From IIMs to Grenoble Ecole de Management: The MBA College Dilemma - Making the Right Choice for my Profile

1

Title: “Choosing the Right MBA College: IIMs vs. Grenoble Ecole de Management”

Query: “I’m in a dilemma after receiving my CAT results, having converted IIM Sirmaur and waitlisted for IIM Kashipur, Goa Institute of Management (MBA in Healthcare Management), and IRMA (MBA in Rural Management). Additionally, I’ve been accepted at Grenoble Ecole de Management, ranked 89th in the world by QS university rankings. With 6 years of work experience, a BBA/LL.B. academic background, and a past role as a Business Development Manager in the Healthcare Industry, I seek advice on which college suits me best. While Indian colleges assure 100% placements, Grenoble Ecole de Management offers international exposure and the freedom to find job opportunities independently. What would be the better decision for my profile? Your insights are appreciated.”
Following is my waitlist status for colleges:
IIM Kashipur MBA SC category #355,
IIM Sambalpur MBA SC category # 534,
IIM Ranchi MBA SC category # 395
Goa Institute of Management (MBA in Healthcare Management) General #69,
IRMA MBA in Rural Management SC category #6.

Goa Institute of management- Banking and finance program or Symbiosis School of banking and Finance, Pune- which is better for a BCOM-MCOM graduate fresher, with a some banking experience and small home grown business owner ?
Since GIM BISF program is niche, are the placements conducted separately for the BISF stream students focussing only on financial profiles or the placements are pooled?

Hi! Can anyone help me choose between KJ Somaiya and SSBF Pune. IT would be really helpful if anyone can help me with the pros and cons of both the colleges. Thank you.
