Hi,
Its must be fairly common question here, but i will go ahead and ask it again.
I (India/Engineering/Male) have 12 yr of work experience where i worked in core engineering projects (Hydropower) as an engineering consultant. I have risen in my company and gave 8yrs of International experience, where i worked on a Bi-lateral project (still working). I am also managing teams and a big project for past 3 years and loving it.
So, i decided to pursue MBA in General management. I have managed to get 740 in GMAT.
The reason i want to pursue General Management is that it includes managing different aspects of a business. It is something can relate with as I am doing this on daily basis and have gained knowledge of different aspects, both technical and commercial, of running a company.
I want to know what B-schools in US and UK would be a good fit for this profile?
Further, is there any other MBA specialization or Post MBA industry that can be good fit for someone with engineering experience?
I would appreciate if someone can give me his/her honest views on this.
Regards

manmohit10 hope this finds you well
Although 12 years is a relatively long time for applying for an MBA at most B Schools, 8 years of international experience combined with attractive prospects to progress in your company can be considered as compelling reasons to continue in your employment. I believe you have a strong chance of being accepted into some of the best programs in the EU, UK, and US.
In the short term, you can pivot to management consulting at MBB, where your vast industry knowledge will be highly valued. You might also look into leadership roles and tracks at companies that are well-positioned in an industry similar to your current one (such as energy). Siemens CEO track is a leadership program that I recommend to applicants with experience in the energy or heavy manufacturing sector.
Here are my suggestions for suitable MBA programs (though you must take note that some of the schools in the EU and UK are currently running late rounds so the competition is fierce)
USA:
M7 and Top15 (but you should get a read on your 12 years of work experience by connecting with the admissions offices)
Kellogg 1 year
Columbia J Term
MIT Sloan Fellows Program
Cornell Tech MBA (if tech interests you)
UK-
LBS
OXFORD
CAMBRIDGE
EU-
IMD
INSEAD
HEC Paris
IESE
Best wishes

Thanks for the reply.
I have contacted some colleges and they suggested me one year program would not be suitable as i would looking at industry change after the MBA. Considering this, at this moment, I am thinking of targeting selected US & UK schools.
I wanted to know if any B schools looks at such a profile favorably.
