Accredited MBA Programs - What are They?

Any international accreditation is honorable, but we would like to mention the accreditation of AMBA (The headquarters of this organization is located in the UK). AMBA accreditation currently is given to 161 schools in 72 countries. AMBA is among 3 most influential in the world international accreditations, along with AACSB (USA) and EQUIS (Belgium). Their authority is checked in time, and accredited educational institutions by them, as a rule, are world-renowned brands.

How Accredited MBA programs Differ from Others?

AMBA accreditation is given for a certain period. 5 years is a maximum, after which the MBA School should go through the whole procedure again.

What gives accreditation to graduates, employers and business school?
 

Do you think that you will face rigid requirements at entry to prestigious MBA program? In India over 200 000 applicants compete at entry on 1600 places of elite MBA programs  of IIMs institute  (Indian Institute of Management). These programs are not presented in the international ratings. Mainly they serve as an initial step for the Indian students-engineers who wish to be trained in management and the finance.

But there is one MBA program in India which is considered a player of a world scene is Indian School of Business in Hyberadad. In spite of the fact that this business school is not accredited yet, this one-year program occupies 20th place in the world, according to rating of Financial Times. And this school settles down in one of the most technically grounded cities of Asia. If you are a student from another country, there can be a place for you, and some monetary grant.

Why students from other countries?

ISB School, as well as any other MBA-program, wishes to give to students  international experience in conditions of interaction of various cultures. Last year on a course from 438 students, 4 % were foreigners from Spain,  Great Britain, Canada, Mauritius and Nepal. In the past on the program students from the USA, Pakistan also were trained, Germany and Italy.

ISB recently has increased quantity of grants which the school gives to foreign students. There are two types of grants:
 

Today we still feel consequences of the economic crisis and some destabilization of economy. During crisis many people have lost job, or their salaries were reduced. Each organization tries to cut down expenditure by various ways. Therefore during such time everyone should try to increase the knowledge in professional sphere. But for a working person it is practically impossible to receive, for example, one more higher education by traditional, full-time way. Therefore distance training through the Internet becomes practically ideal for such a worker. It has already ceased to be an interesting novelty and now is considered simply as one more way to receive new knowledge and skills.
 

In the majority of MBA schools  it is very difficult to get in. A competition for places at the best schools is very rigid. On the average, about 15 % of interested persons enter good school, and at some schools this percent is even less. One of the ways to distinguish yourself is  a letter of recommendation.
The first step is to decide whom you will ask to write it. The majority of MBA schools  demands as a minimum one letter from the head of your current place of job. Other letters of recommendation can be written by your former heads, teachers - it depends how long time ago you were graduated, or how much heads you had. These letters should describe your strengths and virtues accurately. It is better to choose people with good feeling of language as badly written letter indirectly influences and impression about you.

The second step is to give to yours recommendators enough time. The majority of people enter some schools so there are many different deadlines. Organise this information for yours recommendator, and give him at least one month of time for letter preparation is will give him a chance to write a good, strong letter.
 

You should include covering letter for MBA in a package of documents for any MBA-program. In many respects, it is your first chance to be presented to people who will make the decision on your entrance. Make their impression about you positive, having made the covering letter for MBA, allocating you of the crowd.


Do each covering letter unique though you  write them many times for different programs. Most likely, these programs have different basic orientations of training. Allocate in each letter key features of each program - it will make your documents more suitable for every program.
