How many Indians do you have in your class of 2008?
Combining the classes of 2007 and 2008, we have about 100 Indians. In the whole NUS MBA cohort that just came in, including the part timers, about 40 percent are Indians.
How many applications do you get each year?
In total for this year, until now we have over 2,000 applications on our system. We only take in a certain number of candidates from each particular nation and especially for this year, we are going to be quite stringent about it. So out of the 150 positions, only a certain percentage is going to be Indians.
What is this percentage going to be and why do you come about such a mix?
It’s very much a management decision. I would say that first of all we look at diversity before we look at the student numbers. I think we are putting the number of Indians this year at a cap of 30 percent in the international cohort.
