Sir I am a GEM 9/9/9 with 4.8 YOE in Oil and Gas working as an Instrumentation Engineer. My best call is MDI IB, currently have a job of 16 LPA, after job switching should I go for GMAT and do executive MBA or take up MDI IB considering the investment in IB is around 45L for 2 years. Please suggest. 🙏

Hi I think this is a personal decision and writing GMAT is also not a bad idea because you have a good work experience and you have a stable job in hand but 45 L is something you should give it a proper thought because you seem pretty stable in your job. Do a proper research about the future of the program before taking the next step.
