Hey! So, you're in a pretty sweet spot with offers from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta, plus a waitlist spot at IIM Bangalore. Nice!

Both IIM Calcutta and Ahmedabad are top-notch with huge alumni networks. While they seem similar, some internal factors can make a big difference:

Curriculum : Both have the same base but with slight tweaks.
Batch Profile : This changes every year with new admissions.
Placements : Most top firms visit all three IIMs, but sectoral distribution can vary.

Landing your dream job really boils down to your CV and prep, no matter which IIM you pick. Many folks who've done their MBA at IIMA rave about their learning experience and job prospects, which makes IIM Ahmedabad super appealing.

If you're thinking about waiting for IIM Bangalore, check their past waitlist trends. If the waitlists haven't moved much in previous years, just go for either IIM Calcutta or Ahmedabad without overthinking it!

It's a Question about your future!
