Pls don’t believe in reports posted by B-schools. There is a lot of tweaking on that data.

If a student gets multiple offers. All offers are counted.
They don’t show the number of students not placed(it will probably be mentioned as “opted out of placements”.
Offers will be calculated with all joining perks and max allowed variable.
Convert international placement compensation to INR.

B-schools do it to get traction otherwise “fees kaun dega”??

P.S. : passed out from one of the top 10 MBA colleges and have seen this in motion.

It’s best to get the number from someone whom you know personally or via friend of friends.

Believe me, mein bhi paiso ke picche bhaga tha… doesn’t work out… 9 of my batchmates didn’t get placed. They didn’t opt out..

Damn. And how are they planning to payback the 50L edu loan after not getting placed from ISB?

They eventually got a job after passing out but didn’t get the “flashy” packages.

IMO, you should only do a MBA if you’re looking at total role change and aren’t able to do so otherwise. And also select colleges based on what function you would want to specialise in and would be a great Fitment for your skills.

I love that a lot of foreign institutions ask for min 5 years of work-ex to be considered before applying.

ISB is a lot more than just a placement school.

If you are interested in education even a wee bit, they have literally the best professors you'll find in India. Even if you're coming from Ace top 5 undergrad colleges in India, you'll still find a remarkable difference there. I would happily get up for the 8am lecture to get Gyan from such interesting profs.

Peer group is pretty amazing. You'll find all sorts of people there and you can easily find your tribe.

Placements are decent, my guess is you should get something between 25-30lpa base for most jobs. There can be outliers for sure.

I graduated from there a few years back. It's a fun experience. It's the closest to a global experience you can get in India.

The most active you'll find in any college in India. At some point it starts feeling like a high school lol but it's fun

No one leaves an IIM ABC for ISB
Recruiters know this
So ISB caters to more experience folks, who already have high salaries coming in.
This helps the myth of ISB salaries are good.

I thought both caters to different type of audiences....ABC is more for <2 years experienced folks and ISB for >3-4 years of experience

ISB has progressively lowered its minimum experience requirement for the PGP. And IIMs ABC have up to 30-40% of people with > 2 years of experience.
Beyond 3-4 years of experience, it's a toss up whether one wants to go for a 2 year or a 1 year programme.
I agree with the assertion that hardly anyone gives up an ABC admit for ISB. Those who claim to have done so would most likely have received an admit to the 1 year Exec MBAs (which are comparable to the ISB 1 year programme) or other programmes like Agribusiness or Sustainability.
