Guys here are the answers to the questions you have been asking. Please read carefully and avoid asking the same questions again -
1. What is the program cost for NANYANG-ST. GALLEN Double Masters or Double MBA
For Double Masters : it will be Nanyang MBA fees of S$55,000 + S$3,000 (approx) for the SIM Masters. This covers tuition fees only
For Double MBA : it will it will be Nanyang MBA fees of S$55,000 + CHF 60,000 (approx) for the St Gallen MBA. This covers tuition fees only
2. Is the admission criteria different for General MBA/Specialized MBA/Dual Degree MBA
The same criteria applies to all MBA programs at Nanyang.
However, for Double Masters and Double MBA, the partner school wil review and assess the applications as well.They need to agree to accept the student. The same applies to us when students from partner schools apply for admissions to The NANYANG MBA.
3. Would i need to apply for ST. Gallen along with my application to NTU.
Presenty ,the practice is to apply at either school, and to indicate applying for the Double MBA at the point of application. If you were admitted by Nanyang thereafter, you can apply to the SIM Masters during the 1st/2nd term. Nanyang will review and submit shortlisted candidates to St Gallen. St Gallen will then review/assess the applications. Your performance during the first term (academic) plays an important role in the selection
Same applies to Double MBA. Though there will be less competition for Double MBA seats.
BTW, St Gallen SIM participants are younger and less experienced than a typical MBA candidate.
4. Do I have an option to change from one program to another during my application process.
The change is in effect when you are offered a seat. It does not matter whether you changed from one program to another during the application stage-general, specialization or DOuble MBA- except Nanyang Waseda Double MBA which require a separate application form.
5. Can you please let me know if I can have a verbal communication with current students at Nanyang. - We don't encourage this right until at least the candidate gets the interview call? Yes, based on feedback from past students. We typically point them to forum,such as PG because of obvious reasons-they ask common questions which is best answered in a forum for the sake of many. We are aware Nanyang MBA students are pretty much busy!
6. For sending scores, via MBA.com- there is no option for Waseda double MBA. So which of the following option can be selected - NTU Full time program or NTU Part Time program?
Yes NTU Full Time - Nanyang Waseda is a full time NBS MBA program
7. Visa Rules- Does Singapore offers work permit to students after passing? How many months are we allowed to stay after the completion of the MBA to find the jobs?
The student passs issued is typically 2 years when you commence your studies or when you obtain your pass physically in Singapore.This means you have some 8 months after you complete your studies. However, ICA (immigration office) can change this as and when they want to. Take note!

Will get back to you on this shortly. As I am not part of the double MBA program, I am trying to get these details from the MBA office for you.
