Hi,
I am an IIM (Indian IT Male)
but not the usual one i.e. I am not a hard core IT guy rather I work as IT Consultant in an Indian IT firm.
Can I please request a profile evaluation for myself. Below are the key details
GMAT:- 710 (Q48/V38, IR 7 and AWA 5.5)
Grad:- 76.25% (Bachelor of engineering - Elec and comm)
12th Grade:- 69%
10th Grade:- 77.2%
Current Job exp:- 5.5 years
Job profile:- Business process consultant in one of the largest Indian IT firm. Job includes constant client interaction and considerable amount of international exposure with teams working across the globe in countries like UK, India, China and Sri Lanka
Extra Curricular:- Have been part of theater groups in school and college. Written and directed several satires at college level. Currently part of the in-house theater group in the organisation where I am working, involved in writing and directing various street plays centered around social issues
Have won various inter-collegiate quiz competitions
In choosing an MBA program I have few constraints which I am listing down as below
1. Financial - I would be financing my studies by my own saved money and bank loan hence I cannot go beyond 350K INR which comes out to be around $58K.
2. Duration - I would not be able to afford a break from my job longer than that of 1 year
3. Geography - I am a bit wary of countries like UK where it gets really tough to search for a job as the time permitted by visa norms is very less for international students and the competition is really tough
4. Intake - I would be able to make for the 2015 intake only as I need to save up a good amount of money before I take off for an MBA
With the above constraints(and talking to local MBA consultant) I have come up with few options
1. India - ISB and the IIMs
2. Singapore - NTU, SMU and NUS (I feel these colleges are bit out of bound for a profile like me
)
3. Ireland - UCD and Trinity
4. New Zealand - University of Auckland
I need to understand whether the choices that I have listed down are a viable option for me or not. Also I need to know if there are any other options that I can think of. Can someone please help me with this.
Many thanks in anticipation
