MBA in India or abroad is a common question, and honestly, it depends on your goals, budget, and where you want to work after graduation.
In India, top schools like ISB, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and XLRI offer MBAs that cost between ₹25–40 lakhs. The programs are typically 1–2 years long and include on-campus placements with average salaries ranging from ₹25–35 LPA for top schools. Everything from job offers to interviews is coordinated for you, which takes a lot of stress off the job search.
Abroad, programs like INSEAD, Oxford, Kellogg, or Rotman cost more—₹70 lakhs to over ₹1 crore, including tuition and living—but offer international exposure, better chances of switching industries or locations, and access to global recruiters. However, there's no placement system—you’ll have to network and apply off-campus.
A major deciding factor is whether you want to work in India or abroad after graduation. If your goal is to move abroad long-term, studying in that country often gives you a better shot through post-study work visas.
