Main question is whether IITs are considered silver or Gold. Can you answer that please?

[@saranyaananthakrishnan7752]

Can you also talk about HEC?

To what extent does an iit degree affect ones chances.

[@ujwalmurudi59]

It only makes you jealous

Does having a MBA from your home country hurt the chances of getting into an ivy for another MBA ?

[@amostofi1999]

It does unfortunately, unless you can provide a solid explanation as to why are you getting another MBA. There are others like you, so I think you can get more info if you search the internet.

A lot of ppl from iims and other tier 1 mba schools in india do another mba in US...I've seen a lot of profiles of ppl from iims(abc), sp Jain, nmims who my done a 2nd mba in harvard, stanford, wharton, MIT Sloane etc
