Executive MBA

Hi Tiwari,
Executive MBA is normally pursued by working professionals with anywhere between 8 - 10 years of experience. An Executive MBA program is a full time program. Most of these candidates are sponsored by their companies. The duration of the program is one year and it is a very demanding program.
Distance MBA on the other hand is pursued by working professionals who want to grow on the job.
There are many Universities who provide distance MBA/EMBA:
1. Indian Institute of Management – Lucknow.
2. Faculty of Management Studies - University of Delhi.
3. Indian Institute of Foreign Trade.
4. Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies.
5. Symbiosis Institute of Business Management – Pune.
6. Institute of Management Technology – Ghaziabad.

Hi Vidi,
Online degree options for executive MBA students have become very popular. This allows you to remain at your job and meet other responsibilities while you complete your degree. It is very important that the online school you choose to complete your degree program is accredited.
The program provides key training for those who want to continue to climb the corporate ladder. The online Executive MBA program is also beneficial to high-level employees who want to polish their business skills to qualify for similar positions at other corporations.

Hey Gaurav,
Executive MBA is a course for candidates who work full time while pursuing an MBA, and are hence 'working executives' while they pursue an MBA. It is a part time, evening, distance learning or online program generally meant for people with 6 - 13 years of experience. IIMs provide good executive programs, though it is not equivalent to its regular MBA. It does provide a high ROI for the company you work and as an individual.
If you've less than three - four years experience in your line of work, consider going for Distance MBA to pick up some management oriented skill with which you can give a boost to your existing opportunities. However, if you've got 5-7 years of experience, then consider taking an academic break from work and fully devote yourself to gaining an executive MBA, which is an accelerated programme for experienced business leaders.

Hi Anil,
As far as my research is concerned, placements in SIMS are great and there are students yet to be placed as well. (I can't give information about how many are left but I believe most of them are placed)
The average salary I see people discussing is somewhere around 7LPA plus or minus 50K. SIMS had ICICI bank in campus and gave 5.4LPA as well (Not sure if this info is very much correct).
As far as salary is concerned, you can negotiate with HR person if you are coming with work experience, but do not expect much, let's say If the company is giving 6LPA to fresher and you ask for 9LPA, it's a NO (Few company say Up to 2 years work-ex is considered to be fresher e.g. Credit Suisse)
So, If you are wondering how good is SIMS, I believe you would have already made up your mind seeing the packages? But there's lot of opportunities if you get marketing as major specialization (e.g Startups in some new milk brand to ZoomCar). The alumni network is pretty decent and because of them, companies do visit in the campus for recruitment.
Faculty is decent i.e. some of the teachers are brilliant (especially visiting ones as they have lot of industry experience). Symbiosis name attracts good candidates as students, so class interactions are really good.
It would be of most value if you are doing it in parallel to your job. This will give you a chance to learn new things and apply those in everyday work. To enquire about more, here is the link to the college:
