Is this just a way of surrogate advertising (I mean your signature is against forum rules, edit it). Why isnt your friend asking this question, instead of you. Anyway, which university is he going to, I myself am heading for UK to do my masters and have done quite a bit of research on B Schools in UK. So if you give me the name of the school he is going to I guess I would be able to tell you how good it is.

In general there are about 8 to 10 B Schools in UK that have excellent international recognition and also have very high standard of teaching.

These are
1.) LBS
2.) Judge and Said
3.) Cranfield SOM (most rankings put Cranfield in the second position especially for marketing and management courses), Warwick Business School, Manchester
4.) Lancaster, Cass (Very reputed for its finance courses and for finance would be among the top 4 schools)
5.) Nottingham, Durham and so on.

This is just a general ranking based on my research and also the many different rankings that I referred to (So please no one come accusing me of anything, if you have a different set of ranking please post it).

Outside these set of schools I wouldn't go to any other B school in UK (especially if I am an international student). Based on what you are saying it seems like your friend is going to one of those "n" number of 3rd rate schools that extensively advertise themselves in India. Unfortunately many people fall for these advertisements only to repent afterwards. I know quite a few number of people who have made a similar mistake and are now back in India with a degree that is not well recognized in India.

Thanks for your comments. Actually i have already told my friend in indirect words that it is not advisable to go to UK, considering all the options which he has provided. I am not aware of the exact university but now i would ask him to come to this forum and tell the details. Actually he is somewhat stubborn in his decision because he is kind of depressed of loosing one more year, here in India.

Hi ,

I am a resident in Uk and currently working in one of the colleges. I would say to ask your friend work out in india rather than in UK. Its going to be a waste of money spending MBA in Uk. we have such good institues in india.Well instead on spending for MBA in UK its better to deposit the money in bank and enjoy interest.

Sukhada, pls tell the same thing to my friend. I am right now in office and left my mobile at my home. Once i reach there, i would ask him to come online. Pls, explain him with logical points otherwise it would be difficult for him to understand. Thank you

Never heard of it, I have already given you the list of top B Schools in UK. Beyond that it is purely a personal decision.

PS: - Since you did not edit your signature, (If you remember I told you in my very first post that it broke forum rules) I did it for you
