CAT man CAT
If you want to make something big in India go for CAT (IIM -A)
If you want to do something globally go to Harward,stanford ...
If you dont want to do anything go to the local MBA colleges scattered every noke and corner in India ...

depends...if you have a work ex of 4-5 years GMAT...indian b schools are no where near us or european schools...IIMA number 1 in india and 78 in the world....if you re a fresher CAT makes sense....but i think MBA makes sense only after expeirence...

well tyler.. it's not true that Indian b-school are no where near the american or european b-schools.. there are compelling arguments to corroborate that..
1. This same IIM-A didn't even figure in the top 100 list sometime back and now it is ranked 78th. Do you think IIMA improved so much in a year or two? Well the actual reason is visibility and recognition. India is gradually beginning to be visible in the world map and that is THE ONLY reason why the IIMs, inspite of being world-class did not or do not appear in international rankings.
2. The students that come to IIM from other b-schools around the world would vouch that IIMs are no less.
If you have not heard of IIM alumni then visit some IIM sites and you will come to know that they are the who's who of business across the globe.
CAT has surely become a rat race but for good reason. Nothing comes close to it in terms of what it has to offer you so it's but obvious that such a race has set in.
But all said and done, I agree to 1 thing - the maturity of students that come to IIMs are somewhat less than those at the american and european b-schools most of which is explained by the fact that they have less experience and are much younger when they join a b-school in India than abroad.
As far as experience is considered, most foreign b-schools don't accept freshers so as a fresher one doesn't have a choice but to try one's luck in CAT. But placements-wise it doesn't matter much.
I have 3 years of experience as a software engineer in a reputed organisation and am happy to have chosen CAT over GMAT.

i have very well heard of iims sir...from my college every year 40-50 students outta 450 students re making it to iims...i too had cracked the written but failed in GD/PI..  ...thats because i was running in rat race and never knew why i wanted to do mba...now post 3 yrs of corporate expeirence i feel its better to go for mba post some work ex....world wide no college gives admission to freshers(very few exceptions might be there)....the entire exposure is class apart in top us and b schools..for that matter ISB hyderabad is good.....
u very well pointed out that maturitylevel at iims is a bit low because majority of class is fresher....i feel mba is more about networking and practical learning rather than classroom teaching....and in schools where people dont have any corporate experience wat will they share with u??? academically they might be brilliant but in 3 yrs i have learnt that emotional maturity is wat comes to ur rescue in professional world rather than academic brilliance....
rest everyone has his/her own priority and his/her own view.....i respect urs
