The answer to this question is very subjective as it absolutely depends on the student's budget, goals, and career aspirations as to which institute to choose to study MBA – Yale University or Indian School of Business:

Particulars	Yale University	ISB
Type of university	Private Ivy League	Premier Indian B-school
Duration of the program	2 years	1 years
Rankings – FT MBA 2025	#24	#27
Annual tuition fees	INR 68-70 L	INR 43-45 L
Average GMAT score	720+	710
Post MBA average salary	Above 1.3+ Cr.	INR 30-35 LPA
STEM Designation	Yes	No
Notable Indian alumni	Indra Nooyi	Ankur Warikoo, Rajat Sharma

A few takeaways:

Yale University is good if students want to obtain an international recognition, whereas, ISB is good if students want to study with the Indian market dominance
In the case of the cost, ISB is more cost-effective. The total cost to study from ISB will be around INR 45-50 lakh and the average package could be more than INR 30+ LPA
Yale's graduates work across top firms globally, such as UN, World Bank, etc
