As you don't have an offer from LUBS, so I wud suggest you to go for NUBS(Nottingham). It is a v. good business school and well reputed in UK... It is AMBA accredited as well... Also, it is Ranked in FT TOP 100 Global MBA and EIU(Economist Intelligence Unit) and among TOP 10 Business Schools in UK IN RAE(Research Assessment Exercise) 2008... I suggest you to go through - RAE 2008 Ratings + TQA + The times publication UK + FT Rankings + EIU.... All the BEST!!! Thanks !!!

Hi Indresh

Nice to hear from you.
Well I have applied in near about 10 Business Schools in UK (Lancaster, Bath, Bradford, strathclyde, Nottingham, Brunel, Durham, Leeds, Aston, Edinburgh). However my application has been rejected from Lancaster and Durham and Waiting for the Interview from Bradford. Still waiting for the reply from rest of the Universities.

As far as Placement is concerned, I am trying to track as much information as possible, However I have followed Financial Times official Website.

Hey can u please let me know your contact details. My e-mail ID is [email protected].

Hi guyz

Nottingham university is a very reputed university in UK.
Although its a lil crunch time but the unversity has gud links with the companies. All in all an excellent B school, great faculty, gud city, gud campus, international exposure... wat all u need ? :)

Hi Jasneet,

Congratzz for taking add in NUBS.

Do you have any idea about previous years campus placements like companies came for recruitment,package offered,campus placement chances, industry- B School relations,recruitment events conducted by NUBS for MBA etc

Thanxx

Dear Friends,
I also got offers from Leeds and Nottingham for September 2009 full time MBA programme. As the investment is big, 20 lakhs plus so I discussed with friends about career and job prospects. They say it's not very good. These universities do not provide placements. We have to search jobs in fairs. I tried to find placement statistics of UK B schools, but did not succeed. The quality of education is really good but I am worried about the return on investment. Suppose we have to return India after MBA, then how to repay the loans of 20 lakhs. The EMI will be quite large sum. Most of the students return to India after MBA.
Friends, what do you feel about the post MBA prospects and return on investment. Please guide and show some light.

Warm regards

Dear HK,

These universities have placement cells but no. of placements provided is very less.I confirmed this with previous years students at Nottingham Most probably we have to search job ourselves.Leeds is better than Nottingham in almost all respects.
I agree with you that ROI is important factor but only some top UK B schools provide good placements.

As far as placements stat is concerned you can get those only by directly contacting university.

U take a rough idea at ft.com

Thanks Dear for honest views.

Did you decide about the university. Please share. Kindly provide more invaluable inputs.

My primary concern is big money investment, ROI, leave from job for one year, and return to India for job hunting. Please share your point of view.

Kind Regards

I just got a offer from nottingham... ittle aprehensive about accepting it as u say its huge investment.College is good but i know so many from last batch who are still looking for work.UK colleges do have employment cells but its not like campus placements in US or India.so ur kinda on ur own really.People do return to india and do get good payed jobs there but the loan amount little difficult to be payed off on indian salaries. Nottingham city is beautiful but we must not forget gun crimes there.
Thing is college does have a good reputation among local market here.Like aston and bradford isnt really recoginsed by people .but nottingham they do recognise the name.
Also to keep in mind is time taken to get job after uni.u need to keep that expenditure in mind.UK cost of living is really high.with bad market temporary student jobs are not so readily available. well these are my concerns so am thinking aloud. And also for future jobs its high likely to be based on ur current field.if ur looking for a change then im not sure .

Dear,

Thank you very much for honest views. We appreciate your great research and analysis.

Did you decide any school? We are all concerned about the return. After all, we do not want to go for one year expensive outing with uncertain future.

The money spent will be around 20-25 lakhs for single person.
Can any body give insights about the return and post MBA jobs? We feel that UK scene is not very good. We have to return to India.

If we have to go back to same jobs in India after MBA, of course with international MBA exposure, then how to pay back the heavy loans. We feel that it will be big risk to put all our savings for one year MBA without assessing the prospects.

Please put your views.

Regards
