Cranfield MBA 2014 intake

Dear Friends;

In last one month, I have gone through lot of dilemma on joining Cranfield. Today, I have closed it officially through responding it to Cranfield. I have also shared my analysis on decision with Cranfield. I hope that Cranfield along with other schools may influence U.K. government on relaxing Work Visa permit for MBA graduates.

I am sharing with you all on what I have written to Cranfield

The various reasons for which I have to turn down the offer are as follows:-
1) There is very high risk on investment, as chance of getting the job for Asians is very less. There are 27000 companies in U.K. who are authorized for sponsoring the non European professionals.
2) Job opportunity for Non IT professional is even tough.
3) The tuition fee is quite high .
4) The financial times ranking of Cranfield MBA is consistently dropping (2010 - 26th, 2011 - 34th, 2012 - 36th, 2013 - 38th, 2014 - 46th).

The very stringent work visa policy at U.K. is most cautious and decision making factor in joining any U.K. MBA program. According to my research, the actual employment rate for the UK based universities is actually almost 50% ONLY. And this 50% includes the local people - it is very difficult for Asians to crack something special, because when the company has to sponsor for the visa, they need to give in writing to government that what you have which a local UK professional doesn’t have.

Friends, I have another choice in my hand which is XLRI, Jamshedpur and I have decided to join GMP program which is starting from 13th June 14.

Regards,
Amit
