I want to move into consulting after Executive MBA. Which is better between IIM Ahmedabad PGPX and IIM Bangalore EPGP?

Well for consulting roles IIM Ahmedabad has a slight edge over IIM Banglore.As per the official placement reports, IIMA PGPX places a larger share of its class into top consulting firms like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, and Accenture. In recent years, 25–30% of the PGPX batch moved into consulting.

IIM Bangalore’s EPGP also sees good consulting placements, but the share is slightly smaller. Around 15–20% of the class gets placed in consulting, with firms like Deloitte, EY, and PwC being common recruiters. The overall package is comparable, but IIMA has stronger historical ties with MBB firms.

Class size and peer profile are other factors. IIMA PGPX has a larger batch and attracts professionals with stronger domain experience, which can help you in case-based learning and networking. Both programs last one year and require a valid GMAT or GRE score, with IIMA preferring a slightly higher average GMAT (700+).

Both are strong programs but your final choice can also depend on your location, fit with faculty, and career support preferences.
