Visvesvaraya Tech University (India)

The article talks about satelite classroom sites but also a new correspondence program. It's not clear if they'll allow non-Indians to enroll. Still, for someone seeking the cheapest MBA this could be a contender and might be worth a few emails/phone calls.

Where DO you find this stuff???

 

I could tell you but then I'd have to make you a Moderator and believe me, you do NOT want to go through those initiation rites.

:sgrin:

 

These two links displayed for me; however, no separate link located for the MBA program:

About VTU

 

I've observed in the past that Indian Universities which allow overseas students to enrol in distance programs generally have a set of fees for non-Indians that is much much higher than the domestic price. I have no idea if that applies here, but you may want to ask...

I was interested to see that Visvesvaraya Tech U. is working on joint programs with an American University. This, from the VTU webpage:

"Dual Degree Program with VCU, USA

With a vision to Two Universities! Two Degrees!! Two Cultures!!!

I'm not surprised that the details are a bit sketchy. Anyone would be well advised to triple check everything before enrolling in any such program.

 

This school (est. 1998) is pretty large. From the Wiki:

"VTU is one of the largest universities in India with 208 colleges affiliated to it with an intake capacity of over 67100 undergraduate students and 12666 postgraduate students."
