Ek aur thing, I saw that ISB Avg sal is 9,05,000 (2004 Domestic) and Avg pre MBA Work ex is 5 yrs. Is it a big deal to shell out 14L and get a MBA from ISB to hike your sal by a lakh or two. Avg Incoming sal at ISB for 2004 was 5,43,245. If the guy had not done MBA and continued working he would have got 6,24,730 (assuming 15% hike) plus the 1 year sal of 6,24,730. Kya bolte ? Is is a good investment, thinking only in terms of sal. What other benefits do you think come packaged with MBA from ISB. I am seriously thinking if I should go for it.[/quote]

Hi Red Combat, Akhil and all the others wanting to do an MBA!

I did mine with work, EMBA....I've been working for 2 1/2 years now....got in after my Grad, thru Campus Recruitments.....

Is an MBA from ISB really worth it ? U end up repaying a freaking amount as ur loan instalment even if u get picked up by the biggies. Agreed the Campus is all state of the art and all but somehow I'm not convinced.....

I'm not saying a distance learning MBA is the best but honestly, it all boils down to your efficiency at the work place, with or without the degree.....having said that I must add, that a qualification on paper makes a helluva difference....

The IIMs are the ideal springboard to get into the best of the Corporate World but after that you are on your own....quite a few of my friends dropped a year and took the CAT again....its a risk but if u r absolutely serious, then its worth it.....obviously, it goes without saying that u must apply to the A and B+ category of B Schools too, just in case.....

Its ones own effort and stamina that makes the real difference not a certificate from Big B school.

IIM A is better Bc'z itz been having the best placements.

But IIMB has the "Buzz" that IIMA lacks

A has good placements coz it has a better pedegogy. theres not much of a difference among the IIMs...they all do a gr8 job...but theres something abt. A that makes it far better than the others.

I have got Friends at Both Places and I have noticed that Bangy's have that

Spunk that Ahdies Lack.

Maybe thatz Coz of the City's Vibrancy.Ahd is surely laidback as compared

to Bang.Also IIMB location(Bang in midle of the city) is a Factor.

Students there are more Outgoing & Fun-Loving

sari for the late reply ...

well being out going and feun loving isnt everything :roll:

Yes I agree,But what I meant is that the Total Environ at Bang is much much

better than what Ahd has to offer.As I told u earlier,the City culture is more

prevalent there,

When The Bangians & Ahdians Meetup,I have always noticed that the

Bangians almost always tease the Ahd guys abt the Environ.

the Ahdians retort that the Work Ethos and Study Environ is much better

in Ahd.

At the End of the day,Ahdians r gonna walk away with Cushy Jobs but I

feel that the 'Attitude' of Bangians is much more ,as I'd Say,Cool.

by **akhilis2cool** » Sat Mar 26, 2005 7:25 pm

yeh , but given a choice neone wld. choose ahd. over Bangalore...I met a person from Bangalore (during the fees contraversy) and he said that only ppl. Ahmedabad had stood firm to its point. the other IIMs followed later...
