Please clarify - New Zealand for an MBA. 13 Aug 2019, 19:52

My profile :
Indian, aged 25
Qualification : B.E (Electronics and communication)
Grade : 7.2 on 10
Experience : 3 years in Information Technology industry
GMAT : 650
IELTS : 7.5
Intake : Spring 2020.

Reasons why I chose New Zealand :
*Unlike European countries,No language barrier.
*Entire budget fits my pocket.
*Unlike MBA programs in the US which last for 2 years, programs in NZ are 12 to 18-months long.
*Unlike most of the biggies with class size of a few 100s, class size in NZ schools are way too small enabling healthier coordination.
*Availability of spring intake.


Want to know how good is my decision. Can I take this selection forward or should I reconsider my opinions.
Someone here please let me know about how good is New Zealand for an MBA, career growth, financial aids and other stuff.
If at all there is someone who feels New Zealand is not all that bad for an MBA, please let me know the best MBA program to opt for.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Sridharan23 I would only do it if you are looking to relocate there, which sounds appealing to me as an American! They are much more immigrant-friendly than most other countries. In this case, your alma mater would resonate with others there. But if not you will clearly have no alumni to rely on in India and it's questionable the value add of this move. If you are in a family business or not relying on school reputation with alums/recruiters I guess that would be a different case.

MBAPrepCoach My other options are SMU MBA(Singapore), WHU Otto MBA (Germany) and IESEG(France) MBA as these are some of the top b schools with spring intake. How would you rate these options.

Sridharan23 with my clients, school selection is not a the beginning of the process but rather after introspection and goal research. Asking me to pick a school for you is akin to ordering your dinner when I don't know what you like to eat or buying you a pair of pants when I have never seen you.

It seems that you have no special intention to become a kiwi.

If I were in your shoes, unless you are in a dire need to attend right away (like witness protection program haha) I would improve my GMAT and to increase access to higher ranked programs. Or if you have maxed out retake attempts with GMAT, take the GRE and see if that goes better for you.
