Hi folks, I need some guidance here.

I'll be pursuing my MBA this year, and have converted XLRI Delhi, MDI and IIM Shillong.

Which institute would be suitable for a career in strategy consulting?

I'm inclined towards MDI because of it's well established brand and alum network.

XLRI is an amazing brand, however Delhi is a new campus and I don't want to take such a huge risk.

Fees is also a factor for me, XLRI's fees crosses the 30L, which other two cost around 24L.

I'm surprised why you have not given a thought for IIM S. IIM is a bigger brand in long run. Even newer iims are fast catching up with established non-iim bschools. Afaik, MBB and other consulting firms hire in decent numbers from iim s. Mdi is better known for marketing roles, imo. Location is also great. You'd have an awesome campus life there. Rest is your decision. Best of luck!

True, Shillong is top notch. But I've heard from students there that Shillong is amazing for finance, but not for GenMan or Consulting.

Consulting roles are limited. Bain visits campus for its back office roles (BCN) and offers <20LPA.

This made me think twice about Shillong.

Looking at three I feel MDI gurgaon to be a better choice. Their alum network is really strong and has a good brand name and is highly recognised. I would still ask you to talk to their alums to get better clarity.
