Question
I have my bachelors degree in Computer science and Engineering. Currently working as a Software professional in IT sector in India for the past 18 months. I wish to pursue a MBA in Aviations industry. My GMAT score is 500. Am i eligible to apply? IF yes, then what are the universities that i can look for?

Answer
Hi,

Each university is different, so, unfortunately, you will have to check with each institution about their specific admission requirements...some of the schools that offer the aviation MBA include:

University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, India

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach Florida, USA

Daniel Webster University, Nashua, New Hampshire, USA

Murdoch University, Murdoch, Australia

And, I believe there are several others out there, but, I do not have all of the names here today.  You might do a Google or Yahoo search on the programs listed above to find out their entrance requirements and whether or not a GMAT is required for these schools or if they require some other entrance exam.

Best wishes to you,
