ISB Network

26 year old. Want to go for cat next year but ambivalent about it. Earning peanuts. Should I attempt cat or go for any online bootcamp like PM school or anything else. Much needed advice.

ISB and IIM blacki provides 1y mba with decent roi and alum network. Now Stoa, Masters Union and Mesa are also challenging the stalwarts with more practical mba focused on specific areas. What's your view on this and how it's going to evolve in near future?

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 ? 👽

Not adding a poll as I am looking for someone to share their experience.

How is ISB managing to substantially increase the avg CTC of its cohorts, year after year.

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?

I've heard lots of conflicting good and bad viewpoints on ISB on Grapevine and otherwise. I want to explore these things more and build a balanced perspective. Good things I've heard:- 1. Average comp is decently high as most of the batch has a decent amount of experience. 2. Professors, their way of teaching and the actual course content is one of the best in India. 3. The network is really strong, easily accessible via many channels and helps alumni land jobs frequently. Bad things I've heard:- 1. Placement comp numbers are heavily inflated. 2. Resume shortlisting in placements is hard because everyone exaggerates a lot and there's no resume vetting. 3. Many people go unplaced. How much of this (good or bad) is true? Any other good or bad points?
