Why Executive MBA?

Executive MBA is a management programme exclusively meant for working professionals who wish to upgrade their managerial skills in their field of work or industry to be able to adapt to the rapidly changing business environment and stay relevant in the job market.

Executive MBA (EMBA) has steadily become a popular and perhaps a more lucrative counterpart of the regular MBA programme. This is because a professional, with a few years of managerial expertise, gets a great opportunity to grow, without disturbing the inflow of a consistent salary and experience that a regular job provides.

E-MBA is a custom-designed MBA that eases a professional’s journey from middle management to senior management position.

According to a study in 2015, after successful completion of E-MBA, the employees’ promotion has been reached up to 40%. with the globalization of markets across the world, many ‘Top B-Schools’ like IIMS now offer their own Executive MBA options for the high-flying top-level professionals, to provide them with an international perspective in the company of similarly experienced people.

Eligibility criteria

  • Any candidate who has completed bachelor’s degree from a recognized university or Institute. In many institutes, there is no minimum cut off marks for Executive MBA admission.
  • The candidate must have at least Five years of work experience at managerial or executive level.
  • The candidate must check the eligibility criteria of the preferred B-schools before applying.

Benefits of Executive MBA

Business experts agree  E-MBA is valuable for professionals with years of experience, as long as it provides adequate returns on investment (ROIs). Before starting any program, professionals need to determine whether the program provides value for today and if it is the best fit for their future. That is, professionals need to determine if the program will advance their skill set and make them more marketable. In fact, there are several advantages to getting an EMBA mid-career, including the following:

  1. Diverse Interactions (with Peer Groups)
  2. Work place growth
  3. Business Networks
  4. Entrepreneurial skills
  5. Career advancement.
  6. Leadership skills
  7. Strategic and critical thinking skills.

To conclude everything at last, I would say that If you are seeking a more strategic, senior management role, and looking to take your career and your organisation to new heights, this program will give you tactical management skills to support success in an increasingly competitive, international and ever-changing business landscape.
