APAC b schools - CEIBS, HKUST,MBS, ISB, AIM

As per FT their ranks are -

CEIBS
HKUST
ISB
MBS (Melbourne)
NUS
AIM - i remember until few yrs ago AIM used to be among top ranked b schools in asia, wats happening now

As compared to europe or us these schools have better ROI

CEIBS & HKUST - encourages its students to learn chinese/mandarian - which in one sense is good but in another sense adds more burden in addition to MBA studies

CEIBS & HKUST - have pretty small batch size as compared to ISB !

I really wonder why ISB is increasing batch size so rapidly from 300 3 yrs ago to 560 this yr !! I am not sure if they are recruiting faculties in the same ratio !!

My opinion of CEIBS & HKUST - good if u want to work in HK, China, great schools for finance !!

More thn 60% Chinese/taiwanese students ( not an issue but a feature)

Small batch size gives u gud visibility and interaction with faculties !!

MBS - one of the oldes b school in APAC. Was ranked high during early 2000s somehow has dropped in FT ranking - dont know the reasons !!

AIM, Manila - no clues - someone pls throw sme light !!
