Which is better Harvard business school or ISB Hyderabad?

There is definitely no comparison between the two. Harvard Business School is definitely better than ISB. When it comes to Global MBA rankings, ISB ranks 98th in the world, and HBS ranks 2nd. You should not really compare B schools as each one of them has something unique to offer and have transitions in their programs.

You will notice that both colleges are quite different on the basis of their campus, program quality as well as syllabus, culture, faculty, employment rate, and fee structure. While Harvard will top everything in this regard, ISB is known to have a good reputation as the top B school in India.

But, if you are planning on getting a job somewhere, my suggestion would be to go to the same college as the job location. Harvard definitely will get you the brand name, but if you are looking at settling in India, you will be well off getting your education from ISB.

Some of my friends have studied at both colleges and the institute has provided some of the finest MBA graduates in the world. They have gone on to perform really well in big organizations and have showcased amazing leadership qualities.

Additionally, you should know that you will have to provide a GMAT or GRE score for admission to either of these places. It is advisable not to give CAT and focus on GMAT instead. Especially if you end up applying to big firms or fortune 500 companies, they will definitely ask you for a GMAT score that will have to be a part of your resume.

Harvard also has a better placement package as compared to ISB. But, the fee structure is quite expensive so you will have to decide if that works for you. You can refer to the college website for more information if you would like. Look at your post-MBA goals and then make a choice.
