What are the best one year full-time executive MBA courses in India? Can anyone who has done the IPMX course at IIM Lucknow share their experience?
There are mainly 3 MBA programs in India:
- Two Year Program in Management- Aimed at people with less than 2 years of experience
- One Year Program in Management- Aimed at people with 2-15 years of experience
- Part Time Program in Management- Aimed at working professionals
Before we dwell on the best one-year full-time executive MBA courses in India, let’s understand what exactly a one year program is.
The 1-year-program gained fame in India after the success of ISB in the early 2000s. IIMs and other institutes initiated the same and have been offering the 1-year program since late 2000s. This program mainly offers high-quality education for experienced professionals. Some best programs offered in India are
- ISB- PGP (Post Graduate Program)
- IIM Ahmedabad- PGPX (Post Graduate Program for Executives)
- IIM Bangalore- EPGP (Executive Post Graduate Program)
- IIM Kolkata- PGPeX (Post Graduate Program for Executives)
- IIM Lucknow- IPMX (International Program in Management for Executives)
The admissions happen on the basis of GMAT, Essays, and Interviews. It is primarily meant for people with several years of experience but who want to upgrade their managerial skills.
The best part is that the 1-year-program is equivalent to an MBA internationally. Infact, major international rankings such as Financial Times consider the 1-year program. So the 1-year program at the top B-Schools in India will give you a similar experience academically.
As far as the IPMX course is concerned, it is not an Executive MBA.
Is IMT Ghaziabad good college for executive MBA?
IMT Ghaziabad offers a good executive MBA program. The course curriculum is rich and industry relevant. You will learn through real-time industry case studies. IMT management faculty is one of the best in the country. The institute helps students leverage their experience to elevate in industry. As a student of the course, you will get good exposure and networking opportunities.
How good is the IIM Ahmedabad PGPX 1-year full-time program?
If your current package is less than 15 LPA, pursuing PGPX 1-year full-time program at IIM Ahmedabad is good. You should look at international colleges if your current package exceeds 15 LPA. You should always do your MBA and find a job outside of India. India is simply the world's back office. It is different if you want to be an IAS officer, but Indian corporate is slavery and junk. Working here for an extended period of time will undoubtedly turn you into a lunatic.
One week of college life is enough to demonstrate the quality of American education. The tasks are out of this world. Americans are among the world's smartest and most innovative people. As a last resort, continue your education in India. Even if you have more than 5 years of work experience, IIM A/ISB will only hire you in one of India's back offices.
Is it mandatory to reside at the IIM Bangalore hostel if one gets admitted for the PGPM course?
Yes, if you enroll in the PGPM program, you must reside in a hostel for the first year; you can choose to live off campus in the second year, but no one does.
It is truly beneficial that one must live in a hostel; otherwise, it is extremely difficult to complete all of the submissions and work in groups. Group project meetings are usually held at 11 p.m. or later, around midnight, making it difficult to attend if you are not on campus.
Furthermore, because subscriptions for these resources are validated using IP addresses, you will be unable to use them outside of the IIM campus.
However, the amazing part is that the campus is so beautiful that once you start staying there, you will despise the idea of staying anywhere else.
What is the selection procedure like for EPGP at IIM Bangalore?
The screening or selection process for EPGP at IIM Bangalore for applications in which they evaluate your application, GMAT scores, academics, career progression, career/extracurricular achievements, diversity, and knowledge that you can bring to class.
If you pass this, you will be invited for a face-to-face or Skype interview with a panel consisting of someone from the program office and alums who will check if you have the right credentials and expectations from and about the program.
How is the PGDM executive (fulltime) course of IMT Ghaziabad? How are the placements? How is it compared to IIM Shillong and SPJAIN PGPM?
An executive course is a one-year MBA degree for working professionals, whereas a full-time PGDM is for two regular years, like all other MBA degrees. The executive course at IMT Ghaziabad is quite good. They have concise and to-the-point courses and complete almost the whole two-year program in one year. Placements for executive students may not be as many, as most of them are already working, but they do help in placements for other students.
If you choose to pursue a correspondence course, it does not matter as much where you pursue it.
IIM Shillong, being an IIM, has its own prestige. But when compared to all B-schools Rankings, IMT Ghaziabad is definitely higher up the charts than IIM Shillong or SPJAIN PGDM. If given the option, it would be better to choose IMT Ghaziabad or IIM Shillong over SPJAIN PGDM. If you are looking for a campus experience, Ghaziabad would be a better personal preference.
Is it worth joining IIM Indore's EPGP programme keeping in mind the placements?
The EPGP Programme was established in the year 2002 at IIM Indore and has produced a great number of alumni since then. The graduated alumni have been performing remarkably well in their fields. The track record set by them is exceptional.
The EPGP course content at IIM Indore is compressed, precise and the learning process is highly based on real-life developments and circumstances. It is one of the most effective ways of learning.
If you have a non-IT background experience of 5-7 years, then you are highly likely to land a good placement. A salary package ranges up to 25 LPA.
Even a candidate with 7 years and above experience would gain no instant financial advancement except some knowledge and academic qualification. You should not hope to acquire the benefits of this degree steadily. The IIM tag is kind of a long-term investment and would help you in getting through the corporate sectors with its name itself.
