studied at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore

IIM Bangalore's Executive Education Programs are highly valued in the job market. The main purpose of these programs is to help professionals upgrade their skills and knowledge in their respective fields. Professionals pursuing their courses are considered committed to their professions. These programs have great value in the areas of management and leadership, and help professionals advance their careers and increase their earning potential. Moreover, the reputation of IIM Bangalore as a leading institution in the field of management education also adds to the perceived value of its Executive Education Programs.

Here is how an IIMB Executive Education program helps you provide the best job opportunities 

  • Prestige: Executive Education programs are highly competitive and thus speak of your credibility and worth through your resume.
  • Networking: An Executive program enables you to interact with accomplished professionals in your industry, both as classmates and course instructors or speakers. 
  • New skills: The Executive Development Program imports the skills necessary for better roles and responsibilities.

Lastly, I would like to comment that these Executive programs have certain eligibility criteria based on your managerial level, years of experience, and specific functional knowledge and it’s not justified to call them unscreened programs.

How is the ePGPx program of IIM Rohtak? Is it better to go for EFPM than ePGPx from IIM Rohtak?

SG
Smarajit Ghosh Posted On : August 5th, 2021
Studied at IIM Rohtak (2019)

The ePGPx program is a 1-year diploma program from IIM Rohtak, not to be confused with MBA or other executive programs. It is an intense course where you need to have at least 100 contact hours (20 days) on the campus and the remaining is online.

The course curriculum is quite rigorous and does not make you feel like it's an executive one as the modules and professors are the same with a blended approach of both offline and online classes.

One of my friends is about to complete this course at IIM Rohtak and here’s what he has to say:

  • You will be amidst the challenging campus modules that give you the feel of IIMs and real-world management culture.
  • You will get eminent professors that are hands-on and drive the curiosity of thought.
  • You can enjoy the huge and lush new campus (largely being constructed) with good hostels if you get a chance to stay.
  • ePGPx emphasizes first-hand learning of general management concepts making it absolutely helpful for you to enter and survive in the corporate world.
  • The current fee structure and flexibility of classes from anywhere in contrast to other IIMs make it a great choice for many people who live far away.
  • Unfortunately, if campus placements are your priority, the course doesn’t provide it yet.

All in all, ePGPx at IIM Rohtak is quite a comprehensive learning experience. Since it’s the only IIM in the NCR region growing at a fast pace, it’s a good idea to be a part of the campus. However, the major downside lies with the fact that they don’t provide placement for this course, hence, choose wisely.

Which one should I opt for: PGDCM from IIM Calcutta or PGPM from IIM Lucknow?

SZ
Saba Zafar Posted On : November 29th, 2022
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra,India

If we compare PGDCM and PGDM at IIM Calcutta, we see that both the courses have the same networking, placements and even infrastructure. 

Now if you compare both the IIMs, IIMC and IIML, there is hardly any difference in the curriculum or even placements. So deciding which IIM to go for depends on your own preferences.

But if you are planning to quit IT then I suggest going for the full-fledged MBA course from IIM Lucknow rather than a system at IIM Calcutta. 

IIM Lucknow will offer excellent exposure and placements and you will end up getting an above average salary package for consulting.

With an experince of 7 years in IT as a Developer and 25 LPA CTC, is it worth to persue executive MBA from indian B-school with respect to ROI and duration? which B-school in india should i target?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : May 24th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

One-year MBA (Executive) programs in India such as at IIMs or ISB have a number of graduates each year who move functions or industries each year. For instance, the ISB 2020 batch witnessed 65% of students shifting both industry and function. Many students enter with similar salary brackets and come out with a 50–100% hike. 

Executive MBAs are quite competitive and enjoy international recognition and ranking. Their increasing demand stems from the fact that they offer better ROI and are a quick way to the corporate world. In India, a one-year MBA program is most suitable for those with a work experience of more than 5 years who handled the management profile.

Another major point to consider is that your decision of going for an MBA for an industry or role change shouldn’t depend upon the current salary but on the experience you have. This is because during the placement drives of top B-schools like IIMs, the number of jobs requiring 8+ years is comparatively lower than other experience ranges. So there are more opportunities to grow in the same domain or shift industries but continue within the same domain. But if you have experience of around 5 years, then it would be easier to change roles/domains since the firms would expect a fast learning attitude from you.

Here are a few B-Schools you might consider for Executive MBA in India

Institute

Fees

Salary

IIM Ahmedabad 

INR 731.50 Lakh

INR 36.26 Lakh

IIM Calcutta 

INR 31.00 Lakh

INR 30.41 Lakh

FMS Delhi 

INR 2.00 Lakh

INR 30 LPA 

IIM Indore

INR 22.12 Lakh

INR 23.60 Lakh

IM Kozhikode

INR 3.5 Lakh

On a final note, I would like to comment that “Investment in Education always ends up giving the best returns in the long run.”

Is it worth doing PGPMWE (Executive MBA) from IIM Raipur? How is it going to benefit someone who has 8-10 years of experience in a government bank?

YJ
Yogesh Jindal Posted On : January 20th, 2023
PGP from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (Graduated 2019)

I am unaware of your background and aspirations so I will try to answer your question generally. 

The Executive MBA program is designed in e-learning mode to facilitate Working Executives. It is indeed a good option who want to avail earn and learn at the same time. Some highlights of the program are

  • The IIM brand name 
  • You can continue your job alongside your MBA program which ensures a good ROI
  • The learning imparted through this program helps you climb the ladder in your own organization or look for a better job outside it.
  • Since you already have 10 years of experience, a full-time MBA program will be risky and offer very little placement opportunities.

So to end the discussion, I deem you to go for an Executive MBA and strive for excellence.

Which college should I choose having 38 months of work experience in a non-IT field, Great Lakes PGPM or NMIMS Mumbai campus?

AB
Advaith Bhaskar Posted On : June 6th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

You can choose Great Lakes if you would like to switch industries and finish your MBA in one year. If you don't want to change industries and have two years to spare for an MBA, NMIMS is the better option.

The cost is nearly the same, however attending NMIMS takes a year more, so you have to consider the opportunity cost as well.

Regarding exposure and industry interaction, NMIMS is better. You should make a decision keeping in mind all these points and your personal considerations.

Studied at Great Lakes Institute of Management (India)

There is no specific weightage for the essay in the Great Lakes Chennai PGPM process. However, it is generally considered to be an important part of the application process as it allows the admissions committee to gain a better understanding of the candidate's qualifications and goals. 

Great Lakes focuses on the overall profile of the candidates and these essays are a good mode of evaluation of the candidate's skills. Your goals and passions can be written in a lucid manner that convinces the recruiter to select you.

So, I will recommend you focus on submitting a well-written, clear, and concise essay that effectively communicates your qualifications and goals.
