Why it is continuously hard for IIM A, B, C, XLRI to compete with ISB in executive program in spite of it being just 15 years old?
One of my friends at ISB claims that the main reason for ISB Hyderabad to hold the top position in the executive program over the years. It is its core competency rather than just competing with institutes like IIMs and XLRI, who lead in the 2-year MBA and PGDM programs.
The points below provide a brief overview of the success story of ISB Hyderabad.
- ISB Hyderabad has been developing with a work experience of above two years at least.
- Due to the shorter time span of the executive program, it is more popular and in demand.
- In the traditional MBA program, the curriculum is an extension to the undergraduate program, emphasizing mostly classroom learning.
- ISB Hyderabad has somewhat established a cheaper alternative to the so-called American MBA system.
- There are collaborations with companies like Kellogg’s, which helped in fulfilling the demand for a world-class MBA degree.
- They have a lot of contribution in its breaking into the Indian executive MBA program market.
- It has resulted in a program that is half-priced as the American MBA programs.
- The program in ISB is just 11 months, as opposed to the 24 months MBA program from other institutes.
- For fresh graduates, IIMs are always the first priority, which offers a standard 2-years MBA degree. The core competency of IIMs is to train the less experienced students. But, in the last few years, IIMs are getting into the executive programs in MBA, but those are treated under the non-core segment.
Although ISB charges twice as much as IIMs at present times, it has been the first choice for working professionals for the reasons stated above. The core competency of ISB discussed above makes it the clear winner in executive education, which the IIMs and XLRI cannot defeat.
Is Talentedge a good way to take up certificate courses equivalent to an executive MBA from IIM Raipur and XLRI?
The Talentedge platform, created by some of the finest institutions in the country, is an excellent resource for gaining knowledge in the real world through online courses for working executives. To the best of my knowledge, there are both short-term and long-term courses meticulously designed for the executive level in various domains of business acumen.
However, from my observations, most of the programs are from interdisciplinary domains and focus on current business evolutions in order to keep up with the rapidly changing world.
If you are interested in pursuing online certification courses in management and business domains, it would be highly recommended to consider two important platforms: Edx, particularly IIMBx which offers a very synergistic, creative, and practical approach to real-world insights, and SIBM Pune Online Courses. Both of these platforms have a reputation for providing high-quality education and are well-suited for working professionals looking to advance their careers.
Having a 3.5 year experience in EPC Project Management, should one join IIM Nagpur/Vizag or should wait for a year, and go for an Executive MBA?
Before dwelling on the details and explanations, let me give you a simple answer.
- You should go for a 2-year MBA program if you are open to switching domains in the future. One of my friends was in a similar situation with around 4 years of experience in EPC Project Management. After great anticipation, she decided to go for IIM. Visakhapatnam which is a relatively new IIM. But it happened to be one of the best decisions of her life. She realized her inclination toward Finance and ended up with a role in the financial planning department of her company. She says that the MBA program changed her perspective and broadened her career spectrum which would not have been possible if she had taken an Executive program.
- You can go for the Executive program if you want to upscale your career prospects in the same field. Or you want a certificate that can get you a better job at a better company. This is a viable option if you are not open to switching domains and want to stick with your current field.
Now that I have talked about both scenarios let’s clear some misconceptions about the new IIMs. Frankly, they are not yet anywhere near the older IIMs but that does not change the fact that they have been developing at a speeding rate and are bound to do more so in the future. Through various interactions with the alumni, I have inferred that they were glad they joined the new IIM which provided world-class facilities and a breath of fresh air.

What is the average salary package for an executive MBA in global management from IIM Calcutta?
For a professional who has undertaken IIMs' Executive MBA, their salary varies from about INR 18 lakh per annum reaching up to even INR 90 Lakh per annum or more. However, this answer is definite. To determine the average salary package, however, let’s generalize the question. Salary varies from batch to batch. Also, campus salaries are higher than applying on your own. To analyze salaries, you need to break them up into segments. In the 3 to 4-year segment, the average could be around 15 to 18 lakhs. In the 5 to 8, it would go from 15 to 30 and above 8 years it's specific to your experience and fit. All figures I have quoted are CTC.
So an average salary analysis will not help.
