Hi ,
I have already done a Post graduation Diploma in management from India (from a low ranked school). I have also wroked for 4.5 years after that. Now I am plannig to pursue MBA from US. I have also got admission with an Assistantship and fellwoship from a good university in USA.
My questions is: can already having a business education, have an impact on my chances of getting a visa. How should I convince them that this second MBA is only for the education purpose and with a MBA from US, i will have a great chance in India, which my current education has not got me. and I am not a potentail immigrant
Kumar,
This is not a problem. We as a University are working with a number of students from weaker ranked management schools within India. You are absolutely right - the visa officer will ask why the second management degree pursuit. You have the logical answer, that the first qualification was okay but not great and US exposure is critical to your success. You can tell them how Indian business employers reject or question you because of the weakness of the PGDM.
All the best
