Would you rather: Dream college with average placements OR decent college with a ₹20L package?

Let's put this classic B-school dilemma to the test:

Option A: Getting into your dream brand-name college (top tier alumni network, campus prestige, lifelong tag), but graduating into an unpredictable market with average median placement packages (~₹14–15 LPA).

Option B: Joining a decent Tier-2 / upper-mid institute with less hype, but walking out with a confirmed ₹20 LPA+ package in hand on Day 1.

Does the pedigree and network of a top-tier brand pay dividends over a 20-year career, or does early cash flow and high starting CTC trump the college tag?

Which one are you taking and why?
