Is the ISB in Hyderabad any good for an MBA, or is any university in the USA better?
ISB is not limited to Hyderabad only but has a second campus at Mohali too. Anyways comparing an Indian school with a US school is outright illogical and unjustified. ISB Hyderabad’s ranking speaks of its own worth as it stands in the 27th position in FT Rankings. The Financial Times rankings are one of the highly esteemed rankings and only a few top Indian B Schools have been able to make it there.
Comparison of ISB Hyderabad with the US B Schools cannot be done vaguely and proper parameters should be defined. Going through the FT Rankings might clarify your doubts regarding other B Schools and which one to choose.
ISB Hyderabad is a world-class Indian B School in the sense that it offers the following unique facilities
- The duration of the MBA program is 1 year in contrast to the 2 years duration of the MBA program at other B Schools.
- The institute offers a Global MBA degree in India
- The visiting faculty is top-notch, consisting of big names from foreign universities like Wharton, Harvard, LBS, and Kellogg.
- The placement scenario at ISB Hyderabad is excellent
- The peer group has students from diverse backgrounds
- The institute offers an enriching research culture to research enthusiasts
All these make ISB Hyderabad one of the most coveted B Schools in India.

Which is better for an MBA, IIM Amritsar or IIT Roorkee?
IIT Roorkee is a better option for an MBA. It is not just the IIM tag that one should consider while choosing a business school. There are various factors like the establishment year of an institute, course fee, location, placement scenario, faculty, infrastructure, alumni network, etc. that must be considered during the selection.
IIT Roorkee is a well-established institution with a long history of excellence. Its Department of Management Studies (DoMS) has been functioning since 1998. On the other hand, IIM Amritsar is one of the newer IIMs in India, having been established in 2015.
Here are the MBA placement statistics of both DoMS (IIT Roorkee) and IIM Amritsar for 2023:
| PARTICULARS | (DoMS) IIT ROORKEE | IIM AMRITSAR |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Recruiters | 50+ | 110+ |
| Total number of students | 69 | 212 |
| Highest CTC | INR 25.8 LPA | INR 25.21 LPA |
| Average CTC | INR 16.8 LPA | INR 14.63 LPA |
| Median CTC | INR 18 LPA | INR 13.54 LPA |
| Top Recruiters | Deloitte, EY, Paytm, ICICI Bank, Vedanta, Infosys, etc. | Accenture, Cognizant, Dell, Deloitte, Genpact, and others. |
IIT Roorkee offers good placements, but more than that, it provides a rich academic environment to its students. The students of DoMS don’t just interact with each other, but also with the students of other departments like engineering. This enhances their understanding of things, and helps in the exchange of diverse perspectives.
IIT Roorkee is much older to IIM Amritsar, which is why it offers a rich alumni network and a strong brand name.
Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Amritsar for an MBA.

What are the prospects of doing an MBA in tourism and hospitality from IIM Sirmaur? How would it compare with core MBA courses from other private AA and A grade MBA institutes?
Both the courses give an edge to each other and cannot be compared. MBA T and HM are specialized courses that should be taken only if you are inclined toward the field. It helps you to establish a career and knowledge of the Tourism and Hospitality industry.
The 2-year MBA flagship course has been standing for more than 2 years and therefore its curriculum cannot be compared to that of these recently launched courses. Some perks of these courses are
- Become a part of the legacy.
- Learn how to build everything from scratch by founding or becoming part of clubs and committees.
- International Job opportunities
- Himachal is famous for its tourism because of its beautiful landscapes. The tourism sector of Himachal Pradesh contributes 7% to the state GDP.
- You can contribute to promoting Tourism, increasing its capacities to serve foreigners while remaining settled in your hometown.
So this course is very beneficial for people who have a keen interest in tourism.
Which MBA is better, an online MBA from the University of Bradford for £17000 or a part time MBA (PGP Pro) from ISB, Hyderabad at double the price?
Whenever you are in a dilemma of choosing an MBA program you need to consider 2 very important things.
- MBA does not just mean learning the curriculum, it has a higher picture that includes; the tag attached, the alumni network you get access to, etc
- Another major thing to consider is the cost-benefit analysis. Will the high fees you spend bring back favorable results?
Once you have done this basic analysis, go on and choose an MBA program that suits your needs best.
Your question is regarding an online MBA from the University of Bradford. One thing you need to know is that no matter how good the university is, an online MBA is not as impactful as an offline MBA. The lack of contact hours, peer learning, and the network does not do justice to the MBA program.
ISB Hyderabad on the other hand is a recognized brand and its global rankings are a testament to its worth and brand. ISB is ranked 44th best program in the list of top 100 global MBAs (FT Rankings). Not many MBA programs can match that level let alone online programs.
The most important thing to consider is the cost analysis benefit and the quality of learning rendered by both programs.
What are the chances of selection of my brother in IIM Kozhikode (MBA)with this profile (10-7.2 CGPA, 12-62%, B.Com 55 %, work experience of 2 years, CAT percentile 99.35, OBC NC)?
Interview is an essential part of the selection process of IIM Kozhikode. Your brother has a good CAT score, but he must convince the panel with sincere and good replies.
My brother couldn’t clear the IIMK interview in his first attempt. But in his second try, he cleared it, even though his score had dropped down very slightly from his previous attempt. The reason was that he had given a good interview the second time.
Don’t try to outsmart the panel, and do not appear overconfident and ill prepared. Try to remain calm. The panel likes sincere students who are there to learn, and not the ones who are only interested in campus placements. The candidates who are well read and well informed about their surroundings, outshine the others.
Thus, my only advice to your brother is that he must give his interview with good preparation. By doing so, he’ll increase his chances of selection into IIM Kozhikode.

You will have to put in the required effort to score decent marks. Also, IMT has an excellent brand presence in the industry. The alumni connections can help you a lot in job hunting.

The MBA interviews of top institutes like NITIE, IIM, SP Jain, IIFT, MDI, FMS, and others are tough.
The personal interview round judges your personality and your enthusiasm towards the program you are willing to join. A candidate who has a quizzing hobby can get any question.
Vague questions will be asked to test your quickness and presence of mind. Better and relevant questions get asked if the interviewer is a quizzer himself. The best way to deal with such a question is to drop hints about the area of your expertise.
