Just wanted to inform my fellow BTG members that I got an offer for the 11 month PGPM course at SP Jain Mumbai and I may well take up the offer.
I would have really loved an MBA from a US B school, but many things to take into account personaly for me. So gotta make some quick choices.

Anyways, thanks BTG once again.

Yup, thanks Rohini, I had some booze today, not much, back to work :), I have shortlisted schools, I am already into entrepreneurship, I worked in IT for 2 years(accenture-mumbai,malad) like most engineers in India, and then I started a small manufacturing firm with daddy in Ranchi. Money was his but idea was mine, total work ex 4 years. I have not researched many schools :(, just ISB. 2011 has been only GMAT and office, no booze, no holidays no friends except you people :). You and Rishi can suggest some more schools to me.I wanted to apply to NUS,but I have a close friend in the school and he has told me that operations is pathetic at NUS, so I am in a fix, dont wanna goto the US. I am eventually gonna end up managing the current firm here and of coarse I wanna start 1 more unit from my side 5 years down the line, already acquired another piece of land on a 30 year lease at cheap cost right beside the current factory.
Cheers !!

Hey bblast,

Great work dude! You have done what many ITians from India aspire to do but only a few dare to do it! :)

However, as far as NUS is concerned, I found it to be very suitable for HR related courses.
Regards,

Pranay

Rohini.. Risk is the name for this game.. do not fall back.. if it is your dream to hit US B school.. do it..
I am disappointed with your below post..

Sadly..theres no magic potion or one size fits all approach for this.
Is 34 your starting score? or something you have reached after dedicated effortS? Also which the main prb area in verbal..how are you preparing for verbal as such..
wihtout an answer to all these questions, im afraid its tough to give any suggestions.

Cheers,
Rohini
