Pursue an MiM or an MBA 19 Nov 2025, 07:03

Hi everyone,

I’m confused between pursuing an MiM now vs. continuing work for 2–3 more years and applying for an MBA. I want advice from people who understand the trade-offs.

My background:
  • Top 3 IIT undergrad – top 20%. Just graduated in 2025
  • 100%ile GMAT (Focus Edition)
  • Associate consultant in management consulting (non MBB). Less than 1 year of workex.
  • Entrepreneurial experience in undergrad (received 25k USD grant)
  • 2-3 leadership positions in college
Career goals:
  • Short-term: Consulting / VC to get exposure and understand how businesses succeed
  • Long-term: Launching my own venture in India

My confusion:
  • MBAs (especially US + INSEAD/LBS) seem to be getting more competitive for Indian males.
  • MiM would let me globalize my career sooner, but I worry about ROI and whether I will still need an MBA later.
  • Not sure if I should leverage my profile and build it for MBA or take the MiM route early.

What I want advice on:
  1. For someone with my profile, is MiM worth it or should I wait and build experience for an MBA?
  2. How are MBA outcomes changing for Indian consultants?
  3. Does MiM meaningfully help someone with an IIT + consulting background?
  4. ROI / placement differences in current job markets (esp. Europe/Singapore).
  5. What would you do in my place?
