About a little more than a year back was when I decided to go for an MBA... The USD back then cost Rs.55 (which I naively hoped would "get better" by the time I matriculated).. As of today it has crossed Rs.65 and if general consensus is to be believed is wel on its way to 70.... I'm going to be "optimistic" and take for arguments sake that it wont get much worse than that by Fall 2014... Assuming a budget of $150,000 - my budget in INR has increased by about Rs 2.2 million. Would be great to hear how everyone (Indians) is looking at their MBA plans in light of this situation..
