How would you compare a one-year MBA program from SP JAIN with ISB PGP or an IIM B EPGP?

Hello, IIM's are still in the phase of earning a recognition for their 1-year program. I would rank ISB as the top most choice for the same. It is ranked under top 30 colleges for doing MBA from around the world. The program, course structure, faculty and post-MBA placements are excellent in ISB and have been a threat to all major IIM's one year MBA programs. While getting into ISB's one year program is extremely difficult, it is comparatively easy to get into EPGP of IIM B. The second choice would be SP Jain. While ISB is pretty much ahead of SP Jain with respect to the above parameters, SP Jain is slowly catching up with the top colleges around the world. SP Jain is too ranked under top 30 colleges in the world to do an MBA from. If you are really looking for a one year MBA, then please consider ISB and SP Jain as your top choices, and in an extreme case, consider IIM B EPGP.

Compare on the basis three things: 1) Brand (and batchmates) 2) Coursework 3) Placements I am sorry, but I don't have that good idea to choose one.

It depends on your career goals and objectives. ISB PGP is a reputed program with a batch of 800 students providing opportunities for peer to peer learning. This is comparable to IIM-A, B, C PGPM of two years while offering a shorter career break. Almost 8% of the students get international offers with an average package of Rs 18 lakhs in India. If you are looking for a career in technology, pharmaceutical then ISB is a good option. SP Jain's one year program is now gaining popularity and requires choosing the specialization. It is really good if you are sure of the specialization as batch sizes are small and the location of Mumbai offers campus placements by great companies. IIM-B EPGP course is really good and provides an opportunity for peer to peer learning with PGP batch.

The question is quite interesting and would clear some misconceptions. Firstly EPGP is an executive MBA program for people who already have a lot of work experience in the industry. So it cannot be directly compared with PGP programs. If you have considerable work experience then ISB is a good choice along with IIM-B EPGP. ISB is better for people with work experience as there are less entry level jobs available at the time of placements. Go for ISB if you have work experience between 3-5 years. It will be difficult to get in after 8-10 years experience. The people in this bracket should go for IIM-B EPGP. Comparing S.P Jain with ISB and IIM-B, S.P Jain doesn't have brand name as good as ISB or IIM-B but is pretty good and has placements comparable to ISB. So the decision depends on factors like your exam score and your work experience. If you are pretty experienced go for IIM-B. If you are fresher I would suggest IIM-A,B,C. For PGP go to ISB or S.P Jain. All the best.
