My name is Hassan and I have completed my BBA(HONS) from BUITMS (Balochistan University of Information Technology and Management Sciences). To be precise I completed BBA (Hons) this February 2008 with a CGPA of 3.62 / 4 . Now I want to do MBA the reasons for the desire of doing so are the following:
1. Most of the university teachers advised me to do MBA, as according to them despite increasing the duration of BBA from 2 to 4 years still companies / organizations take it as a less appropriate level of education and prefer MBA students for any job openings. But i disagree with it as in my opinion BBA(Hons) and MBA have same course repetition.

2. Many of the friends, seniors and family professionals have said that your last degree counts a lot and so you must get it from abroad and in abroad UK is the best for Management studies and this will help secure a good job.
3. For MBA two institutions are very famous and have a high ranking (LUMS and IBA). As far as LUMS is concerned its very expensive and the total expenditure for MBA comes to ~ Rs.1100000 to 1200000 so i feel that if have to spend this much then why not spend a little more to study abroad which might cost in the range of Rs 1500000 to 1800000 and I feel will provide me an even better opportunity for learning and then of course getting a good job.
And when we talk about IBA I feel that they have a very tough test. This conclusion is based on the fact that the newspaper is littered with adds of preparation for its test ( I have heard news that IBA itself gives adds for admissions in IBA entry test preparation classes. Not confirmed). So if the test is so tough what hope does an average student like me has?
So based on the above reasons which i have mentioned, to the best of my knowledge, I desire that I should go for MBA to UK. I have no university in mind from where I specifically want to do MBA it could be any university provided its good in terms of ranking. Now as far as finance is concerned I don’t have a lot of financial resources but have been told that you are allowed to work some hours while studying and the remuneration is good and can support an individual financially very well. Plus I know universities give scholarships based on academic performance I would certainly try my best to secure them as well. So now the only matter is which university I should apply to? For this and for the procedure which I require to get my self enrolled in any university I need help of pkstudent.com. Also any help and information regarding securing scholarships for foreign university will be very much appreciated.
Any suggestions or comments to make me think any otherwise are most welcome.

Hassan Farooq
