For a 3 year experienced female professional, which is a better suited option for me- 1 year program at ISB or 2 years PGP program at IIM Bangalore?

According to the profile you mentioned, there is no specific edge that you will have in either of the two institutes, IIM Bangalore and ISB Hyderabad.

• Usually, there is huge academic pressure in IIM Bangalore. IIM B also has a better peer group, so you will face more competition at the institute. But, it is up to you how you will handle the pressure.
• In terms of choices offered in placement, IIM Bangalore offers a much wider span of choices after the degree. IIM students get the chance to change industries and try on different roles in the industry too.
• The 1-year executive program offered by ISB Hyderabad will be somewhat more sensitive for you, taking seniority into account. But, ISB placements are somewhat lateral in nature. Also, ISB usually offers better roles to seniors with work experience of 5 years or more.

Both IIM Bangalore and ISB Hyderabad have their own advantages, which are not that dependent on the factors mentioned in the question. So, both are excellent options and you can choose either of them based on the factors listed above.
