some reason
the motto seems to be "work hard no fun"..cant quite do it
Am somehow rasonably sure of doing well at NTU and sure of not doin well at IIM..
Really look fwd to the fantastic exposure
And as u said..at the moment US MBA is not very attractive , especially for osmeone with 2 years work ex(like me)

Hey guys..

Got an interview call yesterday night...as ppl have mentioned on this forum, more of a casual conversation really. Pretty much similar questions as elaborated by jshah29...the interviewer was pretty keen on gauging whether I wud tk up Nanyang if offered...so a lot of emphasis on why Nanyang vis-a-vis my other options ( hv few admits)..and also focussed on the internship scope in S'pore with my current employer...plus sum general questions regd family profile and future aspirations...

All the best to all...has anyone decided on Nanyang yet ? If so kindly share how Nanyang compares relative to other premier b-schools...

Hi Suresh

I have an admit for sp jain dubai/singapore and waitng for Nanyang.
In your opinion which is better nanyang or Sp jain

I have very little time to accept Sp jain offer,really confused should wait for nanyang or go with sp jain?

Any views ?

Thanks
Shweta

Hi Shweta,

As I already said opinion differs from person to person. I feel NTU is always better than SP Jain Dubai. If it were SP Jain Mumbai 1 yr program then choice would have been difficult.

But as you said you have less time to aacept SP Jain, I will say you can consider the same. Atleast SP Jain guarantee you placement. I will also suggest you to call NTU and ask them about ur application.

Hi vivek,

I am working for Infotech Enterprises Ltd. Hyderabad...

I know opinion differs from person to person, but I feel NTU is always better than AIM. If you get an admit you should consider seriously to join that.

guys..
anyone with above 720 who applied and got interviewed or not interviewed???:gunsmilie::gunsmilie:

Hi guys,

I got a call from Nanyang last evening - 8pm IST. Without any prior intimation. Interview lasted around 20 mins, with questions like What sets you apart from the rest of the applicants ? About community service..NGOs .. Corporate Social Responsibility.. What would I do if i got a reject from all the univs. that I applied to ? What other admits do I have ? etc. It was more of a casual discussion.

My profile :-

GMAT - 720
Work-ex : 3 years in GIS consulting
Acads - good
Extra currs - good.

I have an admit from AIM. Turned down GLIM and SPJAIN. If I get an acceptance from NBS, then surely I would be in a dilemma between AIM and NBS. Any opinions ?

Thanks.

Hi all?
Are there any other intakes for Nanyang MBA? Oct /Dec ?
Any idea.

I think there is only one intake in Jul for full time MBA. If u hv secured admission but want to join later, you should check with the school or search their website to find if such an option exists.

Hi guys

End of March I applied for the NTU double-MBA (waseda), the MBA and a specialized master in International Business, following my priorities.
I obtained an interview the April 18th (Friday), and received an admission offer the April 21th (Monday) for my first wish, the double-MBA. Even tho the interviewer said that it would require typically 2 weeks to be notified, he also told me that the examination comitee would gather Monday.

My profile is as follow:

French, 28yo
PhD in geophysics and remote sensing from French university (Toulouse)
Toefl: 113/120
Gmat: 520 (1 try), AWA:5
Excellent academics (2 awards for project proposal, 3 international papers,...)
Important international exposure (3y univ degree in Barcelona, lots of international conferences and research trips, 6 months of research in ERI (univ of Tokyo), activities in Egypt, Bangladesh and Singapore).
Various experience science and business management (Univ lecturer in science (4y), student research supervisor (3y), scientific project leader (3y), project manager assistant of a seismic crew in operation (9m)).

I was surprised to be offered the admission considering my low gmat score but I had excellent reference letters and the interview went pretty well.

Good luck to the other applicants.

I think I will go for a graduate room in the NTU campus. However, I am use to live with flatmates and it is most of the time a cheaper alternative. So if anyone is interrested in getting a flat with few classmates and/or have any interresting propositions please feel free to Email me.

See ya

Dude..a lot of ppl have their hope pinned with NTU, lets wait and hope that most of us get our interview calls. All the best to all.......GMAT-690/4.5.......Work ex -3 yrs. banking Citi.....Less than Avg acads.....decent extra curricular-NGO exp as well.....submitted my app on 29th feb , i am waiting for a call as well.

Congrats to all who have received admits. I
t seems 7-8 have already received from India ( from Pagalguy) and there might be others who are not on Pagalguy.

If the number of Indian admits is generally around 15 ..then I guess the chances of receiving a call now are very less.....

Hey Div_nasa u made my day..all my life's hopes were resting on this!!
thanks!:gunsmilie::gunsmilie:
