For EGMP certification from IIM Bangalore, you must have at least 5 years of experience, and the entire course fee is 6,76,000. The course is designed for working professionals who have not been exposed to many pivotal corporate shifts and want to broaden their managerial skills. The same would apply to an Executive MBA from NMIMS that requires a minimum of 3 years of work experience. Although there is a significant difference between the fees, it should not affect your choice if you’re planning on pursuing executive education. The brand image may not influence the chances of your success in the industry after working for more than 5 years. Still, it could definitely provide you with the right kind of assistance. So, in my opinion, you should go for IIM certification.

IIM is a brand in itself. IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore are prestigious institutes. 

Both are equally good for a Phd in Economics. You may choose either of the two for your higher studies. You can also consider Jamia Millia Islamia for a Phd. A Phd. from this college is also highly valued.

Look into the research interests of the faculty while making a choice. This is the most important factor that you should consider while choosing a college for your Phd. 

Both IIMA and IIMB are a good choice for your higher studies. You must choose between them based on your goals. 

A job is a decision that should be based on the quality of the people you will be working with, which is impossible to determine. Any brand becomes a difficult place to work if your boss or colleagues are not rational and logical in their approach and vice versa. Job is something you can change depending on your desire and aptitude for work.

IIM Bangalore is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and brand. Education always gives wings to ideas, develops risk tolerance, and, most importantly, pushes you toward entrepreneurship. IIM B is a place where you will meet a variety of people who are there only after passing various rounds of selection and filtration and for one purpose, "Redefining themselves" through education, exposure, networking, and, of course, employment opportunities.

Education is a long-term investment that instills faith in you, which gives you hope in difficult times. Women who are educated contribute to a more educated society.

In India, IIM Lucknow is worth far more than ISB, particularly in MNCs and finance/marketing jobs.

The talk of a consulting and network-building pedigree revolves more around their flagship PGPX program and their tentacles in Microsoft and Cisco, both of which recognize the limited role of an MBA in their industry and provide well-defined jumps to ISB graduates back on campus. In the last 2-3 years, IIM Lucknow has done fairly well in global placements, and the sky is the limit for the right student.

It is clear that your decision should be motivated by your prospects of performance at either campus and should be carefully considered. 

It is true that those who can balance pressures and perform consistently have an advantage when it comes to placements on campus. Also, mobility in the industry should matter without the help of your b-school label and should be about your performance on the job in making friends. Students from each campus meet everyone on an equal footing in the industry.

Only if you accepted a different field in your campus placement or were assigned a backroom job will you face unequal pressure, as neither pedigree allows you much mobility.
