How would you compare MBA offers in Europe vs those in India? Which will be a better option in terms of career progression? Consider INSEAD vs IIM-Bangalore / EDHEC vs SPJIMR etc.

When comparing MBA offers in Europe and India, you should consider the business school’s repute, international exposure, professional advancement, cost, and location. INSEAD is a top-10 business school with unrivaled international exposure. It is far more esteemed than the IIMs and should be the first MBA choice if cost and living expenses are not an issue.

However, it is generally advisable to study for an MBA in the place where one wants to work or settle. If someone wants to work or settle in Europe, then doing an MBA from a top European business school is recommended. On the other hand, if someone is interested in working in India and the cost is an issue, then IIM Bangalore (IIM-B) is a great option. IIM-B offers easy loans and scholarships and is recognized by almost all top recruiters in India. Therefore, IIM-B is a good choice for Indian students who want to pursue an MBA.

SPJIMR is also a good option, but if someone wants to start a business in India and their primary client base is local, then IIM-B is a much better option than INSEAD.
