Hi, I am currently employed as a Quality Manager in the construction materials industry in the USA with over 10 years experience. I have a Bachelors from India and an M.S. in Industrial Engineering from USA. I am interested in pursuing a 1 year MBA from ISB or IIM A or B and switching to either the operations or management consulting field. Any suggestions on which school would be a better fit for me and what kind of starting salaries I would be able to start at after my MBA? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

In reply to viswa.

HI Viswa, as we shared in the last message that is a point of concern with IIM A – the course is excellent, however the school’s marketing of the course leaves much to be desired. While IIM A is still focused to a large extent on its two-year pre-experience course, ISB wins hands down here and goes to town about its flagship One Year MBA among both recruiters and students – it consequently attracts a larger pool of recruiters. That finally IIM A’s course ranks higher in world rankings and the learning inside is possibly better, may or may not matter when it comes to a placement for you.

Thank You so much For your reply. Recently One of my collegue from my organization completed his PGPX from IIM A ,student of class 2015. He was not placed in any company. He has 8 years of work experience in manufacturing.He told that one year MBA is Good only for IT related guys as the 90% of recuriters in IIM’s are IT companies and for others like Manufacturing , operations may not even get placement .May I know your opinion on this issue please. I am basically a mechanical enigineer working in Automobile sector. Your suggestions and Views are very critical for me in deciding weather to persue this course or not. Fianlly my question is – is one year MBA worthdoing for other than IT guys .if not what are the best options avilable for Manufacturing Guys for entering into management domain. Thank you so much for your valuable time and guidance
