World’s top business schools to tour India

Highly ranked business schools in search of Indian students

The global MBA market continues to thrive, and the world’s employers are expanding hiring practices accordingly. To ensure that the world’s future business leaders have the opportunity to launch their careers at one of the world’s top business schools, global careers advice experts QS Quacquarelli Symonds will give students across India a unique chance to meet leading institutions as part of the QS World MBA Tour.

QS note that:

• Recent in-house research indicates that India remains the world’s second-biggest MBA jobs market;
• The global MBA market is projected to grow by 13% this year in the Asia-Pacific region – growth above the global average of 11%;
• India is to be a key driver of that growth;
• Salaries and bonuses for MBA graduates from the Asia-Pacific region is also rising, with an average increase of 11% reported by QS;
• This is especially true for students that have undergone further study abroad, with research suggesting that students with international study experience are more likely to gain employment within six months of graduating;
• In the wake of the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, tuition fees are likely to become more affordable for Indian students due to currency market fluctuations;
• The world’s best universities are recognising that Indian international student mobility has increased by 17.8% over the past year alone. To this end, QS will give students across Indian cities the opportunity to meet key decision-makers from highly-ranked business schools.

The QS World MBA Tour events will feature:

• The opportunity for students to meet with admissions directors – key decision-makers – from top international business students;
• Panels providing invaluable advice on MBA admissions strategy;
• Workshops dedicated to giving all attendees an edge when taking the GMAT;
• The opportunity to get first-hand accounts of life at a leading global business school from alumni of that school;
• Exclusive access to scholarships worth US$1.7 million.

The event will give students a unique opportunity to meet face-to-face with over 50 highly-ranked business schools, including:

• Johns Hopkins University’s Carey School of Business;
• The University of California’s Irvine-Mirage School;
• Spain’s IE School of Business;
