Which Executive MBA to choose?

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?

None. Nothing apart from IIM A/B/C PGP or ISB PGP is worth the money you spend and the associated opportunity cost.

also better to check their placement reports for their 1yr or 2yr programs. That's the only truth. Without Placement there's no point in doing efgbkl-MBA bcoz someone is selling you a dream online.

Is the 1 year full time mba from iim abc worth it?

Neither. Go for the ISB flagship PGP or a full time executive MBA from IIM A,B,C

None. Better to do it from within company

Disagree. When it comes to Big Tech, a lot of emphasis goes in MS/MBA for higher positions. You will rarely find companies offering roles without an additional degree.

Online mba toh Amity University bhi karwata hai, 2lkh fees hai, Amity ki kuch toh halki brand value hai, you could also consider doing that if wants to spends less money.

@TheChosenOne if you don’t mind, can you disclose your present income and what jump are you expecting post MBA in 2-3 years? I am also contemplating between campus and weekend MBA but not able to make sense of ROI?

IIM-K EPGP (Online, 2 Years)

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...
