INSEAD/ IMD Jan 2009

Hi,

Now looking at applying to INSEAD/ IMD for the Jan 2009 intake.
I'm wondering if my undergrad/Bachelors degree will be considered as equivalent to an American degree.
Indian Engineering students looking at an MBA don't face a problem 'cause they have a 4year degree. What do other students do?

Dear StuckInALoopHole:

Your 3 year degree from India is not equivalent to a US bachelor's degree. It is possible that the combination of the 3 year degree and post graduate diploma will equal a US bachelor's degree, but you would need to get your two transcripts evaluated to confirm that the combination would equal a US bachelor's degree.

You should also check with INSEAD and IMD to determine the requirements and how those schools will view your education.

Best of luck,
Lisa

"Your 3 year degree from India is not equivalent to a US bachelor's degree".. Are you sure about that? Almost everywhere else other than US and Canada (e.g. London), you've a 3 years bachelor program and that is usually because high school standards abroad is much higher than in the US. I don't think you need another degree to make it equivalent to an US degree. I might be wrong though, as I got my degree from the US, although in 3 years because of my high school credits :)
