The MBA Tour organizes conferences with the world's top MBA programs. The upcoming events in India this September/October will feature 35 Business Schools from the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia. The events will take place on September 29 in New Delhi; October 1 in Chennai; October 4 in Bangalore; and October 6 in Mumbai.

To assist you in taking full advantage of the MBA Conference, we have provided some helpful tips for you to consider as you participate in the panels and meet with business school representatives. This event is meant to be informative and enjoyable for everyone; we hope these suggestions will help you as you learn more about the different MBA options that exist around the world!

Tip: Confirm the times and location of special sessions and try to attend before they fill up. Having immediate access to admissions directors and alumni can be very helpful in answering your questions, so try not to miss these informative events!

Tip: Try to visit with each of the participating schools at this event. Admissions directors want to meet you and learn more about your MBA interests and goals. The more you know about your options, the easier it will be to make the decision that is best for you!

Tip: Try and do a little advance research on those schools you want to meet the most at the fair. Even if you are unable to learn anything about these programs ahead of time, use your time with the admissions director to ask those questions that you won't find the answers to on the schools' web sites. Examples of questions to ask school representatives include: -

• What is a typical day like for students at your school?

• How accessible are faculty members to students?

• Are there opportunities for students to get involved in research projects with faculty members?

• How active is the Career Services Office in helping students find internships and jobs?

• What sorts of activities exist for the spouses and partners of your current students?

• How active is the alumni network?

• What is your city or town like?

• What makes an applicant to your program successful?
