If you aren’t getting IIM A, B, C, L, or I then you should choose IIFT. Your preference order should be IIM BLACKI > IIFT D > New IIMs + Shillong > IIFT Kolkata > Newest IIMs > IIFT Kakinada. 

Note that IIM I has a huge batch size and the competition will be higher for an average profile. In IIM L, you can get placement into top consulting companies and investment banks only if your past academic record is stellar. 

IIFT Delhi placements are pretty good. For 2022, the average CTC offered to the students was INR 21.08 LPA. 

It is important to make decisions about pursuing a postgraduate degree, such as an MBA, based on long-term goals and not just temporary emotions or the advice of others. It is also helpful to have a clear vision of where you want to be in 10 years, as the specific timing of when you obtain your degree may not be as significant as the institution you attended and whether or not you have achieved your desired career goals. If you are unsure of your long-term goals or what you want from life, it is a sign of maturity to recognize and accept this, as it is not uncommon for most people to discover their path through experiences and self-reflection.

It is worth considering the potential drawbacks of pursuing a PGDM (postgraduate diploma in management) from a new institute such as IIM Nagpur. It may be more difficult for students at new institutes to secure top jobs, especially as fresher. Additionally, students may not have as much flexibility in terms of choosing their preferred industry or profile and may have to accept positions with mass recruiters. In contrast, working for a company like Mu Sigma may provide the opportunity to gain exposure to diverse industries and a deeper understanding of the corporate world, as well as the chance to develop self-awareness through brainstorming sessions and project meetings. This may ultimately help you to determine your desired path, whether it be an MBA or a different field such as financial engineering or customer psychology.

You cannot logically compare US B Schools with ISB Hyderabad considering the difference in the quality of peer ground and overall education.

To give a better understanding, compare the ROI of both the B Schools. ISB Hyderabad MBA fees are around 24-28 Lakhs per year and considering the placement scenario, you cannot get a package of more than 15-18 Lakhs. On the other hand, the average fee of a US B School is around 120-200k Dollars and the salary one can expect from a B School is 120k. The ROI in the latter case is much better.

However, these ROI calculations have overlooked one part. As an International student, you'll need a job with a firm that sponsors h1b visas. This reduces 70% of coveted jobs. Now the hunt for a suitable job is tougher and you have to also hope that you win the h1b lottery. If you are unable to do so you might end up in India with a heavy loan of 80-90k Lakhs with an average salary of 15-20 LPA.

So we can say that US B Schools are always the better option than ISB Hyderabad but the risks involved are tenfold.
