Have not done an in-depth analysis, but here is what I know, and so please take it with a pinch of salt.
Pros:
Fee - If you choose the India program, you automatically get a 10K CAD scholarship for year 1. If you manage to maintain a certain grade in year 1, the scholarship gets renewed for year 2.
Living costs will come down by atleast 10K CAD.
Same faculty fly in from Canada to lecture, so no compromise on the quality of education.
Cons:
Networking might be a wee bit of a problem as you are in India and it might affect the chances of internship (won't be a problem if you are smart).
Class would be all Indians, and so you loose out on the international experience in the first year.
A good friend of mine graduated from the program two years ago (it used to be run from the SP Jain campus in Mumbai) and he is currently working with CIBC in Toronto, Canada.[/quote]
I guess no major setback then. Specially when quality of education is same. Does the degree specifically mentions MBA in India program or what?[/quote]
No minor setback, I would say. As for me, an international exposure with a diverse cohort and different internship would matter the most. Also, when I met satyameet ahuja, who is the associate director of the Mba in India, he said that last year a student from the India Mba program got a package with Amazon for $145000. The faculty and students were stunned. Maybe it was a one-off case, but Amazon surely didn't see it as any different from the Canada program.

Yes what u r saying is right, thats why when I was asked in interview if given MBA program in India what would be my take? I told him the same thing. My first preference would be Keele campus but yes depending upon other options I receive I would seriously consider it.
