MBA has become one of the booming areas and the driver for the success of any type of business in India..Its very important role in determining the growth and development of the individual, business users, executives, start-ups and other big organizations.

Anand: Great article. I’d just add mention of the time axis: as an MIT Sloan MBA (2011), my sense is that directionally, future batches will have much a tougher time selling the incremental value of their US experience.

@adanieI fully agree that the learning is imp. However how will people in the US/EU know how good the IIMs are i.e. are they of the same standard as the MBA degrees from their B-Schools? Many jobs explicitly mention that they want degree holders.Also I believe many IIM PGDM alumni have got additional MBA degrees from top foreign B-Schools. One striking example is Indira Nooyi (IIM-C and then MBA from Yale SOM).

I would encourage an IIM grad to comment on the points you have made Rahul – particularly 1, 2 and 3. Regarding what the degree is called (whether an MBA or a diploma) I personally don’t think is as important as what you learn during the program and the quality of the network you build for future career.

Nice posts However I would like to point out:1)Local Network : ISB has a much smaller network than the IIMs. Also is there networking among the different IIMs? Or do the IIMs have their own separate alumni bases. For eg : a) IIMs all have different alumni associations, organizing different events b)Rashmi Bansal wrote "Stay Hungry Stay Foolish" which revolved just around IIM-A entrepreneurs. Had there been more networking, she’d have written it to include all the IIMs.Certainly there are better achievers from the other IIMs than some of the 25 IIM-A entrepreneurs she has covered.2)Diversity : Almost all the top IIMs have 90%+ engineers/science grads.Very very few lawyers/commerce/arts/doctors etc. This is all thanks to the unnecessarily high quant skills required to crack the CAT.Also hardly any foreign students.3)Quality of professors : Top foreign B-Schools (and also ISB) have far better quality of faculty than IIMs. Upon checking the faculty member’s profiles at IIMs, we don’t find faculty members who themselves performed well as students(i.e. did 1st degree from an IIT or PGDM from a top IIM or did an MBA from a top foreign B-School). Probably work culture and compensation are to blame.4)Foreign B-Schools give a fully accredited Masters degree. Whereas the IIMs and ISB give a diploma or certificate. We in India may praise these institutes but are their non-degree qualifications valid all over EU and USA?Please do comment.
