I ll slightly modify the subject, the MBA's may or may not b different as I m yet to experience it but as far as I think, the difference lies in the mantality of students, Indians on one hand want to grap the degrees before starting working and as in US, ppl work first, get to know abt the condition, abt their propspects, increments,etc before studing for an MBA. ISB for example have adopted the US kinda structure.. correct me if i m wrong...
