Investment Banking

The better the business school, the easier it is to break into the investment banking industry. BUT, its still difficult even if you went to the best school. Most students from top schools who chase the banking dream never get in. There arent enough positions available.
However the best possible way to make a choice would be to focus on previous placement records.
IIM's definitely has a better score in terms of overall placement as well the banking sector.Almost 25-30% placement from the IIM's batch is in the banking sector as compared to a 10-15% from NSU.
So although both would be an ideal choice for MBA but investment banking would be slightly more achievable through IIMs.
