The Common Admission Test (CAT) is among the most competitive management entrance exams in India. Year after year, lakhs of candidates gear up for CAT hoping to secure admissions in Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). However, enrolling for an MBA program in any of the IIMs is a great deal more than just an educational decision. It is also a huge financial as well as career choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But suppose you have a job offering you Rs. 25 LPA (lakhs per annum). Will it be wise of you to quit that lucrative job in order to pursue an MBA from a renowned IIM?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the fact that placement packages in the top IIMs have touched the Rs. 30-40 LPA mark, many working professionals end up in this fix. Although you will be enjoying financial security as well as relevant industry experience through the former, the latter will help you in making good career opportunities and build up your professional contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in 2027, the question will not remain whether an MBA from an IIM fetches you more salary than the existing job. The question will be whether you get better career prospects or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
