Re: Phd in....
Rather than blame students for being unsuitable MBA candidates I would rather question the motives of University departments. Dont forget that Unis are major businesses these days and they run huge marketing campaigns to fill in their courses, it brings in money for the uni and pay for the staff.
If the students at Queens were not fit for an MBA(as Souv points out and I sure he's honest about it) then I wonder how they got there in the first place. Its a shared responsibility! My definition of a good Uni is one that guides the student in the right direction, its as simple as that.

It may be unfair to single Queens out. The universities have to work with what they get from high schools! Personally, having been a school administrator and teacher, I believe that governments want schools to graduate medicore, unchallenged, non-threatening, and uncritical (though they spout about critical thinking they are scared of "critical theory") fodder for the job market. The job of universities (according to govenment) is to fit them up with the appropriate piece of paper for their chosen profession.
