Acquiring an executive MBA degree, unlike a conventional MBA degree, is not just about gaining management knowledge and skills. Designed for those with 10-15 years of experience, the right executive program can prove to be a launching pad into upper management jobs all over the world.

We know that a wrong decision can result in a huge and expensive waste of time, effort, and money. Hence, consider these factors when comparing and identifying top executive MBA programs for professionals.

Choice of Institution

Some of the top institutions that offer highly-rated executive MBA degrees, apart from us, include IIMs, ISB, XLRI, IIFT, and Symbiosis. Some institutions enjoy better brand recognition and visibility as compared to others. While choice of institution is important, it is imperative to keep in mind that merely joining a top business school will not automatically result in a career boost.

Topics Covered in the Curriculum

A generic course from a top institution will not provide the same benefits as a specialized course designed to meet your requirements and professional needs. The comparison of institutions must be accompanied by a comparison of the curriculum as well.

We advise candidates to keep in mind that the MBA degree should remain relevant and useful for a long time in the future. Opting for a future-oriented degree should be your top priority irrespective of the brand value of the business school in question.

Course Fee and Average Placement Salary

If asked to choose between spending Rs. 8 to earn a profit of Rs. 10, and spending Rs. 6 to earn a profit of Rs. 12, which one would you choose? Ultimately, the executive MBA degree you choose should offer adequate benefits to justify the costs. Opting for an exorbitant degree that results in an average increase in salary does not make sense. Instead, you should opt for an affordable program as long as there is no compromise in quality.

Ease of Entry

We recognize that managing a MBA degree along with a job can be an extremely tough proposition. In such a scenario, opting for an institution with extremely rigid and harsh entry standards can affect your productivity even further. It is advisable to consider a program that looks beyond marks and scores, and considers work experience and other parameters when offering admission.

Conclusion

Opting for an EMBA course is an important decision with immense strategic implications. Have an open mind and analyze your options in an impartial and unbiased manner to ensure you enjoy maximum gains and benefits from your decision to acquire this important qualification.
