Hi,

I'm a foreign national (American) applying to B-schools around India for 2009.
I've received calls from IIM's B and C. (Didn't apply to A because of some strange circumstances surrounding the deadline)

Anyways, I know that I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but I'd like to hear what everyone out there thinks now so that I can develop some intelligent questions to ask in the interview.

I know that B usually comes out a little higher in the rankings, and that Bangalore as a location is more plugged in global business.

But I'm having trouble drawing anything more than superficial distinctions between the two programs.
So I'm asking for your help.

My goals: I'd like to focus on operations management and logistics and then go into consulting (possibly manufacturing).

Tell me what you think would be the best choice and why (curriculum, faculty, teaching methods, programs, networking, placements, facilities etc.) Also if anyone thinks I'd be better off at FMS, IIM-L, or any place else I'd like to hear that opinion too.

Finally, I'll be in Delhi for most of the month of March. If anybody would be willing to meet up and offer some advice in person I'd be interested in that as well. (message me)

Thanks,
Derek
