I think the question is why you would want to do a second MBA? If it is to get a job in the EU then things are different vs you want to learn some more. In the former case, we are looking at full time programs however for the latter, we are looking at Exec program

Cheers

Hi.

Thanks for reverting.
Working in EU is not what I'm considering (though I'm not averse too)
Also, I'm not looking for Exec prog because I want to give my 100% to the prog and it is possible for me only when I take a break from job.

My objective is do go for a one year accelerated prog. (one of the best in the world) as I'm looking for diverse international exposure which helps me in fulfilling my ST & LT goals.

My ST goal is to work with one of the best consulting firms (preferabely in BPR) .
After some time (6-7 years) , starting my own venture is my long term goal.


Hope I'm able to clarify..

Would suggest a few things. Given the job market a job in EU also is going to be tough and the costs for one year are going to be in the range of 22 - 25 lacs.....Just bear these in mind.

INSEAD I believe is a pretty good program which has a 1.5 year program (pls check could be less). My cousin had a 660 and he did his MBA from there, but he was an MS and had some work ex in the US - https://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/

is very useful make sure to choose MBA rankings (default always goes to undergrad courses), look at the profiles of non US schools, this also has concentrations these schools are strong in.

In the US Babson, Olin are pretty good for entrepreneurship.
