If you are getting the best B-Schools abroad like Harvard, then it's really great but in India, any IIM is best to study from. All the best.

It depends on the college, which you will get in abroad. Moreover, IIM – A, B, and C is no way less.

Going for the best B-schools abroad like Harvard, Wharton's, INSEAD, Stanford, etc. is a much better decision than pursuing MBA from any of the top Indian B-schools. If not possible, doing MBA from the IIMs or some top non-IIMs will also be a great option.

If you want to pursue MBA abroad, then you need to score good percentile in GMAT. MBA abroad is the best option. If you get admission in IIM-A,B or C, it will be better to pursue MBA in India only.

You have to work hard for both. Without your efforts, you are not going to achieve even a single option from bot. You will either have to prepare for CAT or IELTS, GMAT, etc. but both requires hard work and dedication.
