    If I had to choose I would choose IIM-C over ISB. ISB is a great college but it is not as good as IIM-C when it comes to finance. IIM-C is known for specialization in finance. You can check ISB's placement data here - http://www.isb.edu/pgp/careers/placement-trends.
    For IIM C's check the data on the link: https://www.iimcal.ac.in. Even if you want to go for ISB the average work experience required is more than required at IIM-C. So consider all the factors and make a well-informed decision.
    Also, don't forget about the "IIM" tag.
