London Business School

London Business School's (LBS) MBA graduates enjoy great access to jobs. As per the report of 2023, around 90 percent of graduates find jobs within three months of completing their MBA. The average salary of LBS MBA graduates is around £99,333 (close to 1.05 crore); and the highest salary crosses the £201,127 (INR 2.13 crore).

Some of the top recruiters from LBS include some of the most sought-after companies: Amazon, Google, McKinsey, Deloitte, and HSBC. These graduates are found across industries like consulting, finance, technology, and consumer goods.

Around 37% of all MBA graduates of LBS have set up their own businesses. With such a well-established global network and strong corporate connections, the school is able to achieve such a high placement rate and qualitative outcomes.

To get into the LBS MIM course, the applicants are required to pay attention to the following:

• Take the GMAT / GRE as soon as possible. The university does not have a minimum score but it recommends students to apply with a GMAT score of 600 or above
• Application essay is really important. This is a chance to show admissions committee what a student's personality is and why one is interested in this course. Make sure to explain career goals clearly and show how LBS fits into the career goals and aspirations.
• The recommendations are also important. So, make sure to get the recommendations from a good previous employer and professor

For MIM, LBS is looking for students who wish to start their career in Business. So, it is good to have some points in profile that reflect your interests in Business. Students can also take part in internships, participate in business-related activities, and have a financial understanding of financial markets. The school is also looking for high-achievers so students must have excelled in academics and / or sports, music, etc.

LBS is mostly renowned for its finance perspective, which makes sense given the London city's centrality to the global finance world. On the other hand, INSEAD has a strong consulting class focus. At LBS, MBA course is 1.5 - 2 years long and at INSEAD, it is 1-year long/ 

Another difference is the number of campuses of both these institutions. INSEAD has two main campuses Fontainebleau, outside of Paris, and Singapore and there are hubs in Abu Dhabi and San Francisco. On the other hand, LBS is centered in London, with a satellite campus in Dubai.

The final decision to choose which campus is better for MBA studies, the choice depends on the students as there can be numerous factors for the decision such as programme length, industry, location, etc.
