NTU has a MBA with specializations, including Technology. This link might be useful: www.nbs.ntu.edu.sg/Graduate/Nanyang_MBA/Programme/…

Can you please comment on job prospects and what kind of profiles offered to people with tech. focus. As we know Singapore is banking hub, finance is the hottest specialization. Are the salaries offered to Tech. focusing people is lesser than people with Finance specialization ? There are other good inst. also like SMU, NUS,INSEAD which I would like to consider. Any idea about James cook University. How good is the program and job prospects?

Generally, yes - although this is not always the case. It will depend on the firm and the capacity you're hired in. There are other good inst. also like SMU, NUS,INSEAD which I would like to consider. I'd consider NUS as well - they place almost a third of their graduates in technology companies (where Nanyang places about 13%.) Average starting salaries are comparable as well. Any idea about James cook University. How good is the program and job prospects? I wouldn't even consider this program if you're looking at higher-caliber programs like Nanyang or NUS.

It's better, however, to study in the country where you want to work so you can connect to employment opportunities directly. In the US, INSEAD, NUS and Nanyang alumni tend to end up in management consulting or financial services roles than in banking. High tech firms with bases in Singapore, like Microsoft and HP, also employ many of their alumni in the US.

I don't think I'd put AIT on the same level as the schools being discussed in this thread (NUS, INSEAD, SMU, NTU.) In any case, OP was looking for a program in Singapore and that school's not even accredited.

They have some decent education for underdeveloped countries. They teach fully in English and the faculty has proper credentials. The education is above the country' standard. If you come from East Timor or Laos or BUrma where speaking semifluent English is an asset and many people appreciate highly overseas study then AIT is a good deal. I would consider teaching of the courses there but afraid that I have not much to learn from my colleagues or subordinates
