I am currently working with International IT MNC in telecom domain with 4+ years of experience, majorly in Project Implementation. If I want to retain my same line of professional what kind of MBA suits me. Also, what are the other options for me?
Nahush, if you want to retain your professional line then you could go for an MBA with a specialization (major) in IT. Most premier institutes offering an MBA do offer the IT specialization. Alternatively, you could try for the PGDCM at IIM Calcutta. Further, you could opt for an MS from an institute like BITS Pilani or one of the IITs, which would be an MS/M.Tech in Telecom.
2) I am not willing to take much of the loan and want to pursue MBA from Singapore or Hong Kong ( I am indian) . What is your recommendations on this. I already have Diploma in Telecom Management from one of the premier Indian Universities
You could opt for the Singapore or Hong Kong locations for the MBA, which would give you a pan-Asian reach in terms of placements. Taking a loan or not is a personal decision dependent on your financial position - if you can avoid taking it and want to do so, by all means go ahead. The best places for an MBA in Singapore/Hong Kong are NUS/NTU/INSEAD (Singapore) and HKUST (Hong Kong).
