The picture says it all! Canada is the best place and by far the easiest for any Indian to secure a work permit or a permanent residency. Even the waiting period varies from 6-9 months, much faster than its closest second counterpart, Australia at 12-24 months. To be true permanent residency permits are given to individuals who deserve them. It’s not a right. PR gives the individual the liberty to retain his/her citizenship and at the same time stay legitimately in another country. Getting a PR is not as easy as it sounds! Although, here are some of the countries, where Indians can get PR easily : Belize - Individuals need to spend at least a year in the country without leaving for continuously fourteen days. Ecuador - Individual must have lived in the country for at least 21 months using a temporary Residence visa. Panama - There are multiple ways of getting a PR. Either marrying a citizen from Panama or residing there for 5 years. Notable mentions: Paraguay Uruguay South Africa Dominican Republic Greece Hungary

We bet you knew this! Didn't you? Well, it is no hidden fact that CAT has grown in both shape and size and is often considered one of the toughest exams in India. This has led to its global acceptance as well by many international schools, especially the French! Here is the list of schools that accept CAT scores for some of their programs: HEC Paris EMLYON Business School, France Audencia Business School, France SKEMA Business School, France Stuart School of Business, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA Asian Institute of Management, Manila ESCP Europe Business School, France That said, we always recommend to double-check with the schools about new rules and regulations each time you plan to apply!

This comes as a shocker that CAT is accepted at European Schools too (Eg: HEC Paris) The Common Admission test (CAT) or the Graduate management admission test (GMAT) are the two most sought after exams especially in India. Let’s talk about the basic difference between these two. CAT is a national entrance exam which is conducted by the Indian Institute of Management, whose scores are only applicable to Indian universities and colleges. The scores are valid for 1 year and an applicant can only take CAT once a year. Questions are majorly asked from these four sections : Quantitative aptitude, Verbal ability, Reading comprehension and Data Interpretation & logical reasoning. Now talking about GMAT, it is an international exam which is widely accepted all over the world at almost all b-schools. It is governed by the Graduate management admission council or GMAC. The good thing about a GMAT exam, which is also an advantage, is that the scores are valid for 5 years and applicants can retake them as many times they want throughout the year. Here, questions are majorly asked from these four sections : Quantitative reasoning, Verbal reasoning, Analytical writing assessment and Integrated reasoning. Simply put, if one wants to study management, which is predominantly an MBA in India, one can take the CAT. And if one wants to pursue masters in the management domain abroad, one can take GMAT, although it’s not mandatory depending on the courses in the respective universities. Exceptions: IIMs accept GMAT for Executive MBAs, ISB accepts GMAT for PGP HEC Paris accepts CAT in certain cases too :) But nothing wrong in going with the flow! For India, take CAT. For abroad, GMAT.

Nothing close to CAT/JEE/GaoKao yet let's see! Acceptance Rate is basically number of admitted candidates after all the rounds of selection process out of total number of applications. Thus more the number of applicants, less the number or rate of acceptance. This is why GaoKao in China, and JEE in India are considered toughest. Not primarily because of hardest questions asked in the exams but due to the acceptance rates. Let's have a look at the acceptance rate of top B Schools across the globe: Stanford graduate school of business - 6.1% Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania - 9% MIT Sloan - 14% Harvard Business School - 12% HEC Paris - 8% INSEAD - 7% London Business School - did not disclose Columbia Business School - 11% IE Business School - 12% Haas School of Business (UC Berkeley) - 13.2% Chicago Booth - 22% IESE Business School - 20% Esade Business School - 19% Northwestern (Kellogg) - 9.1% UCLA (Anderson) - 12.3% Oxford (Said) - 20% Cambridge (Judge) - 21% Yale School of Management - 30% NYU Stern - 29% Michigan (Ross) - 35.9% Note: This is subject to vary each year based on number of factors, like applicants, GMAT waivers, Covid 19 fluctuations, number of management programs for example in the US, mainly MBA is offered at B Schools but in Europe there can be a dozen programs like MIM, MSc, MBA etc at the same school.
