Overview of Executive MBA Program
Among all the career courses today, MBA or a post graduate diploma in management (PGDBM) is most sought after. The sudden boom in the Indian economy has increased the need for top level managers in business establishments across all sectors of the economy. The impact of privatization, globalization and liberalization has fueled this demand and those with an MBA degree from a reputed institute are the direct beneficiaries. A person manned with an MBA from a reputed institute can be guaranteed a bright future in the corporate world. MBA course curriculum in India can be categorized into 5 types
1.Full time MBA 2.Part time MBA 3.Executive MBA 4.Distance MBA 5.Online MBA EXECUTIVE MBA:The executive MBA is commonly referred to as EMBA and are designed specifically to enhance the careers of working professionals, managers and executives.They are for those professionals who are looking to update the general management skills and prepare themselves for career advancement opportunities. In most EMBA programs students' professional experience and expertise becomes an integral part of the curriculum. Executive MBAs give an edge over normal MBAs as this program is specially designed for middle level executives already having strong experience in their domain. So If you are a working professional and can not afford to assign time for full time education, then executive MBA programs are just your type. These EMBA programs allow you to earn an MBA or other management related degree in two years or less while working full time.The EMBA is typically completed during the evenings or on weekends over a two year period. The participants come from different organizations profit and non profit and represent a variety of industries.What really sets the executive MBA apart from many other MBA programs is the level of experience and insights that students bring to the program. If you are having more than 6 years of work experience, you can go for Executive MBA from any distinguished B-School in the country.You can also expand your domain of knowledge by getting in touch with professional who generally have 5 to 10 years of experience in their fields and these programs usually attract people of age groups 28 to 55 years. You might be wondering what is being taught at an Executive MBA Program. The emphasis is usually laid on general management training, increased competence in management specialties, management of international businesses, organizational and interpersonal skills and sophisticated understanding of the integration of businesses and their environments. As far as courses are concerned, they are normally the same as those taught in traditional MBA programs- Accounting, Finance, Statistics, Marketing, Information systems to name a few. The criterion for selection is usually the students CAT or GMAT scores his or her own professional performance, academic records,professional recommendations and a demonstrated ability to accomplish graduate-level business coursework.

In my opinion if you are having an adequate experience, you should go for an EMBA degree rather than enroll yourself for a Part-time course. In a Part-time course, there is the chance of you getting complacent since, this is not a full-time course and you may not be able to continue the course for 3 yrs at a stretch along with your work. So better, work a little harder for 1 year and relish the fruits of success for the coming years! Add Comment CommentsYou may also like to read |
