Have no doubt here: Tuck is a better school than ISB in almost all measures.
The only situation where I feel ISB will trump Tuck is the brand value in Indian market. So if you are 100% sure you want to stay in India, go ISB. If you are 99.99% sure about staying in India, go to Tuck.

I have admits from both ISB and TUCK and I have deposited the acceptance fee with ISB too.I still wanted to make a more calculated choice.

I come from construction background having 4 and Half years in a Contract Manager role with L&T.My post MBA goal is to work in Strategy role in a Real Estate firm and want to stay in India only.Although I believe the real estate sector will open up in a big way in the next decade and getting out for two years might make me miss relevant reforms in this sector.So what do you suggest??

If you are staying in India, and want to use the MBA as a springboard into Indian real estate, the choice to me is quite clear; ISB.
Sure Tuck has ranking prestige, but beyond the hype, an MBA is about career preparation and given your personal goals, i think ISB would serve u better.

good luck

Mohit,

I'd assume you would have already made the decision by now as the ISB class has already commenced.
What did you finally do?

Tuck is the better program as stated above but my question is do you feel you have the contacts and networks to secure employment in RE in India post-MBA or do you feel you need to stay in India to achieve this?
