Executive Management Program

“A management course for the executive is not the place for trying something new or exploring your inner calling. This is a place to add value to what they were doing or their existing field of expertise. We make the candidates aware of this during the selection process itself".

The other thing that MBA colleges in indore offering executive management courses are facing is the attitude of the candidates. There is a huge chunk of students who wish to use executive education as a way to ‘change their field or profession’, ‘try something new’ or ‘explore a hidden talent’. Most who opt for executive MBAs giving any of these reasons are proved wrong and return to the sectors/fields/industries they came from.

Relatively a newer kind of management degree, the executive or one-year MBA courses are on the rise. Almost all the Indian IIMs and other ace business schools offer a course specially designed for those with higher work experience. These programs are usually of a duration of one year or less and charge a fee well over Rs 15 lakhs. Executive or one-year MBAs have replaced the three-year part-time MBA or PGDM as the most preferred option for working executives.

Placements for executive MBA usually transpire very differently from those of a conventional two-year MBA. The placement process for the executives is usually like a lateral placement process, where the interviews happen over a period of time. Many a time, the candidates are called to the company headquarters, ostensibly to get a feel of the company before the final decision is made. This usually takes anything between three days and a week during which the students have to make time for travel or conference calls.
