Want to know about the work permit post-MBA in Singapore. How much time can we stay in Singapore after MBA, in case we don't get placed during the course?
And what about after getting the job, will the company be applying for a visa for us or the work permit automatically gets extended once you get a job there?
Regards,
Gaurav

top b schools do look at gmat score as it helps them to reduce competition, however if you have a great profile, it more than makes up for the low gmat score.
i believe gmat score of 650 along with a good work ex and leadership gives you decent chance. just make sure you focus on your strengths in the app and make it different to catch the eye of the ad com.
cheers!

you can stay for 3 more months on student visa after your course is finished.
The company will be applying for a work pass for you. Usually its not too hard as a lot of foreign passport holders are working in SG.

I recently took the GMAT and scored 720 in it. I have graduated from BITS-Pilani with B.E.(Hons) in Computer Science. I am currently placed in Sapient Global Markets, Blore. However, my CGPA is really low - 6.34/10. I would be applying for colleged only after 2 years of work experiece, that is, in 2015. I wanted to know if I should be looking at NUS ideally with my score, cgpa and profile.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My profile in Brief:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10th - 94%
12th - 89%
B.E.(Hons) Computer Science - 6.34/10
Thesis - Data Analytics, Supervised by Dean, IIIT Hyderabad.
School Head boy - 2008-2009
Selected for International Student Exchange Program (JENESYS) - 2008
University Footbal Team Captain - 2010-2012
Department head - Department of Sponsorship and marketting - 2010 - 2012
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason I am asking this question is so that i can better prepare my profile depending on your suggestion.
Your answer would be greatly appreciated. My major worry is my CGPA. Would it be a bottle neck for my apllication? How can i off shoot it?
Thank you :)

Keep on performing in your workplace, and try to gain broader business knowledge. Try to achieve something in your hobbies, start a mimicry club or participate in competitions. Keep yourself updated and have an opinion for everything. All the best for NUS
Nikhil: The best way to offshoot is to not mention it unless required. Focus on your achievements. A strong case is required with just two years of work ex, so try to show that you have been enterprising since your school days which adds to your professional experience. All the best
