Dude,
some of your points are valid (not all, i wont get in to it). Just wanted to give you my opinion on it.

I guess we all need to look at ourselves and our society that we live in before making generalized statements about IIM's.

First of all you dont need to be an IIM grad to start a company(there is no rule that says so), so if doing business is your sole aim, might as well look at other avenues aside from getting an MBA. MBA can give you exposure and skills, but what you do with them is totally your call. Also, enterpreneurship is a state of mind and aspirations, which come naturally to a person and no B school can instill that into you(a place like an IIM or ISB can again expose you to options on how to go about it, but if you dont want to walk that path, then why would you look at it). B school is not a place which says that our aim is to make people business men/women, its a place which give you a platform to expose yourself to skills and perspectives which you might have not otherwise seen. What you do with it, is your own call.

Secondly, i think Indians do suffer from the riskless mentality, atleast compared to peers outside of india. And alot of this is to do with our socio economic history(sure we are a developing nation and an emerging economy, but lets get the facts straight we are no USA where you are protected by a social security system if you are jobless, and taking a break from your career or being laid off from your job are not perceived as signs of your incapabilities). I guess to produce more enterpreneurs one needs to change the way we as students look at the world outside and how the world outside(i.e. Industry) looks at us. I am encouraged to see that this trend is now tending towards people respecting what others have done with their time irrespective of success and failure, but we still have a long way to go.

Third, most of us get brought up in a world where its formost to be "well settled" (meaning have a good job in a well known place with a good pay) to be looking up in the society for purposes of respect, lifestyle, perception and ofcourse "Marriage". And for most of us these things are of prime importance and hence the rush to ensure that we achieve all this rather than spend time risking something.

In the end, I think its perceptions and not schools that matter and it is that which needs to be changed for our B schools (not just IIM's) to churn out what is perceived as diversity and value creating in terms of post MBA careers. and when i say diversity i mean enterperneurs, social-non profits and normal good ol' people who take up jobs.

thanks
Nishant

the answer is- Is there a fixed answer?

I think its your own aspirations, you know what are the strengths of each and weak areas of each, you know what each offers and dosnt offer. You decide what you want.

Its like any other choice you make if you are a passive user, there are points to be considered in everything you choose and a single place will not offer you all, so you prioritize and compromise (assuming you are in that position), and make the best decision.

Saket,

Keeping my situation/preferences/perspectives i would prefer ISB, NUS,NTU in the order.I was an aspirant for IIM, 5 years ago when i had passed out my engg college, but with experience and some globe trotting, i realise MBA is more about networking and learning from peers. ISB with 560 students provides the platfrom and so does NUS & NTU( with international students)

IIMS with limited bacth strengthe of 50-80( mainly indians, mainly IT guys) do not give that kind of exposure,which i am looking at. Its more about giving a brand name.

its just my perception, and i speak from Exp, Cos the Guy who i replaced in my current job was an ISb alumnus, wherein i dont have "Branded" degree to boast.

Also lot depends on individuals priorities.

I have rated ISB higher than others because, Hyderabad as a city me perfectly fine( mY wife is an IT proff,she can seek a transfer to HYD),wherein Ahmedabad, lucknow, Calcutta do not suit me.
