IIM B PGPEM Program is meant for working professionals who can't do a regular MBA along with their job. This EMBA is done over the weekend for a duration of 2 years. Has anyone had a comprehensive review about this program? 
How has it changed your career trajectory? I know it does not provide placement support since mostly working professionals are enrolled in it. Is the fee 20lacs justified? How do you manage and juggle your work life, marriage life (assuming married) and MBA course altogether?

I am probably earning 2x of what an average T-1 MBA grad makes in India. I'm just not happy in my role and this SDE grind caught me lackin'.

Can you help me determine whether it is still a good bet to get an MBA? Because these normie MBA folks are literally the dumbest people I have seen and I think I can do a better job than them.

Earning 2x of a Tier-1 MBA grad already. Should I still do an MBA?

I joined an MBA program while I was making close to the average salary of post MBA grads. 
  
 Few things to remember: 
  
 1. Opportunity cost of a 2 year MBA is humongous. The PGP at IIMs will cost you a crore+. Imagine trying to get an ROI on it. 
  
 2. PGP at IIMs are filled with freshers and low work experience folks which naturally means there are very few senior roles on offer. So you may not find the right level after MBA. 
  
 3. It's best to restrict yourself to 1 year programs like ISB's PGP and IIM's PGPX. 
  
 4. Be really sure of what you want from the MBA. You can easily switch to SDM or product roles without MBA. Recommend giving that a shot if you are just tired of SDE

Planning to do this just for credentials + MBA degree which is a must in larger companies for non-tech roles, not looking for any placement support. The cost is 15 lacs. 

The other option is MDI Gurgaon, the cost of their online program is 9 lacs. 

Looking for some feedback on this move considering my objectives.

PGDM or EMBA for working professionals?

Is it beneficial to do Online MBA or PGPWP from IIM’s, considering that the fees is ~20LPA and the classes are conducted online or on weekends. I am currently working in a big 4 with 5years of experience in tech consulting and earning ~ 30LPA, leaving current job will be a difficult decision, therefore I have been considering such courses. My current employer might not be able to give me any promotion on this basis but will it help in long run and help in switching to MBB’s ? 
Also, does the degree of these courses specify online or anything which sets it apart from regular course degree?

Looking for top executive MBA program in India.

The top ones in IIMs are costly.
I am looking for something which is affordable and has good placements, alumni network.

Online is preferred though offline from Bengaluru is also fine.
No full time as current job is important.

Anyone with personal experience or insights into the IIM-A PGPX program?

How's the curriculum? What's the industry reputation and placements?

Also any idea about how competitive the program is?

Cybersecurity

Hi all, 

I am currently having near to 4 year experience in an MNC working as a backend dev. A few years back I got to know the executive MBA programs that these are offered to professionals with work experience and the education fee is very high that will possibly take your career to new heights.
 
Please share your advice on how I can / shall I go for this. If you have any knowledge or pursued an executive MBA. Please share your experiences. Money wise and how it'll be in the program. As I come from a middle class background it'd be tough to afford such a 30L+ fee Structure. 

I appreciate the effort, thank you.

Advice on Executive MBA

I have an offer from IIM-Kozhikode (EPGP) and ISB (PGPpro).

IIM-K is approx 15 lakhs, 2 year-long program. Classes every weekend, but have to attend online at a centre in Bangalore.

ISB is approx 30 lakhs, 1.5 year-long long program. Classes alternate between online one week and in-person (Bangalore) one week.

No Executive MBA offers placements. I'm doing this for the sake of a higher education, and hopefully securing leadership roles in Big Tech in the longer run.

Purely from a ROI standpoint, which college should I choose?

Which Executive MBA to choose?

I am thinking of doing an executive MBA for a better salary hike. I am not in a situation where I would want to drop my current job and take up a regular MBA, moreover executive MBAs let you get those degrees from good colleges. I am currently getting 7.8LPA, how much hike can I expect by the end of my executive MBA?
