A report has suggested that it is likely that British students considering taking MBA courses in the UK will find it increasingly hard to find loans to cover the cost of their post-graduate studies.

According to a report in the Financial Times, the appeal of MBA courses in the US had recently been increasing among British students, thanks to the weak dollar.

However, the paper has now learnt that the credit crunch has dramatically reduced the number of student loans available for those considering such post-graduate courses.

It pointed to research carried out by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators that showed that 50 lenders have suspended their post-graduate student loan deals.

“The cost of loan repayment is particularly high for students from outside the US who apply for loans from US institutions,” the paper explained.

“This is because credit references are not required and also the lenders find it harder to track down students on graduation if they return to their home countries.”

As a result, a British student looking for a post-graduate student loan in the US can expect to have to pay interest of around seven per cent.

With US MBA courses typically costing around $150,000 (£75,000) to complete, the rising price of loans could put many British students off, even though they know they will be able to secure high-paying jobs after graduation.

AHMEDABAD: If the tax cut, the HRD ministry of the European Union is accepted, the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) is a fee lower than the second edition of management in institutions of Gujarat.

The tax in one of the seven institutes to finance themselves (SFIs) attached Gujarat University, Post-Graduate Management Program offer R 32000 per year, while the number of IIM is proposed Rs 30000

It is true that there is a huge difference between the level of IIMs and SFIs, fees, it is on an equal footing.

With its own entrance, also SFIs - with a capacity of 60 students a lean - the tough, with most of them, poor infrastructure and the faculty. The difference in IIMs and SFIs is not only in infrastructure alone. The behind the same with regard to research projects and industry in the bag.

“As an opportunity, we want to increase our fee structure. Here, we are talking about the IIMs, which are now almost a trademark, and another, in the academic world. Drastic reduction of the fee to the IIMs, as much like the structure of fees level of public institutions like ours, is likely to affect the quality of education negatively, “said the director of the Institute of Business Management Sudhir Nanavati NO.

Moreover, while the monthly salary of an SFIs graduates range from the R 5000 R to 20000, a graduate IIM zero 1 lach over Rs per month.

IFC Director said that another student loans, easily accessible, which should pay for higher education. “A medicine, mechanical engineering, management or one of the students, young graduates emerging from institute Top-tion, it is necessary to take measures in order to pay for his studies, when it comes to winning the content into six figures after the close.

If students do not pay the IIM for the course, and that is not helping, and maintaining the highest standards, they are a similar fate to a student of a regular, “says it.

Several institutions offer should lead to different segments of society, by the director BK School of Business Management Sarla Achuthan. “Both models can coexist education institutions offer high-end for the segments, while the formation of the government to offer the students a simple background,” she explained. Similarly, the SFIs would be an opportunity to present their proposals to the State a fee before the committee at the level of approval after a Supreme Court (SC) directive in this regard. Maybe they have more of leverage IIMs.

“The SC decided that each IFC could increase the fee income and a surplus, and profit nachgebend without greed. Surplus could then be invested to enter the areas of innovation and development at the Institute . This freedom is important for the growth of an institution, “Said Vice-Chancellor Nirma University of Science & Technology NV Vasani.
