IIMs, FMS, TISS, XLRI, and ISB are the top institutes (do not get confused with IBS) I would urge to do a Full Time 2 year MBA / PGDM. Also, only think of studying abroad if you plan to settle there. Would not recommend to go there just to study and then come back. Reply if you have any more questions....happy to help

I hear that 5 years MBA is an ideal experience. Is it really needed? I planning to get into MBA with 3 years only.

@DestinyDecider 3 is okay if you are opting for the two-year MBA. If you are looking at the one-year MBA programs from IIMs/ISB; 5-7 years is the sweet spot.

MBA from tier 1 college is definitely worth it. 3 years is good enough experience to bank on further growth. Also mostly you would end up in a completely different role, so it is a path changing decision. It gives one time and chance to sort of rediscover themselves. Please do go for it. Avoid tier 2 colleges. Its not worth it.

Do a 1 year MBA, 2 Y MBA makes you lose a year of earning and eventually all theories don’t even count in real business problems. IIMA,B,C, ISB should be your top choices in India. INSEAD, LBS, HEC, Kelloggs should be outside india

Be very clear on your motive to pursue MBA. Most of the people pursue MBA for higher pay scale, to escape the current job, to delay marriage, to get a job if they dont get after graduation, to live college life once again or have huge amount of haraam ka paisa so chlo mba kr k thoda use kia jaaye. Life is not all hunky dory post MBA, so be very clear with your motive else you will be disappointed once you face reality.

One year MBA vs Two year MBA

Are there a lot of differences between 1 year and 2 year mba? How is the career growth for 1 year MBA as compared to the 2 year one? Network? Placements? Talking about tier 1 colleges for both. And also, for a GEM, how much experience is too high for 2 year MBA?

Are colleges like ISB worth it or are they just fancy overhyped colleges ?

Just wanted to know if your top B schools in India actually are worth the money you’re ready to shell out or is it something that’s just gold covered ***. Incase of doing an MBA any recommendations at what stage in my career should I go for one and which schools should I apply for ? 👽

Should I go for an MBA?

Should I go for MBA in top 10 b schools india like IIMs, XLRI, SPJAIN, etc So a little background about myself. I graduated in 2023 from a tier college and managed to get an off-campus job in an investment bank as an SDE. My current salary is 24LPA. Would it be beneficial for me to do MBA from the above mentioned colleges Like would the placements there be better than what I have currently? Also if I can save enough money in 2 years would a MBA in US in a top 20 uni be better than MBA in IIM? I will be going for further studies sometime in 2025 or 2026. My main goal is to improve my salary and build a network. I have also managed my own dev agency and did freelance projects in the past 4 years. If anybody has gone through the same please let me know your experience. This also applies to MTech/MS as well Thank you.

Is doing executive MBA from ISB worth it?

I currently hold a SDE position with 2 years of experience, and I've come to the realization that coding isn't my ideal career path. Consequently, I'm contemplating pursuing an MBA primarily to transition into an executive role and have better growth opportunities post-MBA. My current salary is 18 lakhs per annum, while I've observed that the average packages at ISB hover around 35 lakhs per annum. And the fees is around 40-45 lacs. Does it seem reasonable to pursue an MBA? I understand that it might take 3-4 years to break even in terms of costs, but in relation to gaining experience and expanding my professional network, is this a step I should genuinely consider?
