IIM Lucknow: 9 Answered Questions

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?

Ankit SharmaPGPM from Indian Institute of Management Kashipur (Graduated 2018)

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

  1. ISB- PGP (Post Graduate Program)
  2. IIM Ahmedabad- PGPX (Post Graduate Program for Executives)
  3. IIM Bangalore- EPGP (Executive Post Graduate Program)
  4. IIM Kolkata- PGPeX (Post Graduate Program for Executives)
  5. 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.

Should I go for a PGPM in MDI Gurgaon or for IIM L ABM?

Rituparna Nath
Rishika ShinddeMBA in Marketing & Finance, Management Development Institute, Gurgaon (Graduated 2018)

Go for the IIM Lucknow ABM program only if you are sincerely inclined towards agri. If not then choosing ABM will limit your career prospects considerably and you might even regret it later.

MDI Gurgaon PGDM is one of the oldest programs that have great value. MDI Gurgaon can easily be called the country’s best B School. The admissions are solely based on merit so the quality of your peers is top-notch. Some major highlights of the institute and its PGDM program are

  • Experienced permanent faculty
  • Student-driven clubs
  • Student-driven Mutual Fund 
  • Elaborate alumni network 
  • Lush green campus
  • Excellent peer learning

So you will not regret choosing MDI even over IIM Lucknow.

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

Saba ZafarLives 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.

How is IIM Lucknow & Wiley’s product analytics program? It costs almost 2 lakhs. Is it worth it? Has anyone done this course?

Ahana Bhaduri
Sulagana BhattacharyaMBA from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (2021)

Honestly, there are so many online courses offering the same program that are cost-friendly. Brand name does not play any major role in your career in Analytics. So paying such hefty fees is not understandable. Also, the professors of Analytics here are too old and have never worked in the field in real life. They are just here to earn money and impart bookish knowledge. 

Courses like these require passion and willingness to learn and not a brand name or huge fees. This course is suitable for a senior manager who is eager to learn about Analytics.

Its ROI is quite good because of excellent placements. It offers tremendous opportunities in various domains. Almost all the top companies visit the IIML campus each year to hire candidates. Its curriculum and faculty are both top notch, and its diverse batch means good peer learning.

How is the Executive Advanced General Management Programme (1 year) at IIM Lucknow? What are the opportunities?

Rituparna Nath
Neeraj PatelPGDM from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (Graduated 2018)

Rather than inquiring about the worth of a course, one should analyze whether the course is suitable for them or not. Your preference should be a priority not the worth of the course.

That being said, Executive MBA programs are suitable for 

  • professionals with considerable experience (+10 years) , who are also managing a large team
  • people in the consulting industry

If you don’t belong to any of these 2 categories, then the course is of no real value for you. This is because this program is far sighted and focuses on managerial elements like Organization and Strategies. Unless you are a consultant or a top manager this knowledge will be of little use. So go for it once you belong to one of the two categories only.

Which course should I choose between IIML ABM, SPJAIN IM and IIM Shillong PGP?

Himank AgarwalKnows about CAT and MBA in general. CAT'21 99.6

No matter which B School you choose, PGP is always a better choice than ABM. But there might be a specific reason why you got an ABM offer rather than a PGP. But at IIM Lucknow, students of both programs are offered equal opportunities. These include final placements. summer placements and subsequent PPOs. 

The major drawback of ABM is that you are deprived of the PGP electives and can cover ABM electives only. These electives cover strategy marketing and operations. 

Talking about your offer from SP JAIN for IM, let me tell you that in this regard, IIM Shillong is a much better choice. Its campus in Dubai is a testament to its worth.

Which one is better between IIM Lucknow PGP sustainability Management and IIM Shillong PGP and why?

Anmol GuptaStudied at Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Graduated 2019)

IIM Lucknow is one of the older IIMs and therefore has a stronger alumni base. IIMs mostly specialize in Core Management and Investment Banking. So before you consider taking Sustainable Management look up at the figures and campus records.

Sustainable Management is only beneficial if at the end of the program you have formed professional colleagues or have come up with a business idea.

Currently, Sustainable Development lacks the demand and credibility enjoyed by other domains. So it’s a risky choice and should be considered only if you are serious about it or don’t have any other options.

How is the sustainability management at IIM Lucknow?

Ankit MalikM.B.A. from Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Graduated 2017)

The Sustainability Management program is an excellent domain with the capability to gain fame quickly. Although it has been launched several years before it is only now that corporations are finally giving it the attention it deserves. In fact, some companies across the spectrum of industries are establishing formal teams to solve this issue.

The level of expertise in this domain is relatively lacking all across - policy making, policy implementation, regulation, etc. This can be seen as an opportunity as it has led to an increased demand for professionals with a formal background in Sustainability Management.

The curriculum includes the foundation management courses along with complex topics like

  • Principles of Sustainability
  • Marketing of Sustainability
  • Creativity in designing solutions for Sustainability
  • Measuring and Reporting Sustainability
  • Sustainability in SCM
  • Policymaking
  • Research in Sustainability 
  • HRM for Sustainability

So in the current scenario, the Sustainability Management program offers ample opportunities to aspiring managers.
