Executive MBA

In recent years, the executive mode of Master of Business Administration programme has gained a great amount of significance and popularity among working professionals and people who wish to make it big in the world of business. In a recently conducted survey, it has been revealed that full-time one-year MBA, executive MBA, and online MBA programs have edged out the traditional full-time two-year programme in terms of application growth worldwide.

The global survey report by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) indicates full-time one-year MBA, executive MBA, and online MBA programs appear to be experiencing stronger application growth whereas full-time two-year, part-time, and flexible MBA programs worldwide are indicating declines this year. Executive MBA is suitable for not only working professionals but also for those who want to renew their career prospects after a break and even for fresh graduates who wish to earn a few years’ experience before going back to pursue a PG degree. And since the duration of these programmes is considerably shorter than full-time MBA courses, managing classes and regular lectures isn’t difficult. These MBA programmes are usually conducted over 15 months and offer a flexible schedule for executives and senior professionals.
