Is joining HEC Paris MBA a good option for an Indian? Getting a job is definitely a key factor post-MBA. I know it ultimately comes down to individual, but role of career services does play an important role. How respected is HEC outside France?
HEC Paris is one of the top-ranked MBA programs globally, and it’s an excellent option for Indian students. The program has a strong reputation not only in France but across Europe and even globally. Their career services are pretty robust—they offer personalized support, career fairs, networking events, and connections with top recruiters. However, leveraging these resources effectively depends on how proactive you are during the program.
Do you think the global reach of HEC’s alumni network is strong enough to help secure jobs outside of Europe, especially in places like the US or Asia?
Absolutely. HEC Paris has an extensive alumni network spread across industries worldwide. While Europe remains the primary market, many graduates do find roles in the US, Asia, or the Middle East. If you’re clear about your goals and build connections during the program, HEC can definitely open doors for global opportunities. Just keep in mind that language skills, especially French, can be a big plus if you’re targeting roles in Europe.
