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
