The cohort at IIMs and NUS is very different in terms of diversity and experience. IIMs have almost half of their cohorts fresh out of college whereas NUS has most of the participants who have reasonable work experience. Singapore being a finance hub attracts an extraordinary exposure in term of learning which IIMs and most top B-Schools in India cannot. Also, the median CTC that is offered at NUS is way higher than that at IIMs. If we see the course fee, the MBA from NUS costs around 40-50L INR whereas the fee for the full-time MBA from IIM A, B and C costs between Rs 17 to Rs 22 lakhs.

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.
IIMs also have a good international recognition so a lot of MNCs also visit campus for offering students international placements.

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.
