­I wish to pursue a management degree post 2-3 years of work ex. As an MBA degree from a decent institution would require 4-5 years of work experience, I have these 2 options: MiM abroad or an MBA in India. I wish to work and live abroad in the long run. (somewhere in EU probably)

Any suggestions on what I should aim for?

­Hey, anmol8185



Given your aspirations to work and live abroad in Europe, pursuing a MiM could be a more strategic choice. It aligns well with your current experience level, offers a shorter and more cost-effective path to gaining an international qualification, and provides the opportunity to immerse yourself in the European job market. However, if you have a strong preference for established Indian institutions and are willing to invest more time and resources, an MBA could also be a viable option, particularly if you plan to return to India or work in organizations that value that degree highly.

anmol8185 ­- is your work-ex 2 or 3 years, and is it as of today (or as of joining)? All the stats (work-ex/ age) that you see on schools' class profiles are as of the joining date.

While it's true most MBA programs abroad have an average 4-5 years work-ex, candidates with 3-4 years work-ex and a strong profile, GMAT/ GRE score etc. do make it. Some such success stories are here

The decision on MBA vs MiM will depend on multiple factors related to your profile and goals, such as these
