Hi everyone,

I'm looking for universities in South Korea that offer a Master's in International Business or Global Business through GKS, not through GSIS.

Which universities would you recommend, and why?

The 2025 sheet had applicant profiles, interview questions, university choices, results, additional notes, and other useful information contributed by applicants.

I found it really helpful and was wondering if someone has created a similar spreadsheet for the 2026 cycle. If so, could you please share the link?

Thanks in advance!

just saw a newspaper advertisement saying the Hyderabad campus convocation is scheduled for 1st August.

is this legit? we haven't received any official email or notification yet.

did anyone else see this or get any confirmation from the university? or is this just another rumor doing the rounds?

Hi everyone,

I'm considering pursuing a Master's degree in Business (not an MBA) through GKS and wanted to understand the career outcomes, especially from people who have completed similar programs.

Most discussions I come across seem to focus either on MBAs or on people pursuing a master's degree as a pathway to a PhD and academia. My interest, however, is more towards working in the corporate sector after graduation.

For context, I'm looking at programs in areas such as Management, Organizational Behavior, International Business, Strategy, HRM, and related business fields.

My questions are:

1. How common is it for graduates of non-MBA business master's programs to enter corporate roles rather than academia?
2. What kinds of roles do graduates typically get into?
3. Do employers view a Master's in Business differently from an MBA?
4. Are there any specializations that are particularly well-suited for corporate careers, project management, people management, or organizational development?
5. For those who completed a Master's in Business and went into industry, how was your job search experience and career progression?

I'd especially appreciate hearing from people who completed their degrees in South Korea,

THANK YOU.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to ask, does the hostel WiFi at GITAM Deemed to be University restrict OTT or streaming platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, Hotstar, etc.?

Are there any bandwidth limits, blocked sites, or timing restrictions for streaming in the hostels?

Would appreciate hearing from current hostel students. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to ask if anyone in this sub is currently studying an MBA at KAIST especially Indian students who came through the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS).

I’ve mostly seen posts from engineering or tech students, so I was curious whether there are MBA students here, particularly Indians/international students studying through GKS.

Would love to hear about your experience with:

• academics and workload
• class profile and international student presence
• career opportunities/internships
• campus life and networking
• how manageable the MBA is for non-Korean speakers

Feel free to comment or DM if you’re comfortable. Thanks!
