I get started

With the parameters clear in my mind i started my investigations. A very good friend at office was my key guide. He had already done a lot of research on B-Schools and so i was able to lay my hands on a lot of ready-to-use material. I narrowed my school scope by leaving out the IIM's ( i mean the PGDBM's) . Doing a 2 year PGDBM was not worthwhile since i had nearly 7 years of work exp. I wanted to really use my professional experience and i was only looking at 1 years courses now.
What was left -
A. From India - IIMA's PGPX & ISB's PGP
B. From Europe - IMD, INSEAD & the London Business School
C. Nothing Else

Note here that i really never considered the US schools since there is really no good 1 year program there. Of course there is Thunderbird & Hult but somehow they were never stable in my RADAR.
I had my task cut out now , I had to get a very good score in the GMAT and i needed to do more research on my target schools to narrow down to the school of my choice.

I explain my GMAT preparation in my next post.
