The cohort at IIMs and NUS is very different in terms of diversity and experience.

This would depend a lot on your career aspirations & long-term goals.
If you intend to work in India then an MBA from IIMs would be better as it gives better exposure to the internship in Indian companies and the campus placement process helps you in a good placement.

Any one would be good if you can get admission. IIM-Ahmedabad is rated to be the best by many agencies followed by that of Kolkata and then Mumbai. I suggest you to focus on CAT exam and forget about the college. Only the top scorers are able to get into such institutions, so focus more on your preparations rather than the institute itself.
