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

I've planned to take the GMAT soon and apply for ISB R1. The opinion of my friends etc has been divided. A lot of people love ISB and the opportunities it provides. A bunch of others are saying it's wannabe IIM and I should apply to IIMs or abroad. I'm 25F with a good work profile, diversity and merit so I don't really want to do a 2 years MBA and def not in IIMs. I'm considering unis abroad but also only the top 1 year programs only. Should I apply for ISB or go for IIMs instead? And are B schools abroad worth it when I want to work in India only?

I need some advice. 1. I am a fresher and am considering giving the CAT exam this year. 2. Currently working as a data science intern and frankly, not enjoying it a bit. I dread debugging. I also feel everyday that AI can easily do 75% of my work. 3. I want some business side roles, thinking I won't have to stare at a screen all day, fixing bugs. What roles can I expect after doing a MBA, is it worth the extra 2 years and the money, and if you are someone who can relate to my situation, what are some of the things you enjoy about your work and some things which you absolutely hate. I might have completely wrong expectations, so please feel free to correct me.

I have an offer from IIM-Kozhikode (EPGP) and ISB (PGPpro). IIM-K is approx 15 lakhs, 2 year-long program. Classes every weekend, but have to attend online at a centre in Bangalore. ISB is approx 30 lakhs, 1.5 year-long long program. Classes alternate between online one week and in-person (Bangalore) one week. No Executive MBA offers placements. I'm doing this for the sake of a higher education, and hopefully securing leadership roles in Big Tech in the longer run. Purely from a ROI standpoint, which college should I choose?

I have heard mixed opinions about ISB/Abroad MBA. People who have done MBA what benefits did you get in MBA college and post that ? Did it help you in getting better job opportunities, better perspective of business, better network?. OTOH I have heard that MBA is an useless degree and not worth the time and money investment. What are some pros and cons. Thanks.

Me: APM with almost 2 years of experience looking to do an MBA to fast track my career. Post-MBA roles: - Product Management - Strategy Roles - Program/Project Management - General Management - Other similar roles Long term goal: To stay in India; fine with working 2-3 years abroad. Query 1: Considering an average profile with 9/8/8 in high school/intermediate/college, tier-1 undergrad and 2 years work-ex at a start-up. Do I have a chance to bag an MBA admit from the following with little scholarship: - LBS - Insead - HEC Paris - Oxford - Cambridge - SDA Bocconi - NUS Singapore - IESE - ISB I'm targeting 1 year programs only for cost purposes, hence the US is out of the picture. Feel free to suggest good 1 yr US programs Query 2: How much GMAT is required for my profile to get into these schools? Query 3: Are 2 year IIM Programs more advisable for me and should I leave abroad colleges altogether. At the maximum, I can't wait more than 3 years of work-ex at the time of applying due to personal reasons. Please guide me🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hey everyone. I have an experience of around 3 years a d currently with my MBA plans. I want do my MBA from Tier 1 college (atleast top 50) because I graduated from Tier 3 college.

Hey there! So, I have a friend who's currently an Associate Project Manager at an MNC. He's been doing the technical thing for 1.10 years and recently moved into the APM role. (YOE:2.5ish) The thing is, while the pay and work-life balance are good, he's not feeling all that jazzed about his work and wants to level up his career. He's got his sights set on a Consultant/Product Manager gig and wants our help to make it happen! Here are a few questions we have, and we'd love to hear your thoughts: 1.Would it be worth it for him to go for an MBA, particularly at ISB, to snag that Consultant/Product Manager role? 2.Are there other ways he could make the transition without having to go back to school? 3.How do Project Manager salaries and work stack up against those of Product Managers? Any insights or tips you could share would be much appreciated. Let's help this dude rock his career!

Very confused and have very less time to finalize

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.
