And, in particular, it's extremely hard for people graduating from unranked 'freshers' MBAs without international accreditation. Of course if you want to study abroad and then return to India there are lots of places to go. Mainland Europe has lots of MSc programmes taught in English which are much less costly than UK degrees. Look at www.mastersportal.eu

shewta Joined: 23 Jun 2012 Posts: 38	mba in construction or real estate management from uk/ireland Mon Aug 20, 2012 08:45 AM i think canada is safest option to invest your money because they are giving post study work permit for 3 years and more over this is open work permit. look you dont have GMAT , so there is no chance of getting FT ranked college.I woud like to suggest search for canadian master program. i am sure you will find a decent course in canada. you are from india so i am going to write in hindi so that you can get it in DESI STLYE dekho agr aap gye UK/IRELAND vha apko koi bda reputed college to ne milne wala, or agr work permit ki bat hai to vo bhi bhot rare case hai kyonke appko course khtm hote hi kisi bhi authorised employer se offer letter chahiye hoga jo ki NON-EU ke liye namumkin hai. yaar UK ja ke paisa lagao ge or vapis india aa jao ge to fayada kya???? it is not a wise decision to invest in dollars and earn in rupees. hope you understand. i am saying this because it happened with one of my friend [Edited by shewta on 20 Aug 2012]

When you talk about quality of education and technology I am sure UK is far better than Canada. And to be honest real estate market is at boom in India, therefore working in India would be more beneficial then working in foreign country at this time, where most of the developed countries are in recession. Main to ye hi advice karoonga ki get a degree from the best university and come back to india immediately and work in India. coz there is a huge potential in India for next 8 years, dont loose this opportunity. And work permit ka kya fayeda agar job na mile to. Mamit

But believe me construction business in India is totally different than in the UK. due to lot of political factors. [Edited by Mamit on 25 Aug 2012]
