Best MBA programs and scholarships abroad for Indian students

Last Updated on August 8, 2023 by Vishnu Nambiar

MBA (Master of Business Administration) is a 2-year course in India. But in the case of many reputed Universities abroad, MBA is just a one-year course, which involves much more value that the Indian version of the course! Such high-value courses are provided by Universities in countries like the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, etc. So, looking at that factor, pursuing MBA abroad in this way seems a good option. Here, I’ll share with you some best MBA programs and Scholarships, which will be of good use to Indian aspirants.

Advantages of doing an MBA abroad

Course duration advantage

First and foremost comes the time duration part. While it is not true in the cases of many Universities, a good number of them also give students the option to pursue 1 year long MBA courses also. And it must be noted that the 1-year variant doesn’t compromise on the value and quality when compared to the 2-year variant of the course.

International MBA has more value than most Indian MBA programs

I agree that an MBA Degree from the reputed IIMs and other reputed institutions has good value even on the Global stage. But sadly, the intake capacity of these premier institutes is very less. Also, the competition for these limited seats is sky-high!

This scenario ensures that a vast majority of MBA aspirants have to compromise with mediocre quality private MBA Programs offered by Private institutions. The expenses such as tuition fees levied at such colleges are also high.

But, the value of such MBA Degrees is nothing, when it comes to the Global stage. It is an International Degree or a Degree from the reputed premier institutes of India that matters! So, in case one can’t make it to the premier institutes in India, taking admission abroad and bagging an International degree makes good sense!

The value of the course is high

The trend these days in the Global job market is that International MBA degree holders and eating into the job opportunities of Indian graduates! Businesses prefer to hire the best-taught talent. They are well aware of the fact that in the case of most Indian graduates, the course taught is not the latest and balanced one. But the case is different when it comes to Universities abroad!

In the case of most foreign Universities, the MBA course taught there is balanced- the academics part and the real-world practice part. The course incorporates in it the latest business practices, unlike the static Indian courses!
