According to the latest new available from ukba , UK is now limiting the number of Tier-1 visas to 1000 from April 2011. The number of people under Tier 2 (General) visa will be capped at 20,700,and they will be able to stay in the UK for a maximum of 5 years ( provided their yearly salary is atleast 40K GBP)
This seems like moving to a visa/immigration system like one in the US.
The number of visa applications is going to rise in the next few month for sure.

Accounting WAC : Video
Here is the feeling of our cohort after getting the accounting WAC. As usual, there was a duration of 24 hours in which to turn in the written assessment of a case (WAC).
Exciting times and I really enjoyed the case and the time we had while discussing and writing it.

First WAC - impressions
Written Assessment of a Case - commonly known as WAC in Cranfield parlance got over last weekend, and I must say it was fun.
It was handed over to us at 4 pm on Friday, and you had to be here to see the motions people were going through.
I managed to capture a video and a few reactions.

Test your imagination! (via Richard Wiseman's Blog)
Found an amazing post on Richard Wiseman's blog. Nice collection of creative pictures. Just amazed to see how the human eye can perceive something out of nothing.
About Cranfield MBA ...
A lot of people have asked me recently about how is it at Cranfield, and how life is when you join an MBA.
I am giving a shot to answer a few questions here.
Q> How is life at Cranfield
A> Cool ! I must say, and I have enjoyed every bit of it as of now. The pressure kicks in from day 1, but you get used to it. You learn to pace things up, and also learn to prioritise. Also you know how to be efficient when learning in teams.
Q> How is education/quality of curriculum.
A> World Class ! The professors are aweeeesoooommmmeeee.. About the curriculum, do have a look at our school website and see if it suffices any of your requirements.
Q>How is the post MBA job scenario in UK ?
A>Its quite dim. But it depends on person to person. Do see my earlier posts on "Getting a job in UK post MBA" and others to know more.
Q> What if I want to return to India after MBA ?
A> Not an issue. Many people have done that. Only thing is getting a good paying job to pay off the loan, otherwise not much an issue, as we do have good job market in India. But, if you want to go back to India, better do an MBA in India, from some reputed institute... as Cranfield is virtually unknown in India.
Q> I have x years of experience, do I qualify.
A> Let me answer it straight, if x<5, dont even think about it. If its more than 5, do write to the adcom and have your profile evaluated. Or email me, I could help. (for free !)
Q> US or UK ?
A> Deciding between US and UK schools

Onstartup - The 11 Harsh Realities Of Being An Entrepreneur
http://onstartups.com/tabid/3339/bid/17741/The-11-Harsh-Realities-Of-Being-An-Entrepreneur.aspx
Interesting article on onstartups.com - The 11 Harsh Realities Of Being An Entrepreneur
If you are an entrepreneur or want to be one (or have been bitten by the bug atleast), you would have come across some or all of these. Nicely summarised.
If you think there are more realities, harsher than listed here, comments are welcome.
