Indian candidate: Best schools for PE in US and Europe
Hi everyone,
My brother is applying to b-school within the next 2 years.
His profile:
Bachelor of Engineering (mechanical) from a top 20 college in India.
Investment banking analyst - India - for 1 year - 2 deals under his belt
Private Equity analyst, promoted to senior analyst - Indonesia/Malaysia - 2 years and counting - 1 deal under his belt
Started an online company in college that went bust - no revenues or anything
Average extra curriculars, average academics
Goal: to continue working in PE at a higher level (for which an MBA is required)
Could you please tell me:
1. What colleges should he apply to as an Indian wanting to work in PE within the US/EU?
2. How should he deal with his above average academic background?
3. Is PE hiring students that need a Visa sponsorship? If so, can you give me an idea of which ones?
4. What should my brother do from now till he applies (within next 2 years) to strengthen his candidature?
By top 20 engineering school do you mean an IIT? IITitans generally are taken very seriously and a simple LinkedIn search/group should put a network rivaling (perhaps beating) Ivy League schools. Would be wise for him to reach out and ask around about what to do with his background.
Thanks for your response --- it's not an IIT.
here's a good guess: PES Institute of Technology
Hi jec,
Its actually a National Institute of Technology ... could you let me know what schools are considered PE schools besides Harvard/Stanford?
I don't really have an opinion on this as I'm still pre-MBA, but I'm guessing that any of the M7 especially H/S and Wharton will place relatively well into pe.
