Hi, MBA from not top B-school: 1. You get a brand name that's going to stick with you for the rest of your life. If you want to change that, you have to go for another MBA later. 2. You may not get a lot of smart people in your batch (they might be good, and this is in no way saying that the entire set is not smart, but we need to accept the fact that not everybody is at the same level) and you might be smarter than a lot of people which doesn't really help when it comes to personal growth. 3. You get a fair job or no job depending on how bad the institute is or how bad the placement scenario is. So the only thing that can help you survive in the industry is your work ethics, attitude, and work performance. 4. People (those who matter / don't matter) start categorizing you in the bracket where you may not want to be categorized. Becoming stable may take longer. The most important thing that people miss out is the fact that industry doesn't reward your past. It rewards your present and embraces you for your future. I've seen so many smart, talented people not able to bring that out when it comes to work (the reasons can be right person for the wrong job). What really matters is whether you let the tag define you for the rest of your life. As long as you don't hate the institute (for example, I hate some of the institutes that are out there. Don't want to take names), you can do your MBA there and still manage to do something with your life. Tags help for sure but they do not define people. If you are good, good things will happen to you some day. Because of the relative definition of what's best, what others define may or may not be right for you. Consider all the factors, and then take a decision.

It all depends on the individual. If you are a working professional and looking for a switch from current industry to altogether a different one likes IT to Finance/Marketing. MBA is a better option and investing 2 years in a tier-2 college is also worth. The thought of a better career prospect with a Post Graduation degree like MBA might be another inspiration. The dream to work in the big firms and MNCs. Lastly, a better salary package might be another reason for MBA. People who decide to do MBA just to get a Post Graduation degree or with the hope of getting a better job usually end up doing a correspondence MBA or from a local college. But is doing MBA from a college with a good brand name is recognized in the corporate world. If you are a fresher and it's your 2nd/3rd try for MBA than tier-2 College is a better option.
