Which one is better EDHEC Business School with Eiffel scholarship or IIM Calcutta?
As an Indian in Europe, your employment prospects are limited because all students in France anticipate a period of transition between education and work. Alternatively, if you enjoy studying so much, you could pursue a career in academia, where Europe is the best option in the world, and you will begin publishing while completing your Master's degree.
The placements at IIMC are extremely uneven. In Calcutta, you will be stuck in a back office job for giving them a good grade and will regret it for the rest of your life.
IIMB is a well-rounded Finance option with a strong emphasis on placements. If you want to make money from any IIM, consulting placements are plentiful.
Overall, if you can afford to wait a couple of years for OIIT to click, nothing beats a trip to Paris and a one-year Master's at EDHEC for an undergraduate experience. If you have EDHEC, Wall Street will assume you have enough.
