So, you're weighing your options between BIMTECH's PGDM in Insurance and Banking and IILM's PGDM in Marketing and Finance. That's a pretty common dilemma!

If you're thinking about eventually working abroad or want some international experience during your MBA, then studying in Canada could be a good move. But keep in mind, it can be quite expensive – around INR 30 lakhs for everything, including tuition, housing, and food. You'd either need to be pretty well-off or have awesome grades to snag some scholarships.

BIMTECH Greater Noida is comparatively more affordable and has a good campus vibe. The education quality is solid, and you'll have plenty of chances to develop your skills. Here’s a quick look at their fees:

Merit students: INR 11,50,000
International students: INR 12,00,000
Corporate-sponsored, NRI, and NRI-sponsored students: INR 17,00,000

Their placements are also decent. For example, in 2020:

Highest domestic salary: INR 18 lakhs per year (Amazon)
Highest international salary: INR 23 lakhs per year (Landmark Inc., Dubai)
Average salary for top 100 students: INR 10.03 lakhs per year
Companies that visited: 100+

BIMTECH also hosts a ton of events to keep you busy throughout the year. Honestly, if you plan to work in India, I don't see a huge advantage in doing an MBA abroad. Just make sure you consider everything before deciding!

Its a Question about your future!
