How does Rotman compare with IIMs and ISB?
Hi,
ISB's PGP and IIMA's PGP are very well known business programs. I can safely say that it makes no difference really that ISB or IIM offers a certificate instead of a diploma or degree. Simply graduating from ISB or IIM opens up a lot of doors in the Indian job market.
Compared to ISB and IIM, Rotman does not have the same level of Brand recall in India. So, if you plan to come back at least immediate (1-2 years) after completing your MBA at Rotman, I wouldn't recommend it.
If you plan to settle in Canada, Rotman does stand as one of the best in Canada and is a clear winner.
Going from Canada to US will be an uphill battle and will not be easy like bb said.
Both colleges feed almost 25 to 30% of their class into consulting.
Personally don't think either college is at a stage where they are recognized well in the US market... Too many of the best MBA programs in the world are in the US.
Ultimately, it comes down India vs Canada and where you want to spend your life after the program because both programs are among the best in their respective demographs.
Hope it helps.
