can u post its link over here.
I have observed a very peculiar thing happening in most B-school forums (apart from that of IIMA). The moment the results are out, a discussion starts around the potential benefits and issues with the associated program. This is a very important discussion and probably the first thing we all should focus on (so thanks really to the guys who are sharing their experience and insight) but the sheet timing makes me nervous!
And having gone through all the threads and outside of PG, it is clear that no B school in India offers a One year program where there is a 100% conformity about future placements and branding. (again IIMA is the exception but that also does not hold a 100% placement record as of the convocation day). Being myself an admit to one (and half) of these programs, I really wonder what could have been different to avoid such a feeling of uncertainty when you are just at the verge of making that big decision!....
@MBA-Husband said:The decision really comes down to Booth vs. ISB. MBA is more about branding than not - and in the long run you will recover whatever money you spend at either of the schools. Booth is a top-tier brand and with all due respect to ISB - it has a long ways to go before it can even enter the discussion with a top tier school from the US. The experience at Booth with be much better. The thing you have to realize though is that you need to be prepared to actually use your booth experience. PM me if you want to chat about it. I live in Chicago and half the MBAs I know are from Booth (and the other half from Kellogg.)
I wish you had post this earlier:), as I would have definitely requested you to get me in touch with some of your Booth MBA friends as I applied there this year, and really wanted to get an admit. But unfortunately, i got dinged :(
@bindas_k I think it always good to stay away from negativity and stay positive.what is important is learning from the course.Placement is an important factor, but not everything about MBA.What is significant is learning and its application.Its even more important that how we conduct our self as stakeholder of our own and Alma matter reputation.In India , there is enough opportunities for talented puys.
hey hii i m 2013 graduate.wanna aaply for ISB 2016 batch ...how to start??
Folks,
May I interject and comment on the topic of placements. I spoke at length to a current student today and as of today almost 500 students are placed. The placement season is supposed to continue till early next month and the main placement weak itself is up till the 24th. I am certain that rest 200-odd students will get placed too in such tough economic conditions. So, please be positive and focus on excelling at ISB and maximizing learning. Everything else will fall in place.
@tushar0504 said:Would need some advice from fellow puys.I have a admit wid ISB hydAlso vanderbilt in USA with 100 % scholarshipChicago booth no scholrship what to choose
If I were you, I would have chosen Chicago Booth without blinking twice.
It is an excellent school and will give you a global insight into the world of management.
So, if finance is not a very big issue, don't think and take the Booth offer!
Even though you might have to take a loan, Booth is the most rewarding offer both in short and long term.
Among these three, I would have taken Booth, Vanderbilt ~= ISB - in this order
All the best!
@KshitijBaldua said:Hi All,I know probably not the best thing to post here... But still it will really help to get your guys point of view on this.I have an admit from ISB Hyderabad and Indiana Kelley.. Kelley gave me a $35Kl scholarship.. so the cost of the entire 2 year program would come to around 50Lakh INR, including living and tuition. Assuming the money is not that big of a factor.. What would you guys suggest I do..All the suggestions and advice are really appreciated guys. Thanks !!
Go for Kelley Kshitij..
Even though it not among the top 10 colleges in the US, it has a pretty solid program and great alumni network.
ISB is great from an Indian perspective - if your goal is to stay and work only in India, take ISB. The total expense comes to 30L which 20L less that what it will cost you in Kelley.
Take Kelley if your aim is to get an excellent global exposure.
My colleague took Kelley over Nanyang Singapore last year and is really happy with her decision.
Copying @tushar0504 here who is in two minds about a US offer(Booth - I wud call it a DREAM school, the creme-de-la-creme of MBA schools).
ISB is good for people who want to understand management from an Indian perspective. The experience that a US MBA can provide is a real life changer. I would highly appreciate constructive discussion on this.
All the best!

@LuckyThirteen said:Finally, i see a semblance of an interesting discussion going on. How does one measure the value of an MBA ? Is it merely by the quantum of post degree placement paycheck? I beg to differ. An MBA is merely a means to an end. One can only realize the true value of an MBA only in the long run - 3 to 6 years down the line. Just as one cannot create a genius overnight, one cannot expect Employers to go gaga over an MBA grad just because the grad has learned a few theoretical subjects in a year. MBA merely acts an accelerator or a magnifying glass. The MBA accelerates/magnifies what you already have. If you didn't have anything substantial in the first place, then there is nothing really to magnify.Let me ask you this. Let's take the case of a IT professional with say 4-5 years of experience. At best this professional would have managed a team of 2-3 people. His/Her international experience would be minimal. His her domain knowledge would be slightly above average. Do we expect a prospective employer to offer this graduate 18 lakhs just because of a 1 year intensive course in a few subjects ? Put yourself in the employer's shoes. Would you ?I am not trying to discourage anyone from pursuing an MBA. Far from it, all i am saying (or at least trying to say ) is that when it comes to an MBA, one should keep a long term view. An MBA is not a sprint, it is a marathon. Focus on your career, the big bucks will follow naturally.
That is a very good view point, and I do agree with most of it. Also how much value increase can a one year course provide.. I think that question is quite relative and depends on lot of variables..
--your position prior to it..
--how good you are when it comes to coping up with all the pressure..
--When put together with your peers to you rise up to their level or rather give up..?
But I agree with @LuckyThirteen .. An MBA is a lambi race ka ghoda... if you think short term... then you probably haven't learnt much from it.. Its a long term investment and the results become more clear say around 5 years post MBA..
