Hi

There is a world of difference between an MBA / PGDM from an IIM and top 10 or 12 management institutes and just any other B School.

Though, there is no straight forward answer to your query, one thing is sure, if you have a job and have the willingness to fight another year for CAT, you should wait. Because, most people do not do more than one MBA in their lifetime and being stuck with a second grade MBA is not really fun.

However, if there are other compulsions to pursue an MBA immediately, be careful about the B school that you join - do as thorough an investigation as possible.

Best wishes
