Loaded question. First 1 v 2 yrs. If you are already making 30+l or are very senior and just need to show an MBA go for 1 yr executive. For finance IIM BLACKI >ISB imo. For consulting it's same for both with A and ISB at the top.

I do make that pay. My management doesn't care if I want to do MBA or not though. It's totally upto me. I want to do it, it's primarily to see what these jobs is all about. But, does 2yr MBA make sense if I want to go in Finance, from IIMs?

Also, I have heard that consulting companies only take people from IIMs who were in IITs before that. I come from tier 3 college, does it mean the big 3 are closed for me?

Not sure about the preference to IITians as I have seen lots of people from DU or other good state colleges at MBB.
Not to mention most IITians at MBB are from branches like mech/chemical/textile etc. As CS/ECE guys usually go for tech companies as they pay more, so it shouldn't really matter

First get select in top IIM than ask bro. Getting selected in ISB is easier than in IIM 2 year program because of illogical diversity marks criteria
