Not all one-year MBAs deliver equal returns. For ROI in 2025, the better choice depends on experience and target roles.
IIM Bangalore’s EPGP is giving better short-term returns for experienced professionals (10+ years), especially in tech and operations. Roles post-MBA often include product head, strategy lead, or transformation manager, with salaries reaching ₹30–33 LPA. Recruiters like Amazon, Tata Digital, and PwC offer higher positions with clearer jumps in pay.
ISB’s PGP works well for those in the 5–9 year range. It opens doors to consulting and product roles, but salary jumps are usually moderate. The average CTC in 2024 was ₹28–30 LPA, but many roles are mid-level.
In pure ROI terms, IIMB’s EPGP tends to deliver more for seasoned professionals making leadership moves. ISB is better for broader role changes but may take longer to see major financial gains.
