Maybe

Seen a lot of admits to IIMs + ISB

And to other foreign Bschools. I’m sure there is enough decision making that will happen

I doubt if anyone will choose IIM over ISB.

Abroad colleges can be bigger factor

Yes, I think almost everyone will prefer ISB over IIM except if the fees for IIM is significantly lower

But US schools might sway them

Actually Many with higher work ex will choose IIM 1 year programs.

Many senior candidates don’t want to study with such diverse cohort and end up rejecting ISB offers

Your US program is 2 years. You will probably get out after that so i think it should not be a problem

Agree with Rish

2023 batch will graduate by 2024/2025, so the recession will probably get over by then.

Hence this would be the right time to join a B School instead of being in the job market.
